    The point should also be made that the 95% live fire parts is a little misleading.

    The first ones out I believe were more or less co2 internals in a live fire frame, but now that isn't the case (and in the real world unless your very lucky any used example you buy will not be one of those originals.

    The frame is not from a live fire, they are new made and not converted.

    The slide is not from a live fire.

    The grip is not from a live fire.

    The barrel, ramp, firing pin are not from a live fire.

    The mag is not from a live fire.

    Basically the trigger components and hammer, slide spring are live fire, that's about it really.

    But they are made in the same factory and made in the same way, in other words while there is little interchangeable past the grip between the models (and then only the double stack model) it is 95% the same if that makes any sense at all.

    It's kind of like saying a Sierra Cosworth was 95% the same as a boggo Sierra, yes 95% of the parts were more or less the same but they were modified substantially for the application.

    However I do need to emphasise anyone having jamming issues with gamo lead balls has either had a really bad batch or has a bad gun, I've had a lot of Maks of various ages and all have fed perfectly.
