r/beretta1301

As the title states this is my first shotgun and while I’ve done my research on a few things to outfit it with, I don’t have much experience behind it besides a couple boxes of slugs at the range. Also haven’t been able to find much in the way of cleaning videos so maybe a few pointers on best spots to keep an eye on during regular maintenance etc. I appreciate any and all help!

Current Build:

GG&G Magpul Zhukov Handguard
GG&G Heatshield
GG&G Match Saver
GG&G Enlarged Charging Handle
GG&G stock adapter
Magpul SGA 590

A clean gun is good. A healthy owner is better. 😂
Beretta 1301 Tactical

Maybe I’ll leave the 1301 stock. I really love the way it looks, feels and shoots just as it is.

Not sure if anyone has posted about this here before but I didn't want to remove my ghost sights or lose cowitness and realized a Holosun AEMS solves that problem perfectly. Hopefully this can help someone else and if its been posted before, my apologies.

Fired about 60-80 rounds and overall very happy I joined the club. The only issues I had was with 2 five cartilage boxes of federal ammo I received from the range that would not cycle correctly but all my other ammo worked. Everything else was great and very happy with my purchase so far.

Saw some other fella do something like this. I filled the engravings with nail polish, using a single coat of white under the colors to help them pop. Cleaned the site with non-acetone polish remover and used simple scotch tape to prevent colors bleeding over each other while doing multiple coats. I used an old plastic membership card to swipe the bulk off immediately after applying and the polish remover on a cloth to gently wipe the rest. Light coat of oil and it's done.

I know, it's corny, but I like it.

Hey guys, i’m new here. 3 weeks ago i purchased a brand new unfired 1301 mod 2 from a fellow in central PA for $1100 an absolute steal! Then recently got all my upgrades for the build and it came together exactly how i envisioned it. Chisel states that not all mlok slots on their 1301 rail can be used so i milled down the mlok hardware for the gripstop and hot button so it would clear the gas system. Super ergonomic set up! The magpul thumb shelf is a very nice touch as well.

Shot the beretta 1301 mod 2 for the first time. Barrel was perfectly smooth prior to shooting 60 slugs...truball 1600 and 1300fps.

This is after cleaning with mops. Then I used a bronze brush after I noticed the barrel appeared contaminated.

What's the deal? This seems absurd after just 60rds.

I found the design for this template on Printables, printed it, and used it to cut velcro for my shotgun cards. It worked great. Thanks to Printables user gbirk if you're on here!

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?
