Hi, I'm new here and ready to pull the trigger on a 1301 tactical. I've owned a few Benellis in the past but I'm returning to the fold after 15 years of spending my hobby money elsewhere
I'm kind of torn between the black and the marine finish. I really like the idea of the increased durability and ease of maintenance. Any marine finish owners want to give their opinions? If it was a true Cerakote or NP3 finish it would not even be a question, but I am amazed at how little info there is on the "Aqua-Tech" coating.
My second question concerns the Nordic extension. I'm surprised no one has made a full length tube to replace the factory one. This would eliminate a few extra parts plus make 922r easier to manage. Is there some technical issue I'm missing?
