L&R locks (and Silers) are fantastic
I shot a Lyman Hawken for a few years and it was a good gun after I tuned it up
The biggest complaint I have with some of the Itslian locks , especially the coil spring locks is under heavy charges they can come back to half cock.
The triggers are also not as good quality or as accurate and consistent but they can be toned to an extent
