Some of the really old ones use a shorter valve spring. Though pretty much anything can be modified though so i wouldn't worry about it much.BeardedWorks.com (Your Inception Designs and Shocktech Dealer)

This may be helpful to look at;
While this likely common knowledge to most MCBers, I have a pre-2k and a 2k body on hand so thought I’d do a quick comparison for people looking to learn more about cockers. This is my first pre-2k cocker, so please feel free to correct me and/or add information. As is usually the case, what I have on hand is a little but of

I don't think I ever posted in there, but I'll tell you here- that's an excellent write-up. I should go over that again at some point.

Ok so I went on eBay looking at bodies and it seems most pre-2k bodies already have a detent and lug adjustment hole drilled and I guess if I wait I can find one that has been threaded for an ivg, there's a dust silver one on there but its kinda scratched up that's been threaded for one or maybe I'm overthinking that part like usual
Now what about the vasa was drilling them to whatever the 2k spec was a thing

No I have one of those I'm building already, I just like the old school look of a slab side cocker and figured I'd build one for my pump gun, I was over thinking everything and I don't want to have to take the frame off to adjust the hammer lug I'm lazy lol
As for the vasa I just wanna be bougie and use one of the attktx vasa screws, ecapnation said they were different but didn't specify how

Yes, not having an externally adjustable hammer is inconvenient if you're building a mech, but not that big of a deal if you're running a pre2k mini pump.
Less volume was desired by those of us seeking higher 12gram efficiency, and a pre2k mini body checks those boxes off. I actually have an old slab side right feed mini cocker in pieces that's been sitting for a LONG time if you're still looking.
I'll post pics when I can. I think russc did a write up on 12g efficiency for various platforms several years ago, and pre2k minis with correct springs performed fairly well on unregulated co2. 25-35 usable shots isn't bad at all with a stacked tube pump vs a nelson-based pump.
