Mystery Spring
I took apart my HLPanzer III to replace my airsoft mechanism and I found a large light gauge coil spring spring sitting on top of the unit. Where the heck does it go?

RE: Mystery Spring
That should go on top of your airsoft gun or actually the underside of the turret where it rests between the turret and airsoft unit. You should see a circular bracket where it would rest. This pushes your airsoft gun down keeping the barrel facing upward. The elevation unit will push the airsoft housing up by that tab at the end, compressing the spring as a result forcing the barrel down.

ORIGINAL: dedmonwakin That should go on top of your airsoft gun or actually the underside of the turret where it rests between the turret and airsoft unit.

Also, to ease reassembly, you should superglue the spring to the turret roof. That holds it in place while you manipulate the rest of the turret. Jim |

Good tip 1sgt.
Good to know this is needed on the PIII. It's glued down with King Kong glue from the factory on my Tiger. Sometimes I envy some of the guys with the half tailed factory assembly! |

Thanks again for the help!
