Re: Panther recoil
It would be good if you could show us what you actually did so others in the same situation could learn.

Re: Panther recoil
It’s nothing groundbreaking...just used a 3D printed unit from Forgebear...

Re: Panther recoil
Found this vid of one I put it a Sherman...as you can see the unit is similar in size and shape to a B.B. unit so is more or less a direct replacement..

Re: Panther recoil
I've just installed one of these red recoil units with the return spring that I got from Mr MichealC and installed in Lee's Sherman I've purchased. Was basically a direct swap for the stock airsoft unit
Tanks alot....

Re: Panther recoil
It’s very good...not too much sanding to get a smooth action, straightforward to assemble and easy to fit.Jarlath wrote:How did you like the recoil unit?c.rainford73 wrote:I've just installed one of these red recoil units with the return spring that I got from Mr MichealC and installed in Lee's Sherman I've purchased.

One thing to see it working, another to see how it goes in.
Especially a new-ish product.

Re: Panther recoil
I’m not sure how exciting an “Unscrew and remove the B.B. unit and screw the recoil unit in” tutorial would be, but if I do another I’ll take pics as I do it...
