Anyone have experience with the Panzer Arms M4 semi auto shotgun clones? Carbon copy of Benelli M4 since patents have expired. Price on PSA is pretty dang good, but curious if y'all have used them or not.

Panzer Arms M4 Shotgun PSA

no help on M4 clone
but my panzer bp12 functions as it should every time.

That does speak to general reliability of their brand though! I think I will take a flyer on it. For $449, can't go too wrong with it. Takes all Benelli parts so I can just upgrade if needed. :-)

It's a Turknelli. If it's for anything besides a being range toy I would think twice.

There are lots if torture test videos on the panzer m4 I suggest you watch.

I recall seeing one where it went shot for shot with the benelli

I haven't personally used the Panzer Arms M4, but I've heard decent things about it from my cousin. It's definitely tempting, especially given the Benelli M4's reputation and the fact that the design is now open for clones. Some say the build quality isn't quite on par with the original, but for casual use, it might be more than enough.

I have the panzer m4 clone, not an original benelli. I have an sbe3, and from that experience I would say the build quality is not the same.

I had cycling issues with with the clone using Winchester 2 3/4" 1oz #8 shot. Not sure the dram on the gun powder for that box. I know I needed to clean the shotgun and figure out which power load the gun works with.


For the price was happy with it. I can figure out the reliable load later. My requirement was a range toy.
