    I only call it the weak spot because it looks like a weak spot in the pic anyway it seems like that there is no flat spot for the barrel block lip to land on when closed does the edge of the block hit the slopping hollow lug when closed as a stop?

    80

    Since 1983 I've owned 120. Only 2 have I had problems with. A 177 they couldn't make any power and one where someone had overscrewd the front lugs to death. Mach 1 6

    You must one of the best 80 fans to ask with all of your experience of them

    Are the old type better than the new type ?

    Like your style Paul

    I’ve had a few 80’s myself in all guises and mk’s, I really should have kept that venom trapshot one I got from you though

    Oh well my mate still has it and loves it.

    Slightly off topic (sorry Barry) but the HW99s seems to be my niche those buggers find me most folks think I’m nuts but I can’t resist them, I’ve messed about with them for too many years now to stop although I’ve got about another 90 to get to your level
