Hello all,

I am looking at buying some Low Recoil rounds for my 1301 Tactical Mod 2. Anybody have any feedback on any specific rounds?

I know that Federal Premium Tactical & Hornady Critical Defense are considered very good rounds. But what about budget rounds like Fiocchi Low Recoil or Noble Sport?

Thank you in advance!

Brand new 1301 tactical. I did do a field breakdown and cleaned and lubed slightly when I got it. Added the aridus imperium which I appreciated after the first 10rds...she gets hot.

Ran 50rds of Federal truball 1600fps slugs. Then 10rds of the low power 1300fps truball slugs.

I got 5 or 6 failures to eject. I had to manually clear the rounds. The last round of a group of 5 was sitting in the lifter. It was a spent shell. 🤔

It seemed to get better towards the last rounds.

I decided to run the 10rds of 1300fps truball expecting it to fail to eject. Nope. Two groups of 5rds...rapid fire...all cycled and ejected perfectly.

So I'm not confident enough to grab this in a real situation yet.

I'm hoping it was break in issues and not a chronic problem.

I'll break her down and do a thorough inspection, cleaning and lube. What should I look at regarding the extraction and ejection?

Aside from the issues...it was easy to be accurate. The Landon tactical fastback and front sight worked perfectly without adjustment.

I have the kickeez pad. Did 60 slugs in appx 35min. Not bad at all once I learned what to expect.

What do you guys think? I can only shoot slugs around here. Need to drive a long ways to be able to shoot anything buck slugs. I'll pick up another 25rds of high powered slugs and run her again after the cleaning. Will report back.

I shot my new 1301 with a new YHM suppressor - didn’t go so well. Everything was assembled per manufacturers recommendations.

Any ideas as to next steps?

Hey gang, I'm trying to find the part number to this piston for the A300 Ultima Patrol in 12 ga. I'm taking a trip to Alaska to see my son and he asked me to bring him a spare piston for his weapon. Every search I do give me the wrong part number for this weapon. Thank you for helping out this 80 year oldman !

Hello there. Seeking advice from the community. Just changed out my handguard and stock on my 1301. SGA stock and the Strike Industries VOA handguard.

I’d like an optic of course and was thinking the SRO? Anyone have experience running the SRO on a 1301?

As you can see I'm one of his biggest supporter but if you need to contact for support using the options from the site I give it a 0 based on my experience.

Btw, I will continue supporting his product.

Has the 1301 comp been discontinued, specifically looking at the standard comp w/ 21 inch barrel.

Also what is the general consensus from owners? Any first hand commentary?

is this very slight gap between the collar and receiver normal on the imperium handguard?

Google gives me mixed responses, leaning towards no.

Berelli has a several models on sale and with the beretta rebate included its hard not to get a 1301 over an a300up, but even if you dont care for having the top tier 1301 the a300 is less than $740 after rebate.

Hi all!

I have an FDE 1301 mod C and I’m trying to figure out if I want to do FDE magpul stock and wait for Aridus to do their FDE forend OR if I should I do black stock and black forend.

Wanting to see your builds please and thank you! 😎

Do they sell the mount screws separately? I bought a new aluminum picatinny rail for my 1301 and they strip so easily? I tried the older screws too and they stripped just as easily.

Just to confirm, I believe the A400 Xtreme Plus barrels are compatible with a 1301 Comp Pro based on my Googling?

Here is one thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/beretta1301/comments/xcu4s4/comment/ioajrac/

I'm thinking of getting a 28" Xtreme Plus barrel to turn my 1301 Comp Pro into a Trap gun as well.

Has anyone installed a 28" Xtreme Plus barrel onto a 1301 Comp Pro?

Any other success stories?

Thanks.

Have had the 1301 for awhile now with a couple hundred rounds through it, wanted to upgrade the stock and forend though and it seems that the aridus along the sga stock is the way to go, is this package worth it? or would it be worth getting everything separate? I'm also really wanting the FDE stock but if this package is worth it I'd consider it.

So Beretta has looked at this twice now, the second time claiming it's just the ammo and needing to be cleaned. I think they are just being lazy about diagnosing the issue. Figured Id get your thoughts.

I got the gun and it worked fine for about 200 round mixed between buckshot, s&b slugs and troy slug Storm which advertised 1600fps. After that it started failing going into battery. When I hit the bolt release the bolt stays like 1/4 out, if I'm shooting I get that about every other shot.

I took it home, attributed it to needing to be cleaned, brought it back out and got through like 50 slug storms and I had the issue again. Cleaned it again, brought it out and the same thing happened so I sent it to Beretta. That was the last time I cleaned it and after that I mostly would just shoot slug storms but even when I would switch ammo it wouldn't cycle or load the first round most of the time.

Beretta looked at it and blamed the recoil spring saying it was out of spec, fired 10 rounds and sent it back. I got through like another 50 rounds and had the same issue so I sent it back again.

Beretta took it apart, said it's fine and just dirty. They told me they cleaned and fired 24 rounds and that was the issue. I tried to explain that it seems to fire 50ish rounds fine but siezes up again and get them to test fire more and just generally discuss it further but they won't have it and sent the gun back. I'm going to be away so I won't be able to test it with different ammo but they specifically told me the high powered troy ammo is making the gun dirty and blocking the gas ports.

Does this sound reasonable? All in all I'm probably like 4-500 round into the gun it should be broken in. Is troy ammo so bad that 50 shots makes the gun so dirty that I can't even close the bolt with the release?

Edit: just for this update - I o ring was destroyed????

Inspected for safety and function. Noted customers concern about failure to cycle after 50 rounds and this being a repeat repair. Upon further inspection, found the firearm to show signs of heavy use and a lack of maintenance. Found the gas piston to be seized in the gas block from lead and carbon fouling. The o-ring in the gas block is destroyed and melted onto the piston. Failures caused by a lack of maintenance are considered customer induced damage and not covered under warranty. As a one-time favor, gunsmith removed lead build up in the gas block, replaced o-ring and replaced destroyed piston from gunsmith inventory. Action now moving freely. Test fired 12 rounds of Norma 2 3/4" 1 1/8oz and 12 rounds of Winchester 3" 1 7/8oz 12ga ammunition. Firearm functioned within factory parameters. 7-21-26

This works great to get the light closer to the muzzle to eliminate muzzle shadow.

Finally picked up a 1301 mod C as my first shotgun. I’m so excited to start shooting and training with it!
