The "Turknelli M3 Super 90" Clone

[u/Alternative_Two475]

Anyone else pick up one of these switch-mode clones of the Benelli M3 Super 90, 12 ga shotgun on discontinued clearance? They are now priced $300 under the past retail price, selling on clearance (with lifetime warranty) from Tactical Imports for just $599 CAD.

I am really quite impressed thus far. By all accounts, the semi-auto mode has proven to be reliable with High Velocity bulk 1 Oz slug rounds as well as 00 Buckshot loads and even 5/8 Oz Birdshot rounds. For less lethal rounds and the like simply switch to Pump-Action Mode with a flick of the spring-loaded collar for manual operation.

I replaced my conventional fixed Buttstock for a Black Diamond brand M4 style telescoping length Buttstock with an adjustable Length of Pull. Much better fit! I also added an extended Bolt Release Lever and Charging Handle along with the factory-optional Picatin̈ny Top Rail. Last but certainly not least was a Mossberg 500 Bayonet Mount from Canadian Safety Source in NS, which clamped on perfectly to the Turknelli Magazine Tube....

This is a LOT of Shotgun for $600. A LOT of Shotgun. I highly recommend it at the current price point. Heck, buy two of them and keep one as a spare.....

I must have lucked out then, as mine runs fine. I hadn't heard of reliability issues...

Tldr:

-hammer drop when safety is engage

-Forearm drag on the reciever

-Front sight leaning on one side

-3x reports of failed trigger assembly

Its important to note that there isnt that much of these units in canada.
