A few days ago, I posted on a Heng Long Metal Barrel Recoil BB shooting unit for 3838 Pershing upgrade kit that I purchased for my 2005 Snow Leopard. I said that over 18 years, HL changed the cannon mantle mounting plate enough that the kit does not fit my Pershing. I contact the Toucan seller (build-for-u) to request a return. They got back to me in a few days after talking to the HL technical team. They came up with the idea of swapping the old mounting plate to the new unit. It works, but it is not a simple direct drop-in replacement. It took me 2 days of careful griding and cutting. I will post more pictures to describe the process in the next few days.
The Metal Barrel Recoil BB shooting unit works with TK-6.0/7.0 without any electrical modification. Just connect the recoil motor to CN6. I have upgraded the Pershing with a TK-6.0S MB which works together very well.
The Metal Barrel Recoil BB shooting unit is bulkier than the old BB only unit. I will do more test tomorrow to see if there is any interference problem in turret movement. In the pictures below, Left is the Pershing with the old cannon where the barrel and mantle are molded as one piece. On the right is the Pershing with the recoil unit. You can see the longer barrel.
I will like to mention that the seller, build-for-u, gave me the full refund and told me to keep the recoil unit. He asked for a positive feedback on ebay and that I keep them in mind for future business. I purchsed the Leopard 2A6 amd Sherman M4A3 from them the last 2 years. They have exceptional customer service.
