    Hi guys,

    On the 50th anniversary and the new Black Lung, I've been told they are using the same case. Is the case being used the same thickness as the original versions? Maybe someone who has both can compare and help here!

    Hi,
    I assume you really want a comparison between the original 300 and the reissue, but here are some quick pictures of my new Black Lung reissue next to an original 300T which had a beefed up case over the 300.

    I was initially surprised at the thinner case of the 300 anniversary/reissue/Black Lung but it is already proving to be incredibly comfortable.
    Not sure if the picture really highlights it but the 300T also has further depth behind the cushion before the case back screws in which makes it especially high when mounted on a NATO.

    Edit: Added links in the Black Lung thread to Dr. Pete Millar's website with side by side comparison pics and measurement differences due to the change in movement and crystal.
