I have a Gen 2 1301. I would have purchased the whole thing from LTT but they weren’t available at the time and I was impatient.
I love the gun and recently purchased the LTT Upgrade Kit:
Kit
I’m really surprised by the weight of the Magpul stock—it seems heavy, and I’m guessing it is considerably heavier than the factory stock. My understanding is that the virtue of the Magpul is the ability to shorten the LOP. Do I have that right? I love the weight and the way the stock gun handles. Compared to my Benelli M1 S90 that the Beretta will be replacing, the stock feels short—and great.
As with the M1, this gun will be used for the occasional coyote hunt, hopefully a shotgun class, hung on a tree for bear duty when (remote) camping, and the long-predicted zombie apocalypse, of course.
I recently read a post from @
TCinVA saying that it’s best to stick with the stock follower. I’d like to plus up the mag tube and another post said that the tube clamps probably aren’t even needed…. It’s too late for me to return the kit, but I might be better off selling the LTT kit to someone here and just buying a tube extension—or am I missing something? What say the shotgun cognoscenti?
Edited to fix typo.
