Well shit. Good for FN. I wish him the best at his new job. Seems like mistake for Beretta to not retain him.
My understanding is sometimes moving around is what you have to do to move up / promote in the industry.
FIFY
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
My bank account hates you all. Picked up a 21” 1301 comp today, the rib height is perfect for my cheek to eye distance and it’s still surprisingly compact. I hope to get out and shoot some skeet with it Friday afternoon. I’m not sure when I’ll make it to the range to put some slugs and buck shot through it.
I want to know how this works out. I see that as working well for me if it handles slugs well. I’d add a red dot and two round extension, maybe a flashlight and call it good. Plus it would work for turkeys……
It's been a while, everyone.
The hunting season has started in Japan and I have shot ducks and deer this year.
Until the hunting season, I have been adjusting my Beretta 1301.
This is my hunting gun for this year.
I put a grip on the M-lok handguard so that I can shoot rifle. The dot sight is a holosun.
The Beretta 1301's magazine cap fits the 27mm socket perfectly.
This will probably allow me to control the torque after overhaul.
I did a pattern test with my own #00. Choke is full and distance is 20M.
Lastly, I have a question for you all. If anyone knows the thread pitch of the mount for the Beretta 1301 Tactical, I am considering diverting the KE ARMS T1 mount for the 1301comp as it has been discontinued.
It is a docter mount for the 1301comp that was originally made in Japan.
After a trip to the skeet range and a half a day in the quail woods (first quail hunt ever) I’m digging it. I shot pretty poorly at skeet, but with no formal training and only ever having shot some hand thrown birds close to twenty years ago I can’t blame the equipment too much.
I shot about 60% on the live birds with my best hit being a crosser going full speed left to right at about 30 yards (of course that was after I missed the first bird in that pair and it went behind some trees. The light weight and shorter barrel were a joy to carry in the woods when port arms was the only safe direction due to dogs and a small child in the field.
I’m thinking that an extended mag tube (with magazine block for hunting) will add some beneficial foward weight, because as the guys who know say, that light gun is easy to not swing-through as proven by my general habit of shooting behind critters.
It handled the light trap loads I was shooting great with zero malfunctions and a noticeable increase in action speed over my old 1100.
I don't know the thread pitch but the hole pattern or spacing on the Tactical and the Comp are different and they are not interchangeable.It's been a while, everyone.

Recently got a new 1301T Enhanced version and in the process of installing some GG&G sling loops I got a couple interesting surprises!
The biggest deal is that the magazine extension "tube" is actually a sleeve that slides down over a longer magazine:
So maybe the compliance approach is installing a US sourced magazine tube that doesn't include an extension?... Maybe it is imported without a magazine at all, so it does not have a capacity greater than five when it hits the shore? Just speculating, but just putting out what I learned. Here is a view without the fore end:
Not sure how this makes me feel... Since I decided to use this for three gun I had planned to switch to a +3 tube, but a typical extension would not work. You could actually use a +1 tube, but it would require cutting the end off of the sleeve. Then the sleeve would no longer be a nut, but it needs to be captured to keep the fore end in place. For now I am going to shoot it the way it is, being down one round from allowable division capacity is not what is gonna keep me from winning.
And when I took the stock off I found the drop/cast plate was cast the wrong way for a right handed shooter, needs to be DX and it was set to SX:
This is no big deal, I had no issue with it being wrong, but I have not shot it much, and now it is right and better.
Still undecided on the sling loops, I might just not be used to it yet.
