    This.
    The evolution to Benellis Inertia system was never done better, but Remington's Versamax is a close second.

      I could not help myself, so I did. Handled it in the store and it is now in jail for 10 days.

      It is very similar to the Charles Daly version except different color and stock. I like its stock more than the CD clone. It felt as comfortable as the original Benelli. The mag tube looks the same as the CD version as well, thus the entire tube needs to be replaced from the receiver. So it may not be able to use standard Benelli mag tubes and will need aftermarket tube. If it uses CD type, then Dave Metalwerk has them.

          M4 is gas. M2 is inertia.

            Always wanted one but didn't want to pay for it. Ended up working out a trade for this one and have been very happy with it

              I have a Dickinson model A212, not a M4 clone but a semiauto. Has an older single port piston over mag tube design. Build quality is fairly good and it runs pretty well. Bought it as a beater for cheap and has been good so far with around 400-500 out of it.

                Finally got the chance to handle the Dickinson XXA4. It's made by Huglu, which is the same manufacturer who makes the CZ shotguns. They're known to be one of the better Turkish manufacturers so it should be good to go. The bolt lock up was smooth, unlike a lot of inertia guns which require it to slam forward.

                  Panzer is supposed to be selling the collapso stock for much cheaper than Benelli.

                    Dangit, now I want one of these, even though I don't like shotguns or Benellis.

                      I love my 121M1, too bad Benelli sucks *** for parts support.

                        I certainly don't want a Benelli. For 500 bucks, I do want one of these.

                          M4 owners you can now get a collapso stock for less than $800.

                          The M4 Tactical Adjustable Telescopic Stock for Benelli M4 clone shotguns is adjustable for three different positions: fully collapsed, mid position and fully extended. The installation of the M4 Tactical Adjustable Collapsible stock does not require tools and can be accomplished in just a few minutes if you are familiar with your Benelli M4 clone's takedown. A dramatic improvement to overall length and length of pull over the original fixed stock of the Benelli M4. Everything needed is included in the box with this collapsible stock kit. The M4 Tactical Adjustable Collapsible stock kit comes with 1 pistol grip. 1 pistol grip nut, and 1 buttstock. The Benelli M4 and most clones already have the different stock positions machined into the buffer tube, ready for installation of the stock. A good upgrade for those looking for the adjustable option or who just want the cool original design. Important - Before purchase, you should verify that your shotgun has the appropriate stock position grooves machined into the buffer tube. You will need to remove the factory stock to inspect the buffer tube prior to purchase. While the vast majority of Benelli M4 clones will have the appropriate machining, some early clones may incorporate a smooth tube that will not function with the stock due to the fact that there are no locking points. If your buffer tube is smooth without locking notches, a replacement buffer/recoil assembly can be purchased seperately HERE! Please note that during installation, there will be play in the fit of the pistol grip until the trigger housing is installed into the shotgun. This is normal, and the fit will be tightened during the installation of the trigger housing.




                          Forty two dollars and fitty cents.

                          Oh, and if you don't have a Benelli M4 because you think spending 2 grand on a friggin' shotgun is absurd, the same vendor has the Panzer M4 for 450 bucks.

                          Panzer Arms M4:  This phenomenal M4 semi-automatic shotgun is quickly becoming legendary for rugged reliability you can count on in the most adverse circumstances and conditions. The M4 Tactical shotgun is light, durable, fast-handling, and an exact copy of the renowned name brand M4 with the famous A.R.G.O Piston-driven semi-auto action. This action is one of the best ever developed and cycles everything from target loads to the heaviest 3-inch magnums. These models come with the Standard Fixed Stock but under it is the pre-installed 3 Position Notched Buffer/Recoil Tube Assembly if you want to add an adjustable stock in the future. These M4s now come with ambidextrous controls to aid in easier manipulation.  Panzer has included a Mil-spec Picatinny Barrel clamp for any lights or lasers you may want to add. A rail section runs along the top of the receiver and is perfect for optics mounting. If you do not wish to mount an optic, ghost ring sights come standard. The robust tactical design and legendary reliability of the action make this a must-have shotgun.

                            just picked up my second M4, paid less than market value. I sold my first M4, with adjustable stock and various other upgrades years ago. Since then I have owned 870, 1187, (390, 3901), 1201p 1301, super 90 H&K and as of yesterday my second M4. All will malfunction at some pint, either operator error or equipment induced, both will get you from point A to point B, top tier will do it at a higher percentage of the time.

                              Picked up the M4 clone from Tuner's. It definitely uses the same mag tube as the Charles Daly M4 clone (thus normal M4 mag tube will not fit). Finish is good and dry functions fine. The grip and stock angle is no different than Benelli M4. Consider the cost, pretty happy with it.

                                The only real clone that I know of is the Remington verse max. That is a very good gun.
