My 1301 arrived. Looks just like a Gen 2, but with no adjustable choke. I was relieved to see the front sight was canted, indicating consistency.
Installed a CROM and T1, and just need to zero it with Brenneke slugs.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I really wish that black gen 2 with chokes would start showing up for sale.
I want one, but have trouble finding what street price on a standard (non LTT) even is. I can't justify the peice when I don't know the cost AND can't find them. Or the up purchase cost to LTT. And the UPC listed for the new gen 2 black guns (from the big 1301 thread) really isnt listed anywhere.
After missing yet another Arms Unlimited restock that sold out in just an hour or two, I gave in and just went with the Langdon preorder. Only 3 months to go . . .

It's been several months since I last ran the numbers, but when they were initially released the LTT guns came out to about $15 more than buying the base gun and all the components separately. When you factor in shipping costs for all the various pieces, the LTT gun came out significantly ahead, price-wise.

LGS had a LE with extension and was out for retail ...
UPS ground was on the long side of the quoted wait time and AU took a bit of time to ship, but after 13 days I finally have my shotgun. I removed the magazine spring retainer so the gun comfortably holds five shells (was hit or miss with different brands), installed the CROM and an Aimpoint, and threw some Velcro on the receiver. I hope to be able to take it to the range Friday.
