I don't know if the new replacement cases are even available with the features 
that you need for a type 3. I have always used, and been completely satisfied 
with good, used type 3 cases. I let RIMCO align-bore them and add case savers 
and they seem fine. I get OE mileage out of them, and have never been  
disappointed.  

I have good used type 3 cases here, too, both AT and MT.
