You make it sound like they caved in to pier pressure like it was a bad thing. They simply updated with the times. EVERY other brand that formerly had rear cocking has updated to forward cocking. Was it from pressure? Yes, from those that will pay for a product. The market will follow demand, and the demand for forward cocking has been there for quite some time. Are there vet fans that don’t care, and like their originals? Of course! But it’s a small part of the market.
Never owned a cricket in any version but a friend of mine had one and it seemed both guns were equitable, both use CZ barrels, both can crank up power when needed.
I put a post regarding the Vet 2 giving my thoughts both good and not to good changes they made. Side lever was great, smooth and durable. Improved air efficiency and power- or at least equal. shroud and moderator set up- not my favorite. prefer the old shroud with baffles and ability to add on additional moderator for ultra quiet. Finally, if you were one that became enamored with the anti double feed- which I like, you will be let down because they did away with it to fit the side lever design. If you are used to the style of most guns that will double feed if you cock the lever twice, the vet 2 will be a very nice addition with the typical durability. but if that anti double load option is vital, you will stick with the older version. Both are nice IMHO.
The Vet2 parts drawing appears to show a barrel without a threaded shank. If so, then it's a totally different attachment.
Since you are in possession of a Vet2, can you comment on the barrel attachment design? Thanks.
