Hi All
Having some difficulty trying to figure out what's wrong with the recoil on my Jagdpanther, I thought I'd fixed it, the gun fired it recoiled..then stuck again, the motor made terrible sound because it couldn't recoil any further, I dare not touch it or try take it apart again I don't want to break it...Could somebody please take a close up pic of their tam JP recoil system..thanks.
Here's a pic of mine, as you can see its jammed there and can't recoil
Cheers
Jake

Hi Jake, might be the picture but looks like you recoil bracket is bent. If the recoil units grinding then something obstructing the barrel from moving. You really need to remove the recoil assembly, check the barrel isn't getting stuck in the Manley sleeve. Next check the recoil units working ok without load. Then make sure everything aligned .

Here's my Tamiya recoil unit (it's in a tiger) but you can see the plastic bracket connecting the gun to the unit is dead straight .
Hope it was of some help.

Think that's a fairly common issue with jagdpanzers in transit, both mine have suffered the same thing
