Chris, I think LW still uses that alloy. It's not bad, at least to this consumer. I had one and it shot well and wore well for a button barrel. I got ~4,200 rounds out of it before it puked. That's about 1,000 more than I normally expect out of a button barrel.
The Lothars are kind of expensive. For the money, I'd just as soon have a WO Wilson or a Krieger.
