Anybody seen the new Lyman in person?

Looking at pics,and the adjusting "stem"...... I'm assuming it's not like the 55,but like a Uniflow?

Haven't seen one on epay yet,but midway and cabelas have'm for 50$ish plus shipping.

Insights? Made in USA?

My new Lyman Brass Smith Powder Measure is a real gem. The directions recommend cleaning the interior thoroughly with alcohol to get rid of any oil that might be present. After I cleaned it, I coated all moving parts with graphite (spray can) including the metering cylinder and metering rod. It is very well made, precision machined with tight tolerances and substantial components. I checked the powder throws for accuracy and repeatability at 6 gr and 24 gr because that is where I will primarily use it. With just a little bit of familiarization I consistently produced throws that varied less than 0.1 gr. It is very easy to use and has many useful features. Lyman has hit a homerun.

50$ ?
man, I'm kind of torn here.
Lyman has been slipping on their quality for a bit, but they are putting out a brass powder throw for 50 bucks.
