Just got my Panzer EG 240 and the safety is stuck in fire position. Have not shot the gun yet. Panzer USA is all of a sudden permanently Closed. WTF? Need help with this trigger and safety switch

Who do you call for warrantee now that Panzer is Permanently closed. Just got the gun yesterday from my FFL and the safety switch is stuck in FIRE position will not budge. I need help

 

A gunsmith

 

Well, I voted for Kamala and I would have at least tried to help you out if you could not return the gun, which is the best option. We try to be friendly to each other around here, because we all like shotguns and politics is not friendly.

Although scary at first, working on a trigger group, once you do one it's not so bad.

The first thing, remove the trigger group. It looks like removing one pin will do it.

The schematic is here:

https://panzerarmsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/PANZER-EG200-user-manual.pdf

Lower the hammer, holding it with your palm. Don't let the hammer snap down when not in the gun! Try the safety button in BOTH positions.. hammer up and hammer down. Use a penetrating oil, gentle taps, see if there is corrosion of the safety pin back and forth

Look! The safety is a simple little bar that slides back and forth with a spring loaded detent thingy... spray that detent with PB blaster, wait, then wiggle the detent up and down with a screwdriver blade. If that is jammed in place, it could be your problem.

Taking things apart past that increases the stress level! But if you go for it, I work inside a big trash bag, so that if spring-loaded parts go flying, they are contained in the bag.

Your decision to return to the seller is probably the best option unless you're comfortable home gunsmithing.

As you learned, a warranty only lasts as long as the importer.

 

A potentially silly question . . . but is the hammer cocked or uncocked?

 

Yep, it sounds like you are on your own. I found this info online. It's about a year old. Don't know if it's good, but you might try them.

Dan's Sporting Goods in Apollo, PA handles warranty work for Panzer Arms, not sure if they can help 724-727-2648

 

Either or tried everything without taking it apart since it's still new in the box, so I decided to send it back from where I bought it for the refund. Since Panzer Arms USA is now permanently closed. Have found emails of people can't get a hold of customer service and can't get parts. Not gonna waste my time with Panzer shutting down. Was a mistake to purchase this item.

 

Probably the right choice.

 

Panzer USA is Permanently Closed!!

 

Kind of the risk someone runs with the recent various flavors of Turkish guns. Now if you go CZ, Winchester, Stoeger or whatever more mainline brand name backed Turkish gun you stand a better chance of them being around in a few years.

 

And it's my 2nd I have the M4 as well, which works great so far, plus I can get Benelli parts for that!

 

Very surprising closure since those Panzers are a very popular knockoff of the Benelli M4

 

I have that M4 as well... I can at least get Benelli parts for that one. This eg240 Mod2 is new so I am not gonna deal with the hassle down the road.

 

I would spray some lube on it and use a small nylon mallet and see if I could gently persuade the safety to move.

 

Not trying to sound dumb, and didn’t see the question answered, but some guns won’t go on safe if they aren’t cocked.

 

Yeah I had tried that and it still wouldn't budge. Something's got it. Jammed really hard. However, I have just returned the item so I no longer have to deal with that. Thank you

 

Label printed and returned. No need to worry about it anymore!!

I'm done buying anymore Panzers

 

TicTok is the forum you’re looking for. They love people who post their failures.

 

Lesson learned: Don't buy knockoff junk without doing your research.

Mine was too but a swift smack with a punch solved it. Had to be rough with it a few times to get it to wear in and work.

 

I know I am getting to the party a little late but this post was finally brought to our attention for the political comments.
I am amazed at the lack of member support in this regard. This is our site and ours alone to keep within the rules.

I wouldn’t worry about it, the OP cried about it, made a scene and wasn’t interested in anyone’s advice.. Seems like you did a bit more homework and at least posted that the company is still open.. 👍
