I recently bought the M5 from cool bank and everything works fine except for the barrel elevation and flashing along with the recoil any ideas?

I would start by looking for a loose cable connector inside the turret. You may just get lucky and even be able to reconnect it through the open commander's and gunner's hatches. I am not at home now to take a photo of the connected board, but it's at least a possibility.

You may also find it was shipped at full recoil, if that was the case you can gently pull the barrel out.

Cheeze Whiz: given the "one direction" rib or ribs on the JST connectors, some worker (probably having to keep up a frenetic pace) had to ham fist that one a bit.
