Jofaur86, not sure that manual helps as it is for the all metal recoil unit DKLM RC sells and not the all metal HL unit he has pictured here. I have that metal unit that he pictured in my HL ZTZ-99 and I don't remember it being threaded at all, but if it was I didn't use them. I know I drilled a hole in the barrel where I needed it and threaded it to accept an M3 screw which I used to hold the barrel in.

This is the recoil unit installed in my Type 98 (HL ZTZ-99):

The bore of the recoil mechanism might be 8mm where the barrel inserts. I would take mine apart to see, but it's really not an easy process to get it apart they way I have it installed. I believe there is a 1mm and a 1.25mm pitch M8 screw. The 1.25mm would be a coarse pitch and the 1mm would be a fine pitch.
