Think you mean the cocking piece.
Yes, that's it.
The only mention of a difference I could find was that some have a "rougher" finish, doesn't help much.
Not sure this is definitive but the upper one is a '41 "dispersal" rifle, the lower a '17 SSA.
Are those the correct way around? Dispersals are commonly encountered with No4 cocking pieces (and/or butts).Quote:
