An Official Journal Of The NRA | Solid Values: MAC 1014 & MAC 2

While some decry anything other than an original, the reality is that well-made copies of popular, proven firearms are often just as capable but significantly less costly. Among the best are two models from SDS Arms’ MAC brand.

MAC 1014 Shotgun Review: Diamond in the Rough or Junk Benelli Clone?

This Turkish Benelli M4 clone looks good, but how well will it hold up to 500 rounds of mix-and-match 12 gauge ammo? You might be surprised.

Anybody have one of these? I am curious how they hold up after a high round count. I have handled several Turkish semi auto pistols in the gunshop, and they seem like a good value.

Opening a can of worms I see.

@HansGruber has a Turkinelli. He likes it.

Ha ha. Just looking for some actual experience as the interweb is full of "experts" that have never even shot one, let alone owned one!

I’m sure Hans will chime in when he sees it. From what I gather these are all clones. Meaning parts from an actual M4 will fit in them. Logically speaking there’s no reason why they wouldn’t function reliably. If memory serves me, Hans has said after a short break in period his has been reliable.

So if you’re the kinda guy that could be happy with a Turkish knock off this is probably a good way to get an M4 without spending $2500. I’m not one of those guys but everything ain’t for everybody.

What gas operation system does it have? Wouldn't think they could use the ergo?

Patent has expired. They are clones of the Benelli.

"Turknelli" is a term (they're not all clones) that applies to the grab bag of M4 near-clones, knock-offs, look-a-likes that have come out the last few years. (Patents expired on the original Benelli M4). The SDS version seems to be the closest to a real clone than previous versions imported by others.

Compared to the lesser Turknelli's that have questionable quality, this iteration by SDS (an American company) appears to be put together to a higher standard.

The links above to the articles indicate the Ergo system was copied.

I’ve got an AKSA copy.

I’ve got no complaints; it’s run perfectly reliably for me with everything from light trap loads to magnum slugs & buck.

Turkenelli M4gery

So…I’ve been toying with getting a Benelli M4 for a while, but…not sure if it would offer anything over my M1S90 Tactical…and $1600+ is a bit steep of a learning curve. So when my dealer had one of the Turkish made M4 clones on the shelf for a third of the price…I figured, why not. (Cue...

I ran a shotgun course at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot years ago with a borrowed M4. First time I had fired the flatform and it impressed me. I was faster than the two SWAT Cops that were in my squad so I told myself I needed to get one but never got around to it.

It may be an American company but this shotgun is made in Turkey.
