calmex,

The "diamond" N-Frame magnas feel better in my hand then do the later "non-diamonds". I think its because the older magnas have a more rounded curve coming off the frame towards the checkering. The later versions are more blocky and square, like the later N-Frame target stocks.

However I do have some N-Frame magnas that I think were made right after the loss of the "diamond" and they seem to follow the lines of the "diamond" magnas in fit.

On the American auction sites the "diamond" N-Frames are starting to command higher prices but they can still be found somewhat reasonable if you have the time. In lieu of you might look for the "non-diamonds" of older manufacture I speak of.

I have enjoyed your previous thread on the Registered Magnum by the way. Tremendous history there.
