Beretta 1301 Tactical

If you don’t mind my asking which tube did you choose, and do you use a barrel clamp?

They have a chart:


They have one that just peeks out past a 21" Comp with an extended choke. I had one, but cannot find it and think I gave it to a friend. Or maybe I have soooo much crap I do have it... somewhere...


Now I keep it setup for three gun with a goofy long thing on it (don't hate the playa...), but they are easy to switch. I find it helps to drop a 22 cleaning rod down through the hole in the cap and through the spring.

I do not use a clamp for many of the reasons mentioned here, mainly I had a problem kinking the transition area and stalling the follower, but also it is easier to swap the tubes. And we stand around more than we shoot, so it is easy to check.

ETA: I meant to mention Shooters Connection used to sell separate tubes without the cap and spring, making it easier, actually just cheaper, to have a couple variations, but it doesn't look like they list them anymore.
ETA: Looks like +3 is what you want for the 21" Comp:

I have a Nordic on a 1301T. It's ok, I glued it together so the three pieces can't come apart. I'd prefer a single piece extension if I was doing it over. Lancer makes carbon fiber tubes for the Comp. https://lancer-systems.com/product/l...tension-tubes/

It has a 21 inch vent ribbed barrel. Defensive/varmit control on property. While the extended tube might not be needed, I want to look at the options.

I have the same gun, I use the Nordic system. I have both +3 and a +4 tubes for it with a coupler and have not had any issues with them. The +3 sits just shy of flush with the barrel, the +4 it just a bit longer and coupleing them together gives me 12 in the tube for 3 gun stuff.

Thank you. I’ll probably go with the +3.

I misspoke. It’s just past flush with the +3…that’s what’s on it in the pic.

That’s fine.

Damn that looks tough with the vent rib!

I guess not a bad idea if glued together although I never had any issues with it coming apart - I install it like a Remington extension, magazine nut first, then the extension into it - I do use the barrel clamp on my Nordic kit for structural integrity only (same with my Remington) but I don't use the pic rail or QD (use the M-Lok on my Zhukov for that)

Please elaborate on your thinking on this.
