Finally got around to fitting a servo recoil into my lads Panther.....

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

It’s nothing groundbreaking...just used a 3D printed unit from Forgebear...

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..

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

How did you like the recoil unit?

It’s very good...not too much sanding to get a smooth action, straightforward to assemble and easy to fit.

We could do with a bit more of a tutorial Please Mr Frankie if its not too much trouble.
One thing to see it working, another to see how it goes in.
Especially a new-ish product.

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...
