Jagdpanther problem

Post by Militarymight »

Customer has had a few probs with his tank
When the jagd is moving it constantly fires with the barrel recoiling. how do we stop this.
Weve tried battery, crystals etc

Check if the barrel is recoiling to it's full extention. If the barrel is stopped from returning to it's full recoil possition it will keep trying to fire.

Has he run it into a wall and compressed the recoil system? If so the recoil would keep operating as long as the barrel was compressed. It sounds like something has bent a contact and made a continuous circuit.

It may well be that the problem is inside the recoil unit, so unless he is prepared, or able, to dismantle it, he may be unable to resolve it.

Hi Andy You are going to have to open her up ,first thing to look at when you do is look at the recoil unit on the side and see if it is fully returning end of the stroke.I had one that did this and this was the problem, cure was make sure the barrel isnt bent or tight in the sleeve freely moving all the way to the end of stroke and that it hits the limit switch and flash .
