“Turknelli” Turkish Benelli M4 Clones ?

[Hambo]

From my hunting-based IG profile. Somewhat relevant as this was a Stoeger 3000 (Benelli M2 clone), but still, you gotta figure there's some carry-over. This was a brand-new gun on its first outing. It went through 100rds of sporting clays and then failed on the second covey of quail. Not my gun, belonged to a family friend.

That's not cool. If they'd just cut the threads too deep it should have broken off. That looks like the material is too soft.

They should make a SPAS-12 clone next for the Jurassic Park fanbois. Guys like me who would shoot it once then stare at it.

So I did a thing today. Been wanting to play around with something different so I ordered one of these:

Not a 1014 clone but Turkish made.

Is this the same as the Turkchester?

Looks more like a Turkington to me. 🤣 The Turkchester is this Savage 320, I think:https://www.savagearms.com/content?p...ummary&s=19496

Those Turks really get around. Winchester says the SXP is made in Turkey, and it does kind of look like the Savage. Are they the same? Quien sabe? I was thinking a 1014 clone would be cool, even if sixty percent of the time, it worked all the time. Now I'm getting nostalgic for the not so long ago days when shotguns were made by whoever stamped their name on them.

Off to the C&R pages of GB...

So do these ship with the pistol grip stock or the non-pg stock? All the T4s I saw for sale during a quick search were non-pg. Probably not a deal breaker if they don’t but not really interested in paying a steep premium for a pg either.

I really need to make a backup “good AR” my next purchase but one of these or a Stoeger M3KFS is really calling to me.

Go to gunbroker. Search manufacturers. Select Four Peaks and/or SDS. You’ll find a bunch of 1014 clone PG options. I just did a quick search and saw a bunch from those two manufacturers.

A guy I know’s Turknelli M4 clone destructed after about 600 rounds. I forget the specific issue, but I believe it was something out of spec with the bolt causing receiver/rail damage. It’s a shame — a decent clone would satisfy my wants-a-M1014-but-doesn’t-wanna-pay-$2500 itch.

He also had to modify the receiver extension to fit a Mesa stock, FWIW.

Looks like another cheap way to spend a whole lot of money.
