I was not blessed with the gift of journalistic gab so I'll spare y'all the attempt.
I purchased a Peacemaker clone from Standard Manufacturing a couple months ago..... beautiful firearm and it shoots as good as it looks. Not here to talk about that though.
On their website they also advertise the Toros Coppola T4. A claimed 100% clone of the Benelli M4....on sale for $599. Yes sir, I'll try one of those.
For comparison I have a couple other Benelli shotguns so I know what they're supposed to look like.
Packaging was terrible. Not sure how it wasn't damaged. Finish is matte black but not so perfectly applied. A couple light drips and a streak one side of the receiver. Not bad but not Benelli, but dare I say "acceptable" for what it is. Before I even took delivery I had ordered a full length mag tube, spring, follower and a US made hammer for 922r compliance. All parts fit without a hammer or file.
Today I shot it. Didn't like S&B 12 pellet OO buck. It would fire and eject but wouldn't feed. Damn.
Switching to Remington OO and now we're talking. Ran 25 without even thinking about jamming. 1 1/8oz #7.5 shot, ran like a champ. I even ran a tube of 1oz #8....no issues.
I'd like to feed it another box of domestically produced 00 buck and then it will be put in the rotation.
I've read some great things and some not so great about the Turkish M4 clones. Seems like this one is made right.
