Has anyone ever tried the tuning slide out of...

Has anyone ever tried the trigger tuning slides out of a King 7B in one of the JinBao clones? I’m curious how closely they copied it. Wonder if they’ll swap.

Interesting question. If it fits, some low life could put a 7B bell on a JinBao clone and try to pass it off as the real thing...
I'm not a complete idiot, some parts are still missing! :D

I was curious if the alternate tuning slides made for the 7B would fit the clone. Is the bell nut on your 7B on the slide or the bell? That could be a tell. It’s on the bell on the clone.
