70s Vintage Lymans
« Reply #1 on: January 11, 2004, 03:07:13 PM »
If I recall, the 70s vintage Lymans were much closer to the size of the Remington Beals than the actual 58 Remington.  The grip was a little smaller and the overall size of the gun was slightly scaled down.  I remember in the lage 80s the Italians started building a more authentic sized Remington.  As to whether or not they are any good, they are probably just fine.  I know they might be a tad softer of steel than those being made today, and I doubt they would accept any of the conversion cylinders made today.  But that's just a guess.
