It is quite possible to interchange spears from one manufacturer to another. If you look at you spear you will find on the loading end there is a slightly lager diameter, tapered end. This end piece is threaded on to the spear & has two uses. One is stop the slider & two is to hold the spear in place by jamming the tapered end into the top of the piston. It is the piston that the trigger holds back not the spear. If this little end piece did not jam in place when you tipped the gun forward the spear would slide out!
Now if you fit a mamba kit the "O" rings that seal out the water will also hold the spear in place - so the little end piece has lost one of its jobs. Now if you take it one step further by removing the end piece completely & somehow fix you running line to the spear you can then remove the slider.
Are you still with me? Shall I go to the next stage?
