    Shameless plug… I’d like to throw my offering into the ring, it keeps the weight of the handle at the OEM weight, 12g, while giving a much bigger handle for operating.  Ti handle and stainless steel tang to prevent wear from the detent.  (https://rxarms.com/product/benelli-m4-titanium-steel-tactical-charging-handle/)

    the TTI handle weighs 28 grams, although I do admit they have a nice design, at the sacrifice of weight.  The GG&G 3/4” steel weighs around the same.

    this year I’ll be offering my design in 4140 hardened steel also.  Estimated to be around 17-18 grams, and same locking design (which is similar to TTI locking).  Probably in June 2022 I will have stock

    This looks like exactly what I want.  I just need to sell the first one I got from you.  It's well made, no doubt about that, but it's just so stubby.

    Metal has been ordered.  Don't want to get too optimistic on pricing as I am still waiting on the cost of making the spring retaining ring.  But is looking like will be less than $150 USD at the moment which was my goal.  But I wanted your guys' opinion on something.  Was thinking about laser engraving the stock positions on the flat portion.  Rough idea attached.

    Yay or Nay?

    with that many different positions some indicator is probably necessary.  looks good.  i wasn't planning on getting one, but i'm reconsidering now.

    If it proves reliable, that's a pretty nice score. I hope it functions well.

    I have 4 buddies that have bought the clones, and I've had the real deal for 6 years or so.  I shot one of the Panzers side by side with my M4 and the Panzer had a distinct stronger recoil than my M4 with the same ammo.  He's already fed about 100 rounds of 00 buck and it hasn't missed a beat.

  4. I dont think you're going to have much luck of finding someone who has that stock wanting to get rid of it.  I know I wouldn't unless I was selling the gun, and then it would go with it.  Maybe I'm wrong and I hope I am.

  5. clean setup.  you have me reconsidering changing out the trigger and trigger guard on mine.  i'm thinking a shit-kicker setup and a competition setup.

  6. I read through all 8 pages of the ar15 thread.  Those guys are loving their clones. They're quickly figuring out what parts work and what alternatives to Benelli parts there are available.

    I watched part of the video that was posted here, and what I saw was a guy who ran 5 rounds of high brass through his clone for break in, then tried to run low brass target loads through it and it wasn't cycling correctly.  Maybe there's more to it, but if these things need a break in with high brass rounds, I'm fairly certain it means more than 5 of them.  There's one guy claiming to have 500 rounds of high brass through his without a single malfunction. It'll be interesting to see if he can cycle some target loads now.

    Whoever determined that these Turkish clones are POS's seemingly did it off of a sample of one that had a questionable break in from some random "expert" from the internet, but what do I know? I'm just a guy on the internet.

  7. So in other news, one of my buddies got out with his Panzer M4.  He ran 50 rounds of 00buck and it ran flawlessly and smoothly.  He's impressed and loves it already.  He plans to do another 50 of 00buck and then start trying some lighter stuff just to ensure it's broken and give it the best chance of reliable cycling.  He's really happy so far.

    I just got my Panzer M4. Looks good. The stock is too long for me.

    I was wondering if anyone has tried the Mesa Urbino Stock on the Panzer.

    I talked to Mesa Tactical tech support. Nice guys there..

    He said he was not sure about the fit. If the Panzer is an exact clone, it should work. 

     

    You will have to, at a minimum, change out the buffer tube to a Benelli one.  Panzer attaches the stock completely differently from the m4

  9. Two of my buddy's have these.  I've gotten hands on with one of them.  Many benelli parts are compatible.  For $550 it's a hell of a deal, the fit and finish isn't as good as benelli's but it's damn close.
