KT Gun Tube Recoil Distance?

Post by Mark Bennett »

Anyone know how much the gun tube recoils? I'm constructing the gun tube assembly to recoil on my 2009 KT, but can't come up with an accurate guess.

Regards,

Mark

I don't know about the KT but the Tiger 1 88mm recoil distance works out at 93mm, so that should give you a starting point for the KT.

Hello Mark,

in Waffen Revue 110 about the KwK43L/71 is mentioned that the recoil way is
minimum 380mm and maximum is 580mm.
Have fun building, Kind regards
Christian

Thanks Adrian & Christian.

That helps a lot since I was underestimating the travel.

Regards,

Mark
