What is the difference between the older Lyman T Mag press & the new version, Lyman T Mag II press ?????

The ( T ) stands for turret , that rotates and you can place the dies in it, where with out the turret, you can only install one die at a time,

The T mag allows you to produce a loaded round without having to switch dies out by rotating the turret.You can also mount a powder measure in one of the turret holes. If you order extra turrets you can leave the dies in place and just switch turrets to change calibers.

The newest model (type II) is 2 AAA, an older version used only 1. I highly recommend the newest model.

Tho only difference I can see is the lip on the older trays is higher and kind of slotted. The lip on the newer trays is sold but not as high. Appears to be about 1/4" difference, but both have a raised lip.

They are essentially priced the same and practically do not differ that much. I had both, newer one works better for me in general (and finish-wise, black one goes better with my camera).I guess the old one becomes a collectible now :-)

There appears to be no difference. The tactical one was more expensive at the time that I bought mine that's why I didn't get it. Get it before the price goes back up.

I just bought a new one of these after the old standby of many years broks. Unlike the old one, the new one does have some side-to-side play but works just fine in clearing out the square holes in the press. Hope this helps.

There is something wrong with that listing of the Makarov magazine. I purchased 2 for $20 plus shipping. That was high, but no other choice.The picture looks like a machine gun magazine now. I believe the pistol comes with 1 magazine, but mine was a refurbished one not from Amazon. Needs better than Crosman Copper BBs but still misfires occasionally. I use Daisy PrecisionMax zinc coated.Also bought a Crosman C11, cheaper works pretty good and magazines are cheaper.John

I've had both. They both have the same light gathering abilities, but the version II is smaller and is a bit better optically the the original 14-42, although I think you'd be hard pressed to see the difference in most situations. The version II is a smoother lens, mechanically.

Not much. I have no problem full length resizing properly lubricated 7mm Rem Mag with that press. If an average person has a grip strength of between 70-80 pounds, I'd estimate no more than 20-30 for 30-30. If you're on the fence, I'd say go for it. My dad has a nice Lyman press, and he still bought this one in addition to his first one after he tried using mine. Can't go wrong.

i've used dillon and other dies in my press, but it's a 1970's rcbs junior. if yours is single stage and the threads are the same, i would assume so. if progressive, they may be more suited to a lee press. why do i believe i have seen threaded inserts for conversion of dies!?

I just got into the Glock game because HKs have gotten wayyy to expensive for me now so I only have the new Gen 4 mags. But they do have a notch on each side at the base of the mag and a slot on each side of the mag plate for the notches. Sorry I don't know much about the gen 2 mags. I have these base plates on g19, 17, 22, and g21 mags (uses different plates for the 21) and they work well.

Not able to answer that particular ?,,, I can tell you the magazine well needed additional machining to provide clearance for the removable magazines "detents", fingers.... might be worth a few extra bucks to upgrade a tad. Happy otherwise.

I think the major difference is that the susi 3 has a built-in cleaning tool and the susi 2 doesn't. I personally find this important because without the cleaning tool it would be a nightmare to clean the many very small holes in the press.

Are they the same price? If they are, it's a printing err. Crossman does make a more expensive, and some say more precision pellet that is shipped in larger quantities, in a box, not a tin. They are called "lights" or "light hollow points" thus the LHP designation. Just my opinion!

the two main buttons on top (left and right click) of the old version have a matte finish that feels very high quality, almost metallic like a media-blasted aluminum. The new ones are shiny plastic and feel MUCH cheaper. Yes they may both function the same, and are both incredibly durable (I travel with mine and drop them constantly), but I'd pay double for the old version over the new. It just FEELS so much nicer to me.

I have the original version and cannot discern any difference between it and the new one I just received. Was hoping for some difference, otherwise I woldn't have purchased it for $19. . .
