Panzer M4 unboxing and first impressions

Dude I love your no BS approach

The Panzer M4 and Benelli M4 magazine tubes are both 5 round but has anyone noticed the Panzer 5 rd tube is approximately 3/4" of an inch longer overall than the Benelli? the dummy extension tube where it threads onto the magazine is that much shorter. If youre looking to add a +2 you might wanna just go ahead and order a 7 round tube if you dont want your +2 and end cap to extend slightly beyond the barrel

I got one a couple weeks ago. Just FYI, the mag tube extensions for the Benelli do not fit. The replacement 1 piece 7 round tube does fit though.

Ive had mine for a week or so now and I love it. I have ran several different loads out of it and everything has run flawlessly with the soul exception of some cheap #2 and #4 3” magnum waterfowl loads by Monarch. I honestly think it was the shells and not the gun because I noticed the monarch shells were also difficult to load in the magazine tube almost as if they were improperly sized. They fired just fine but wouldn’t always eject properly. Beyond that though all the #6 and #7 steel birdshot loads from Winchester and Federal worked great as well as the cheaper OO buckshot loads by seller bellot. The 1oz high brass slugs by Winchester and 3” magnum 1oz slugs by Remington all ran perfect as well. I intend on upgrading some of the parts on it with real Benelli M4 components in the near future and just put an trijicon RMR on it today. The only complaint I have is the front sight is loose. Not a huge deal I’ll just tighten it down once I get an extremely small wrench for that tiny nut that secures the sight down and use some blue locktite. All in all I’m very happy with it the weapon. It rocks.

Keep an eye on your gas pistons. My toros t4 turkish clone broke today on my first outing. One gas piston busted the barrel lip and damaged the gas piston as well

I ended up getting the Charles Daily 601. So far it's been a 100% Benelli clone. 10 mins with a hair dryer and the mag tube will turn by hand. Only issue is the charging handle won't pull out.

Thanks for the video, I'm picking mine up today. Can this use Benelli parts? Like the handguard etc?

I’ve seen some comments that the sights on this can be jacked. Although that is disappointing an easy solution would be to put an inexpensive red dot on it. Red dots are quicker and easier to use and don’t require a perfectly repeated cheek weld which is helpful under high stress and or quick shooting.

great video man! I purchased mine and will be picking it up from my FFL tomorrow, base on my research the best 7 round tube for this shotgun is from Dave's Metal Works because the Panzer M4 tube is approximately 3/4" of and inch longer than the real Benelli M4. I hope mine have the sites and reel not F up.

Mine came with the front sight white dot facing forward 🥴

Waiting on my sax2 from classic. Hope the carlsons tube extension works all coming in the mail. Must be the 4th turkey made clone m4. Looks like all rebranded sane thing

I enjoyed your review, I'm interested in buying the radikal sax2 which looks the same as the Panzer model.

When I got mine from the ffl, the box must have been dropped because the charging handle was badly damaged. With the rubber charging handle cover you don’t notice it but it was pretty bad. I didn’t pay for the shipping protection from classic so it’s my fault. The extension from carlsons won’t work because of the tube nut isn’t long enough.

Thanks for the video. Has anyone replaced the stock with an aftermarket like the Mesa Tactical Urbino stock yet? I'm curious what needs modified to get it to fit. THANKS!

Thanks for doing the video. Any idea about magazine extension plug on the panzer? It's like a foam plug not metal like true Benelli one. I'm afraid to pull it out and screw it up. Anyone out there yank their's out yet? I've got a +2 extension ordered and I can probably cancel it if it won't work.

I Just got mine in I bought a Briley 7 shot carbon fiber mag tube for it and a +1 extension. hopefully it will work and ill be able to load up 8 rounds in the tube :)

What hand guard is that on the ak pistol ?

My rear sight is canted as well. Annoying but what can ya do?

TY! I have one no probs thusfar.

There's a seller out in New Zealand that's selling the Solun TAC-12 collapsible stock for about $120 shipped to the US that could be a good stand-in for the overpriced as fuck Benelli M4 collapsible stock. It's OOS right now but they're accepting backorders, the lead time will probably be a few months for what it's worth.
