  1. Are you sure you have the handle inserted all the way in? I thought I had an issue with mine, but the handle wasn't in all the way.
  2. I have a Turknelli that hasn't had a problem with the low recoil 13200 shells, but their ejection is weak. I suggest the standard velocity 12700 ammo. That said, my best patterns have been with a cylinder choke. My Remington 870 and 1100 with 20" barrels with a cylinder choke and the LE 12700 ammo shoot much better patterns than my Turknelli with a cylinder or Imp. cyl. choke. You might want to try Hornady Critical Defense 00 buckshot and compare it to the Federal LE ammo.
  3. This is my experience with the Panzer Arms M4. I took it down and removed all of the factory oil and properly lubed it. I had to ally heat to the mag tube extension to break the white thread locking compound. My first time at the range I tried a bulk Federal target load with #8 shot. Cycling was hit and miss. The fired hull ejected but the bolt didn't pick up another shell with the bolt remaining 2/3 open. I also tried some reloaded game ammo with #5 shot and some Federal LE low recoil buckshot. I had no failures to load or eject. I took it home and cleaned it. I bought a Dave's Metal Works seven shot magazine. I used the OEM magazine spring because the one that came with the mag tube was too long. I also installed a Benelli "standard" stock. The OEM pistol grip stock made the gun kick like a mule due to poor design. My second time at the range I zeroed the sights with the Fed LE buckshot and shot some slugs. No failures to feed or eject. I had to use heat to remove the gas plugs. I installed Benelli O-rings after cleaning the gas system. My third trip to the range I zeroed it with Hornady Critical Defense buckshot. I had to problems with feeding or ejection. Yesterday I shot Federal 2 3/4" magnum buckshot, Federal LE Low recoil buckshot, and slugs trying different chokes. I got the best results overall with a skeet choke tube. I plan to install an extended carrier/lifter. Do I believe it equal to a Benelli M4? No. Do I trust it? Yes. If I plan to use Federal LE buckshot, I will get some full power shells. The Federal buckshot is better IMHO but the Hornady will work. My Remington 870 and 1100 with 20" barrels with cylinder Remchokes shoot the Federal LE buckshot far tighter patterns than the M4. YMMV
