I have the Langdon upgrade of the GenII 1301 (needed just for the goofy Italian bolt release, lol). I have a box car of TAP #00buck so it is what I use but I still have a bunch of Fed #4buck. Flite Control is the hotness in #1buck. Runs the orange box slugs just fine.
All shotguns need a way to carry ammo on the weapon, a light and a sling.
I like that it was built by someone who knew what he was doing. I am personally inclined to trust semi-custom guns built by those BTDT rather than some numbnuts rolling his gun through the Brownell's catalog.
Likes: much easier to load than the standard 1301 (loading is the most important operational skill in shotguns, well, after taking off safety). If you like shotguns, it is all about loading and forearms. I like that the Magpul stock provides nice plane of reference for my shooting hand and thumb rests on the correct side without trouble. Even with my Charlie Brown head the stock gets me right on the sights.
Dislikes: It is heavy. I do not trust the extended mag tube but no problems. Have to admit it is not 1987 anymore. I do not like the clamp on the barrel but no shift so far. I do not need the silly stock adjustments (unlike the guys in the gun shop, "I'm kinda a big man", no, Cledus, you're just fat) as I keep it as short as possible but the Magpul stock does not hurt anything.
Date? No, just when the 1301 came out they choked a bunch. Beretta thus released GenII. What date that was, I do not know.I see there are multiple variants/gens of the 1301. There appearantly was potential for a jam during loading with the early models, (operator error?) that they've since remedied.
Do ya have any info on when this was fixed or which variant/gen to avoid this issue?
Thanks
At the price point the Stoeger is legit. More of a gamer gun. I like mineWaiting for TFBs poverty shotgun test.
Watched the 1301 vid.
Dunno if a Stoeger 3000 worth a try.
Can't find a good 870 or 1100 mag to pimp out.
My Stoeger broke somewhere inside. I got as far as tearing it down and now it has been sitting on a table in the basement for 2 years. Told a friend he could have it if he could figure out which part is missing recently.At the price point the Stoeger is legit. More of a gamer gun. I like mine
That’s very true lolDunno who has a 1301 in stock to handle.
Hell, it's darn near impossible to find one on the interwebs and when I do, it's some website I've never heard of, so it's back to pretending my Turkish, Rural King autoloader is a 1301.Dunno who has a 1301 in stock to handle.
Is that like getting to third base and then marrying the thing?Preference is to handle the item and if I like it, purchase THAT item.
That's so 2019.Preference is to handle the item and if I like it, purchase THAT item.
Why not call Ernie and see: 1. if he knows where to get one, 2. he may have one to sell you and upgrade it.Hell, it's darn near impossible to find one on the interwebs and when I do, it's some website I've never heard of, so it's back to pretending my Turkish, Rural King autoloader is a 1301.
