I don’t have the FIGHTER pad, but based on my measurements, the LOP would be about 11 3/4” with it.

Correct - the Fighter pad was not out a couple years ago when I got my X22 pads but it is now a lower LOP option for the SGA off the factory Magpul pad -
Just a few tips if you go with the Kick Eez pads…
I purchased the thicker version for my SGA stock. I ground down the top and bottom corners of the pad with sand paper to aid in shouldering the gun without snagging on clothing.
The pad also comes out of the box with a glossy finish. I was able to achieve a matte finish by hitting it with a scotchbrite wheel on my Dremel.
Good to know - send some pics of your modded pad - I had heard about the gloss finish as well - I'll be getting a 1/2" all purpose pad ground onto my Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine when I get it (14" LOP with a 1" pad, overkill) as I'll be getting Briley to shorten the stock for more compact LOP, but I don't know of the glossy finish of their all purpose pads I assume it is more matte
Is the Kickeez material more squishy? I only have Limbsavers ground on a few shotguns and they are like a rubber gel type material, nice pads, but the smith at Limbsaver who did installs retired unfortunately, he did beautiful work grinding 4 shotgun pads for me in the past few years.
Here’s a quick shot of my modded pad. You can see the beveled top and bottom corners and the glossiness removed. I think the shine is probably a release compound and would wear away eventually through use.
Yup, those things are pretty awesome.Originally Posted by Pnut
They can be a bit sticky/tacky when first out of the box, but one range session generally solves that.

Hello everyone, it has been a while.
I decided to buy a handguard for the 1301 from MI Industries.
It is sold at opticsplanet.
I don't know if they can ship it from the US, but I will review it when it arrives safely.

I recently bought a mount for my personal production aimpoint T-1 footprint.
It is quite a bit nicer than mounting a dot sight on a 20mm rail.

New LTT 1301 arrived -- hope to zero the 509T later today.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Zeroed my new LTT 1301 earlier today at 25 yards, using Winchester 2.75 Foster slugs, which I find hit very close to Brenneke Classic Magnum slugs. My favorite position for this, is kneeling with the shotgun supported across the seat of an ATV, as it is steady but allows my body to move in recoil. No ATV available, so I used sitting.
I started off using push pull to minimize recoil, but after I got it close I went to pull pull as it gives me a better trigger press. Here were my last three slugs at 25 yards, and no I don't shoot five round groups with slugs. I really dislike shooting slugs carefully from sitting, because the shotgun beats me up. I wanted to check one more shotgun, but decided to leave that for tomorrow!

Ditto on that. When I got my LLT 1301 a few years ago, I took it to the local indoor range, since it had solid tables and stools. After the first round, I decided if I got three in a decent group more/less centered, I would be happy.
Reminded me of a Winchester M59 I bought as a teenager; the 12 ga with the steel-lined, fiberglass-wrapped barrel and aluminum receiver. IIRC, it was 6 - 6.5 lbs. It was a great grouse gun (carry a lot; shoot a little). On doves (shoot a lot), it became less "friendly". Eventually, as a freshman in college, I traded it and some extra scholarship money and bought a Browning Superposed 20 ga. It was - - - still is - - - a nice gun, going strong after 55+ years.
Bring on the 1301 20 ga.
