I have been thinking about getting a new 80 but looking for reassurance

Lock up is still the same as the old ones..only the lugs have changed. Mach 1.5

So going by the old ones it looks like it hits the weak spot is that right?

I've got an 80 from 2012..with the new set up. Not a problem at all. No weak spot in my opinion. Mach 1.5

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?

Sounds like you are trying to talk yourself out of getting one, so don't 😁

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
