my hero.
I installed my Crom mount (with Haught mod) and a 6.5 MOA RMR I got for cheap. I got it zeroed at 50 Yards with Ranger Low Recoil Slugs and it patterned perfectly at 30 feet and still sub paper plate and dead on at 25 yards. This thing is DEFINITELY my favorite shotgun ever (finally, my old 870 has slipped to second). I actually had a previous version of this shotgun about 10 years ago and a benelli super 90 but this thing is amazing. Not only is it super fast, if feeds everything from fancy Buckshot to Wal Mart garbage gauge.
Be forewarned. I probably should edit this down but I am too lazy tonight. LOL
I enjoyed it and your channel. 100% right about forum discussions. We both hail from a different forum and it eventually did get to the point (for me) that I was like “Why bother? It’s an echo chamber and talking down to people is the norm. We know everything and there’s nothing new worth discussing.” I’ll get off my soapbox and just say I enjoyed your content and humor.
God Bless,

So, here is my 391 Xtreama. I bought it with the intent of doing some waterfowl hunting that I never did, but I have shot a bunch of skeet and sporting clays targets and a handful of birds. But I started doing three gun a year or so ago and started throwing parts at it, and then I started grinding on it, then I drilled holes in it. So this is how you start with a gun you paid $1000 for and make it worth about $500 by adding $600 in accessories and grinding on it for maybe ten hours in order to save fifteen seconds a month:
It is a 28" gun that has:
+6 Nordic Tube
Beretta Bolt Release
Briley Bolt Handle
LPA Sights
Nordic (red) Follower (the factory follower, with a hole in it, did look a lot like the base of a shell)
Briley Cokes: CYL, LM & IM
But the main modification is grinding the loading port, this obviously detracts from the resale value, but I figure that is my wife's problem:
This would be a crappy job if it were professionally done, but I am fairly happy with it for having done it myself. It is asymmetrical because the serial number on the receiver is in the way, but the angle I will be holding it at should not be a big deal, and I am not all that fast at it (yet?...) anyway. The gray dot is where I kept trying to grind out a nick, until I figured out there was are weight reduction voids in the casting, so I drilled it out to make it a little rounder and filled it with JB Weld. All of this is the facilitate the quad/twin (probably just twins for me, short fingers) loading methods that are really, IMO, shenanigans but you gotta do what ya gotta do.
The LPA sights also required drilling three holes in the receiver, but if I ever remove them the gun will still be perfectly functional. I also took advantage of the adjustment in the stock, and I raised it back up to the higher position so now I am in a pretty good spot behind the higher sights.
I drifted my way through three Nordic tubes and tried it with and without the clamp. I think the Extreama is not exactly the same as the 3" guns, but I had a tube that held total 9+1, and this was nice because preloading for division capacity (nine) meant I could fill the tube and when I got to the line I could chamber a round without adding a Barney Bullet. But then I tried a slightly shorter tube that gave me 8+1, because the thing feels so different (I have probably fired 10k through the gun) with the tube. But the very next match the organizers called an audible and suspended my 9+1 limit for that day. Plus one technique is to top off after the beep so you can maybe keep the gun mounted and complete the stage. So now I have the +6 that runs all of the way to the end of the barrel. I also struggled with the clamp, it is heavy way out there, and does pull the tube out of alignment. The first time I used it with the +6 the follow jammed up while I was preloading, and I had to scurry around and get a wrench to take it off before it was my turn. So I moved the clamp farther back, but then it was shifting, so I dabbed a little blue thread locker under it (it was handy, RTV would be a better solution), but I decided to just take it off so I need to clean up the residue.
I have been participating in this thread, sorta like the guy with the metric cruiser bike at the back of the group of his friends on Harleys, but thought I might post some pics. I will get a 1301T someday...

We are proud to introduce the newest additions to the Beretta 1301 Family. We have heard the feedback from our customers and spent the time to determine how to make the 1301 Tactical 922(R) compliant and offer our customers the magazine capacity that they have been requesting for years with a factory 7+1 capacity magazine tube and a new MLok compatible barrel clamp with dual integral QD Sling swivels. The new pistol grip offering with a Mesa Tactical pistol grip stock allows for greater control and easier manipulation at the user level. We are very excited to bring these new offerings to the market,” Erik Stern, Tactical and Pro Shop Product Manager, said.

Totally agree!
The older I get, the less fiddle-fart I want, and the happier I am with products that offer me a turn-key solution.
I’m just not that special.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Very cool young Stern!
