NNN-BC choice: when are Magnums a real advantage?

[LazyTelemarker]

Are these older generation nnn bc auto still at all useful? There's a pair of old school teles in my area that I'm trying to justify purchasing, help me reason myself into more skisScreenshot_20231203_213539_Facebook.jpg

Those look exactly like the manual NNNBC that I have on my old Karhu Pavos. They work fine but that recessed folding pull can make entry/exit a bit of a hassle, especially in arctic weather with mitts on. I've got several autos on other skis and prefer them, with never any issues. As an aside- if you get them and they need new flexors, Norseman had a big jar of them at $10 each when I recently needed a couple of replacements.

That's great to hear, I'm heading into Norsemans this week for some Christmas shopping. Thanks!
