Hi all,

Finally i started working on my abrams HL tank...
I want to use a recoil unit and got the metal one that is sold at several shops, i guess they are all the same ?

Problem is that the cannon and the moving "extension" within the recoil unit are not aligned in a straight line.
There is an offset of about 1 mm so that the cannon is jammed and can not be moved.

Maybe i did something wrong or the recoil unit just does not fit to the abrams tank ?

I made two photos...




A is the recoil unit
B is the inner most plastic part
C cannon
D cannon mount
E pin and hole which needs to line up

There is only one way to attach B to A because the moving part of A and the hole in B are not centered.
There is only one way to attach D to B.
In photo 2 i tried to show that the parts are misaligned for about 1mm.

I have no idea how i could fix that, but maybe its just the wrong recoil unit ?
What do you guys think ?

Regards,
Olaf
