While I have no hands on experience with them (and frankly no desire), I’ve heard from a few folks who do that they’re pretty much junk.

 See, I've heard the other way, that once they are broken in they run pretty well.....

  Interesting.

I gave those a hard look, but decided on the Benelli M4 clone.  The day I decided to jump on it (Turkish M4 clone), it was sold out.

I've heard second hand that the initial AR type shotguns were problematic, but that the newer ones are fine after you put a few boxes through them.  This is just what I've read online.  I don't personally know anyone that has one.

My cousin has one that he acquired over the summer. I don’t remember the name or brand but it’s a sold feeling and handling firearm for sure and he hasn’t had a single issue with it as of yet regardless of what type of ammo he was firing.

The fit and finish is really nice but it’s a bit to heavy for my personal taste.

This is the Panzer AR-12, pre panic they could be found for under $450.00. My cousin bought it from a local gun show for $500.00 if I remember correctly. Before they all went extinct due to the current panic they were $650.00 plus.

Just tilt your head to the side.  :lol:

I might be tempted t sell my Browning A5 3"mag and get one of those. I also have the "extension" tube that allows for 11? shells instead of 5. I looked online and they are selling for +- 1,500.00. It is TEMPTING.

I do not have one. I have seen many at the range. Over the last couple years I have heard nothing but good about them. I remember when they first came out Classic had some at a good price. Some folks had some feed problems. But that was early on and I have not heard anything bad since then. Of course that could have just been a learning curve for new users. :shrug:

Most likely a dislike for Guns from a place like Turkey.
Ran in to it with the tube fed 12 Ga. Flo bought. 
People that didn't own one didn't like it.
I got a Turkey 1911 that works fine. 
There were some that didn't function years back though.

I was looking at a couple AR-12 models and some seem to have more plastic than others. 

Sure hope prices come down.
Well I guess my new **** stirrin paddle don't work . I got a like . WTF 😈

Flo just received her EXPERT Mid range card from the NRA.

One thing is for sure the one I posted has very little plastic on it other then the normal items like the stock, grip and sights from what I remember. I could be wrong about the sights I am just assuming they are something like the poly magpul back up's.
