Help ! Problem with the mantlet

Post by Allan Carlsen »

Hello all

Do I have a problem with the mantlet and inner mantlet ?

It does not look right, I think that there is too much space between these two.

I followed the instructions and all things slide nicely together.

kind regard
Allan

Hello Allan

There is some variation in this dimension due to the mantlet castings. You can reduce the gap by either sawing or filing some material from the front of the barrel pivot CK0412 and reassembling.

Hope this helps

Hello

problem solved, just cut 5 mm of the barrel pivot. The mantlet is now closer to inner mantlet.

Thanks to Mark for the tip :D
