Chieftain gun elevation
With the current worm drive for the gun elevation I'm having problem getting it up (the gun I mean),no matter how careful I adjusted the gear it struggles with the gun fully extended,there's a sideway wobble as it moves up and down I hope Armortek will do an upgrade kit for the Chieftain with the new actuator system.

I found the same and found the drive screw off centre and slightly bent. I replaced it with 10mm screw thread locked into place. Works a lot better. My only gripe now is when the barrel recoils as there is a slight rotation in the action. The kit overall has been a great build.

Hello,
In my stug i use a counterweight ( 1,688 kg ) to make the barrel goes up and down better.
Best regards Yves
