The aridus magpul hand guard works or some use the gg&g light mount that fit on the mag tube. Others use the Nordic barrel clamp. |

On the older models the comp also had chokes where the others were fixed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Other than putting on the full Aridus Zhukov handguard thing, what are the best options for mounting a light? The only results I'm getting is a goofy Steiner thing that replaces the mag tube cap and this: https://www.gggaz.com/images/detailed/4/Beretta-1301-Light-Mount.jpg Is a design like that a good idea? Anyone have any better suggestions? I’ve been looking at light options for about a month. Has anyone found a way to use the m-lok mount on the OEM barrel clamp? Arisaka suggested a couple of their m-lok mounts. I know they’re plastic and plastic ain’t steel but I also know that plastic can be strong enough. The GGG is starting to look like a viable option. Has anyone tried one yet? Thanks, |

Handguard, CROM, Match saver, and ESSTAC shot cards showed up yesterday. Everything went on great, love the quality of the Aridus products, even if they are missed some QC. Going to play around with some grip tape to see what works better on the handguard. I can see the handguard getting slick very easily.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have one of the 'pre production' 1301 Tacticals they pumped out back in July. Don't like pistol grips (on shotguns) so put a standard Beretta stock on it. Features I like; bolt release, the weight, and build quality is what you expect. Ran it against my FN SLP. The 1301 ran great, but the SLP remains my favorite. Benelli makes a nice gun but the M4 never really did it for me. I'll probably keep the 1301 but a better rifle stock would be a good upgrade. I've got Magpul furniture on my 590 SBS, and really like it, but am having a hard time thinking about doing that to a Beretta. Edit: other upgrade will be a competition lifter whenever those come back in stock. I've shot the 1301 a few years ago. It cycled everything from birdshot, to standard buck shot, to tactical loads. I wanted one badly but having to get my shoulder and bicep rebuilt made me reluctant about shotguns. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Has anyone opened up the loading port on their 1301 tactical? I know the competition models are opened up some already, along with having the longer receiver. I’ve been thinking about opening up mine, I’m not planning on crazy 3 gun opened up, but it could certainly use some work. Any tips? Just removing some metal doesn’t seem too bad, well within my capacity. I’d have to pick up some tools for this for sure, I think a number of small files and dremel bits. Any tips on getting it really smoothed and polished. Good files to use? If you want to do it yourself, remove metal slowly by hand with files and then do final polish with a dremel. Using a dremel to remove lots of material has the potential to go bad quickly. |

It's a good shotgun but it left me a little less confident after it fte in a local 3-gun match using cheap birdshot. I sent it back thinking that something was wrong but it wasn't. Using better quality, higher velocity shells, it works fine. I tried a 1301 at a demo. It ate everything. Of course, Beretta supplied the shotgun and the shells. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The 18" w/ a rifle stock. Really great shotgun, but needs heavier/faster shot for practice. Found that 1350FPS, 1 1/4 oz, 7.5 shot will cycle. Anything lighter or slower gets finicky, at least with mine. Heard similar from other SLP owners. The 1301 ate everything I threw at it. Age and bad shoulders come for all of us. Stepping down to smaller gauges or easier energy management guns can help to a point. Have a couple of older friends who no longer shoot sporting clays with us because of bad shoulders.. I tried a 1301 at a demo. It ate everything. Of course, Beretta supplied the shotgun and the shells. You can get a light piston for a Browning Gold or a Winchester SX3 and put it in your SLP. Same part. Basically the same gun. |
