I've worked on a Charles Daly 601 DPS and a Toros Copolla T4. To say that both guns (as I received them) were assembled poorly is a kind understatement. I found the same problems you covered in this video in both guns, plus a few more. I did have to do a complete strip-down (including removing the butt stock and recoil spring tube) in order to remove all of the chips, grinding dust, and burrs that were everywhere. I also found that the top recoil pad screw on the Charles Daly was completely stripped and not holding anything, and the stock bolt nut on the Toros was cross threaded. Bottom line: If you want these guns to run properly, and not self-destruct from damage caused by filings and crud left in the guns, you best figure on a complete tare-down and reassembly before you ever take shot #1.

Great video, my turkenelli is currently on its way. Thanks for taking the time to go into so much detail.

Should emphasize that you need to disassemble the gas pistons and clean them of oil and they MUST be put together dry with absolutely no lubricant of any kind. Do this and it will likely run flawless on any ammo.... oil in there mixes with gas, gums up, and that is why people have issues with lower velocity rounds... hot burning gasses do not mix well with any lubricant.

9:44 they are called M4 screws. Metric 4mm. Normal pitch for M4 scews is 0,7mm.

Thank You, kind Sir. This is my newest toy and first shotgun, and i realized that sometimes firing pin don't hit it. I mean, 100 shots is maximum i `did and had 3-4 "jams" and once i got situation that it fires after 3rd time. Im from Poland, people on forum's told me to clean it and oil it, then check and eventually guarantee, but it seems that its a good product and i found only one person who had such problem as me. So after finding Your's video how to clean "before shooting my Belli M4 clone" I must say it, thank You again!!

Thank you sooomuch! Your info opens up a whole new dimension to these shotguns. I have to get that torque screwdriver.

Use less loctite, keep it out of fhe shoulder area of the screws, and use less torque as you've lubricated surfaces with loctite.

30 seconds in and I’ve already thumbs up the video

I will be doing this with my new Charles Daly m4 before I even fire a round. excellent video.

U only need to put the locktite on the screws for the love of god don’t fill the threaded holes up like he did!!!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the video from Russia. I own a tac12, pity I saw it only now when one screw is already missing having cut off the carving in the hole.

Sorry but you might read the loctite instructions before possibly permanantly locking down the rail and causing future screw damage from using the wrong product. Use purple/ low strength/ not blue per product manufacturer for machine screws. Also for proper cleaning if the mag tube it should also be removed from the receiver by unscrewing it. Same for the recoil tube and spring. Removal is the proper way to clean and lube.

How I break mine in fast and it has worked at least for both shotguns from two different manufactures. One from Panzer and one from MAC. I stripped both down and cleaned and re-oiled everything, racked it 500 times, and kept the spring under tension for a couple days. Ran the MAC 1014 with 2 boxes of low brass for trap shooting the very first time and it's ran flawless. Everything ejected without issues. Though these low brass were around 1200-1300 fps. So I'm not sure if that made a huge difference. I would like to try out some lower fps like the 1150 just to see if they run without ejection issues. Anyways I'm very happy with the guns and for the price you can't beat them.

JUST BROUGHT ONE HOME. Unscrewed the magazine tube, and the entire barrel assembly popped apart. I guess it's supposed to do that, although the big ring on the barrel passed over the magazine tube just fine like it was. everything looked spotless, even the gas pistons. Maybe their QC has improved; selling a bunch of shitty shotguns in the North American market right before Christmas surely would tank your sales in the new year. STILL looking for a way to disassemble the stock to put the new one it came with on. you'd THINK someone would have a video, but this guy here has the ONLY Panzer Arms M4 video can find.

Way too much loctite lol...use the loctite gel sticks for the screws alone. Way less mess and waste. You get a thumbs up regardless.

A lot of the Turkish clones people say the springs are stiffer than OEM. CZ Berretta ect..

Thank you! Very good and thorough video.

Great info, thank you for sharing.

Wow it’s dual piston just like the M4

Clones belong in Star Wars movies ! 😂

Wow! Essentially disassembly and reassembly of the shotgun. How does the Turkish import warranty compare to the Benelli shotgun warranty?

man im so disappointed the benelli tube extension i got from carlsons is too long for the turkenelli

I would have cleaned the brake cleaner residue off first.

The Return!

My bolt would jam to the rear of the receiver when shooting high power loads. The spring would no longer send the bolt home. This happened to my Charles Daily twice and both times I sent it back to the Charles Daily for repairs. Can some tell me what went wrong and how was it repaired? Did the receiver wrap from the high fps rounds? Thanks

Your clone shoots more reliable than my real m4!

What are the correct size rounds to use for this shotgun? The dealer sold me 2 3/4.Excellent video by the way!

How's it been going haven't seen much of the channel lately hope life is good

Very helpful. Thank you. What rifle stand are using?

My trigger group tongue isn’t loading the shells into the chamber! I put some oil on the spring that hold it but didn’t fix it! What should i do

Have a Charles Daly 601 dps and ran my first slugs through it and only ran 7 before I started having failures to eject and feeding issues and help?

Where can I get some of those gloved hands u talked about never seen them for sale

Always handle your firearm as if it were loaded, Alec.

How do I spell turkenelli ? great video, thank you for sharing.

Anyone owns a Sulun TAC 12? If so, why do they have two small extra gas ports that most other clones don't? Thanks

I have a Canuck operator and it seems that the mag tube seems made differently. I cant seem to be able to remove the spring like you showed. The Ring stopper seems deeper and cant unscrew the "tube" extender" as its not really extended. Anyone else had that problem?

wearing gloved hands?

You are using the channel locks backwards.

Seems like the Turkish shotguns aren't really that well made is some cases they use 2 manufacturers technology in 1 shotgun

Who uses brake cleaner on their guns?!?!? That’s what they make GUN cleaner for!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
