    Anyone have any experience with a certain product that works best, or a cleaning guideline they adhere to?
    Kroil, and a bronze brush on a cut-off rod mounted in a hand drill. Be careful. This creates a hazmat situation.

    I know the IC choke that comes with the 1301 gives good patterns with the Federal FC 00-but shooting Rio and some other brands of 00 the patterns at 10 yards are not that impressive-has anyone tried any other constrictions that have helped any-I hate to buy several different chokes,was hoping someone had tried a different constriction and if it improved the patterns of the non FC 00 buck,thanks.

    I wasn’t aware anyone cleaned the barrel on their 1301?

    I know you’re being facetious, but I have, several times in only maybe 100-150 rds of slug and FC buck. The first time I did it, I was unpleasantly surprised by all the bits of plastic that the brass brush scraped loose. I guess the FliteControl wadding melts onto the barrel a bit.
    My inner OCD doesn't like that.

    I have gotten better with my training/competition gun - the LTT Elite only gets cleaned every 6-700 rds or so. And the ARs only when I’m putting them away for awhile and don’t foresee shooting them for a couple of months.

    All this is significant progress from the “don’t let the sun set on a dirty gun” mindset that I grew up with.

    Still seems like black 1301T gen2 with chokes are unobtanium.

    Actually, I do have a 12 gauge bore snake but that is the limit of my barrel cleaning.

    I needed to zero my newest 1301 today with slugs. Where Brenneke slugs make my eyes water zeroing a 14 inch Benelli, they still bark enough in the 1301 that I decided to get a rough zero with low recoil Fiocchi slugs. After doing that I perfected my zero with the Brenneke Classic magnum slugs and got this at 25 yards.

    I next decided to see where the Fiocchi slugs hit at the same distance, and was pleasantly surprised to see the result of both types of slugs to be this.

    How awesome that I can use Fiocchi for training without messing with my Brenneke zero.

    @GJM, I found the same thing with Brenneke SF short mag slugs and Fed Truball low recoil slugs.

    @Clusterfrack and just to pile on Federal Low-Recoil 8 pellet hits to the same zero as the low-recoil TruBalls in my gun at 25 yards. Makes life with this shotgun a lot less complicated.
