Panzer AR12 Breakdown - What the manual doesn't tell you

When we went to clean Adam's new Panzer AR-12 we found that the manual could've been a little better in a couple spots. The biggest issue was in removing the charging handle which we cover in this video. I hope this helps y'all out! Happy cleaning..

    Love my panzer arms AR12. Just brought it out to my buddy's range, everyone that shot it instantly fell in love with it!! Thanks for the video, definitely more in depth than the owners manual for sure.

    I just purchased my Panzer AR-12 and it is a lot of fun. Good quality and accurate. If you want a semi-auto 12 gauge, you can't go wrong with this.

    @@outlawgt3045 jamming up is the difference between shit ammo and quality ammo....same reason some Hipoints have issues...is people are cheap...run crap ammo then find necessary to blame the weapon....never use reloads or cast loads in any semi auto....one time firing and done. Reloads lose pressure and cause weak cycling. If you use quality ammo with good pressures....jamming and feeding should never be an issue. Tweaking the mags is also a last resort thing....people should store a mag loaded, tap it before inserting it into a closed action vs opened....this helps how a shell rides up into the chamber. Most likely never a feed ramp issue. This is what inexperienced shooters presume. Just like every gun likes different ammo...it doesn't work out that all ammo cycles good in like weapons...

    THANK YOU for posting this!! You all are the ONLY video showing the breakdown of this shotgun at the moment. If you can, please expand on the procedure with a detailed tabletop disassembly (and then another reassembly video!). Keep the videos of this awesome shotgun coming! There just isn't enough practical information about it available at the moment!--- HAPPY SHOOTING!

    LOL! Thank you!! When my buddy bought it I looked for a breakdown video and couldn't find one so I figured I'd slap one together. We were following the instructions and that issue with the charging handle in the instructions threw us for a loop! I'm hoping to find time to edit the reassembly video today and your suggestion of a more detailed tabletop disassembly is a good one! I'll have to find the time to knock one out. Thanks again for the props and the subscription! Happy shooting to you as well!!

    Good to hear on the performance with the Federal loads. No on the 10 round mag - there's a LOT of conflicting info out there on the different 10 round mags that will/won't work. We're planning on trying some out soon. If you happen to beat us to the punch, let us know what you got and your results. I know there are a lot of folks out there asking the same question.

    We didn't throw any clays but I wouldn't see why it would be an issue from a performance standpoint. That being said, you'll want to check with your local laws. A lot of bird regulations (in most states I've lived in) limit your round quantity to three. This firearm could potentially get you in trouble if you're hunting in a state with that type of regulation.

I didnt really know what I was buying. It was the only "AR12" they had in the store, thought it would function the same as a real one. The real AR12 is about 100 bucks cheaper than what I paid for the panzer crap. Idk what I was thinking when I got this shotgun. 🤣 gonna trade it in for a real one.
