Greetings everyone. Been a long time lurker and have gotten some really good information by just reading and listening. Well I am at a point I want to move forward with a mag feed shotgun for mostly 3 gun. I looked and held all offerings a\I could find and the local gun shows and local gun stores. So I am not looking to spend a lot, this is just a toy and I am not looking to compete at anything but local events at this moment. I have no issues tweaking and even making my own parts ( I work for a machine shop and have access to about any machine I would need)
So two models that stand out for just pricing alone are the Lynx and the panzer AR-12
- the lynx: seems to get good reviews but I am just not an AK guy. Never owned one. I have nothing against them just never owned one. I have shot several though, so I am not totally unfamiliar. It seems there is a good amount of aftermarket that would be usable from Saigas and similar models
- the panzer ( GEN 3 model) I see some reviews and so far they have been positive ( not looking at the pro model only standard ar12) . After breaking in period I see and read they function fine with walmart specials. Now the standard model is a polymer lower / stock., and I am actually totally fine with that, and truth be told for my needs I do not see a need for the all aluminum . If I was competing in a championship and shooting sever times a week I could justify the pro ( or a typhoon) GEN 3
My question really is about the panzer, even though I have looked and held them ( an I like the feel) I do not see anything on here about them . I am wondering are they just too new, unknown, or just to inexpensive for most people to even look at ? Is there an big problem I am just not seeing ?
any and all helpful comments appreciated
Regards
Charles
