You are right Max, I can't say that I have seen any reports off any problems, but I have always admired the robust precision engineering of the 80 the way that the barrel block lands on the flat part of the lug and the barrel has no droop or rise very cleaver then when you look at the new type it looks like tat and I wouldn't be surprised if the new ones did have droop or rise looking at the set up.

And what about that spring thing that stops the link from rattling that also looks like tat, why not just put a washer in and do a proper job even I can do that

I think the old 80 was one of the best spring guns made
