Panzer Arms blasted its way into SHOT Show 2024 with a slew of new Turkish-made 12 gauges, from a souped-up tactical lever action to an M4 race gun that’s the first of its kind.

M4 Updates


In a first for the M4 shotgun platform, Panzer is soon adding to its lineup with a competition model of its M4 clone. This gun is also well-suited to turkey hunting, with its extended choke, front and rear fiber-optic sights, 26-inch ported barrel, match saver for holding an extra shell, ambidextrous controls, and top Pic rail for mounting optics. The loading port is extra large for smooth quad loading.

Panzer plans to price this gun at a bargain $650 to $700, according to a representative at SHOT Show. In a nod to reliability, SHOT Show attendees put over 1,500 rounds through the demo M4 Speed at range day without a single malfunction.

There’s also a new version of the M4 clone with Turkish walnut stocks, which can also be purchased separately to update the furniture on your original Benelli M4. Both guns feature a new enlarged and textured reversible charging handle that Panzer will be including on all its shotguns from now on.
 

SCR-12

The SCR-12 looks a lot like its pseudo-namesake, the FN SCAR.


The magazine-fed SCR-12 tactical shotgun closely resembles an FN SCAR. It has an ambidextrous charging handle, a gas regulation button on the forearm, and muzzle brake, along with a full-length Pic rail and flip-up sights.

The SCR-12 is available now and runs about $349, another screaming deal from Panzer.
 

Drum Mag

Panzer showed off the SCR-12 at its SHOT Show booth with the company’s new aluminum 20-round 12-gauge drum magazine. It’s heavy, but quite durable and features a tension-adjustable spring. It will fit pretty much any Turkish-made shotgun on the market, not just Panzer firearms, and is priced just over $100.
 

Lever-Action Shotgun

Last but not least, a new tactical lever-action 12 gauge looks ready to take on any challenge from home defense to blasting varmints. This magazine-fed scattergun wears an aluminum handguard loaded with M-LOK slots, an extra-large bottom loading port, an ejection button for unloading unused shells, a Pic rail on top of the receiver for mounting optics, and a single QD sling attachment point.
