r/beretta1301

Finally decided to get some Shotguns.

Mounted this 510 that i had sitting in the safe but not sure how i feel about it.. let me see some pics or recommendations you guys have.. thanks

My 1301 tactical currently has the nordic mxt extension, so 7+1. I'm hoping for a solution that allows me to switch to 8+1. I use this gun for some casual 2gun, 3gun matches and would rather be able to quad load 2x instead of 1x quad load plus partials. Appreciate the advice.

(**picture for attention**)

In terms of the mag tube extension, which is easier:

Converting a 1301 tactical (factory 7+1) to a 5rd mag tube by removing the extension.

OR

Converting a 1301 tactical C (factory 5+1 like pictured) to a 7rd mag tube by adding an extension?

If i were to need to transition from 5rd to 7rd, or 7rd to 5rd, which one is more convenient? I had assumed they were essentially the same, but have read otherwise.

Thanks in advance.

I like the green and black more. Need a light and maybe optic. Any recommendations?

Wanted a 1301 for a while but I was still in save mode. Called a good friend (who happens to be well off and has a big heart!) and humbly asked if he would mind talking to his buddy, who owns a LGS, and asked him if he would be willing to help me out with a discount. My friend said, don’t worry about it, go get what you want, I’ll take care of it. I’m still in shock!!

Hi all,

Disclaimer: I'm new to shotguns and new to the finer points of the armourer side of firearms, to so apologies in advance for any wrong terminology.

Literally just picked up a 1301 Mod 2 yesterday and handling it for the first time today, I loaded 2x snap caps after running through the actions about 10 times. First 3-4 times with the clear snap caps everything seemed fine, "spent" shells went across the room when I pulled the bolt back.

On attempt ~5 or so, it is now stuck with a "round" forward in the barrel and. another "round" directly beneath that one and the loader bar beneath the second "round" and the tube empty.

The under few shows the empty tube and the clear+red snap cap above the loader bar. Side few shows with my high-tech markup shows the position of the 2x snap caps (red) as well as the loader bar (blue) and the empty tube (green).

***The bolt will not move at all and neither will the loader bar. The bolt release button has no movement to it at all. It is essentially completely "frozen" as it is.***

The safety button will go on/off, but that does not change any bolt or other movement.

On instinct I took a small flathead screwdriver to see if I could wiggle the underside/second "round" a bit, but then stopped, put everything down, and walked away to consult the wisdom of the hive mind before contacting the local shop or Beretta.

I know I'm a noob....but any advice appreciated on how to:

1. fix this immediate problem
2. Make sure it does not happen again

Thank you

*speaking of manuals, mine did not come with one in the box and the QR code sends me only to Beretta pistols. Huh?

What do you guys think of this knife?

it’s a collaboration between Honey Badger in SA and Beretta. I think the Shotgun choke key at the back was a nice touch

I picked up my first Beretta last week and I love it. Mods will be slow as my allowance isn’t much, but the good news is that I have an Imperium hand guard on the way (Thank you Beretta rebate for chipping in and thanks to my wife for letting me spend the rebate before getting it!).

So far I’ve only installed the LimbSaver butt pad on the factory stock, next will be the Imperium.

What should I save up for next? Note: I really like the look and feel of this 1301’s factory stock, so I don’t know if I’ll upgrade that.

Brownie points will be awarded to those who share their 1301’s, especially if you list out your mods.

Has anyone in the USA ordered parts from Tactical Ordinance based in Canada? I went to order the match saver tonight and the online orders seem to be limited to Canada residents.

Perhaps I need to give them a call to complete the order? Any tips or advice is appreciated.

Hey guys, looking for a 1301. Is this a good deal? The SKU says it’s not LE but the description says fixed choke even though there’s another 1301 time with LE in SKU.

Hi,

I have a 1301 as my self defense weapon and I don’t do a ton of weapon modifications but I wanted a light. Went with stream light and the pressure switch. Mounted to mlok, do you see any issue with mounting the remote switch where I’m holding it here with their adhesive pad? Would you wrap something around the barrel to hold the wire closer?

Thank you,

Have a SGA on my 590 and now the 1301 matches. For me, the grip puts my finger in a much better position to reach the trigger as well as feeling a bit better in the shoulder. I have a couple Kick-EZZ recoil pads coming...people seem to like them.

Install isn't bad. Having a vice is helpful. There are a couple solid videos on YouTube showing step by step.

Tools used: Phillips screwdriver, pliars, 7mm wrench, provided Allen wrench, 13mm deep socket with extension.

Aridus Industries shipped the combo out the 1st business day after I ordered it. Had it two days later. Buying the combo was a nice convenience and saved a few bucks.

I stole the surefire from the 590 since the 1301 is my new hotness. I do like the Viper on the 590 and leaning towards getting the Viper green multi reticle for the 1301.

The SGA comes with spacers to extend the length of pull if required. I'm a fan.
