Panther Blank Firer
The blank firer unit is mounted on a special spacer block in the Panther, and is secured using M6*40cap head screws. These screws are designed to engage with the mag house by a minimum of six threads. Due to a variation in flange thickness on the mount, there is a possibility that some builders may find that these screws are not long enough to achieve this minimum requirement. Please contact Armortek for replacement longer screws should this be the case.

Re: Panther Blank Firer
Dear Armortek:
I purchased this unit from Glenn and have one other question. Was this unit a second generation one since I have seen video of one on youtube but does not look like the one I have. Do I need the extra spacer if I'm mounting this in a tiger tank? and what shell size Can I use?
Your time and effort is greatly appreciated.

Re: Panther Blank Firer
Yves,
Thanks for the reply. But this plastic piece sticks out about about 1mm and prevents the barrel from sitting in the housing. I’m not sure if it’s glued in and I really don’t want to force it in unless I get the ok to do so. Did you have to push yours in? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Wael

Hello Weal,
For me it was no problem that the plastic white piece sticks a little bit out of the housing.
My drum turn ok in the housing.
If you are not sure you can use a bit of sand paper and sand it down a bit.
Hope this helps you.
Best regards Yves

Re: Panther Blank Firer
the Teflon is not glued in and can be pushed out as i did on my tiger 1 i then used a fine sand paper wrapped it around the drum and shaped it to seal better its a seal from the drum to the gas port. I commercial found blank ammo here in the us that fits the system. I also made 6 brass shells that could be reused after firing.
