Hi, It looks to me that your replacement gun is way out and was never intended to fire BB's or
even recoil. The picture below shows a PzIV with the long barrelled 75mm. The mantlet is
welded to the recoil housing, and an armoured tube is welded to the recoil housing. The barrel of the gun
recoils into the armoured tube.
Mind you, if you can get yourself the correct diameter and thickness of tube, you could do
a good working replica.

Good Luck
John

I just noticed this discussion, if you are not happy with the barrel Raven you can return it for a refund.  I hadn't realized there was a problem with these but if there is I won't be ordering any more from my supplier.
