After all these years of owning the 80 I have never spotted the difference until now. Took apart a 1982 MK1 and the cocking shoe slot is 120mm long yet on a 1987 Mk2 the cocking shoe slot is 115mm. Any one else spotted this? Mach 1.5
Isn't there a difference between the early cocking shoe & the modern one ?
.
Yes..the new cocking shoe appeared in the 2000's but not sure of what particular year..2013? Mach 1.5
Weihrauch new cocking shoe.

Ive put a few vortek kits and just fitting an ARC v-glide kit to my latest one, every new shoe I’ve used has required modification, the slots themselves are also very inconsistent, I’m going to measure the lengths now
What have you needed to do with the new shoes, my friend? Alter stocks on rifles fitted with the earlier shoe, or dress the new shoe itself so it runs properly?
