I had my RX2 apart couple of days ago and tonight I was looking at gunspares site at the hw90 part list. I noticed the the barrel pivot bolt screws into another hollow screw, not a "nut". And I was looking at the cocking shoe on their site and it's one piece. On my RX2 it's 2 pieces. Is that normal? and with the stock off and the barrel cocked in the down position (not in battery), I can take the cocking arm out of the shoe. So is that normal also? Thanks in advanced

Thanks in advancedThe cocking shoe is meant to come unhooked when removing the barrel. There's a early shoe that is stamped steel and a later part that's cast aluminum. They're completely interchangeable. The pivot bolt is sold as an assembly it's B1350.

If the cocking was very "ham fisted" this could be the damage done by the "cocking shoe on the liner"...........Another "issue" with the old style cocking shoe was that the "wings" were pressed against the inside of the cocking shoe slot edges by the "spring action" of the piston liner. This extra drag made it close to impossible to get a real pivot bolt tension adjustment. My solution was to hone the cocking shor foot and wings to make them smoother and thinner so there was almost no drag on the receiver ID. LOL....here is what happened to the Vortex PG2 outer plastic spring guide shortly after installation from a well used old style cocking shoe.........Anywhoo.........with my HW95 the new design cocking shoe add no extra drag when sliding so it's very easy to gage pivot bolt tension.
On the subject is the gold trigger v the silver trigger, because the R series have "gold" and the HW series have "silver".Aren't the triggers identical except for gilding? I thought so.

Btw there's aluminums that are more than adequate for the job. So it's not beyond reason. Unless you don't understand the boundaries of these materials.

I thought so.Yep...just different colored trigger blades.Rekord from a Beeman R9..........Rekord from my HW95........
Older Beeman's may have silver, at least my R1 SN 1115345 has silver - original owner.
