A300 Ultima Patrol

[mmc45414]

I think it is standard for Beretta, just they might not include all of the spacers with the Tactical or Patrol. My Extreama came with spacers, and I think my Competition did also.

I had to use different screws as the ones that came with the stock pad were too short.

I did go down to the basement and confirmed my 1301C came with a kit with two of the spacers and longer screws, but could not find any part numbers on them. I am pretty sure these are all the same for all their synthetic stocks.

So when will the parts for this gun start hitting the shelves? I REALLY want that hand guard for my 1301!

Yes. Sign me up for one as well!

You shouldn't notice the difference in barrel lengths. The overall size of the guns are pretty much exactly the same, the chamber sits in the 1301 different than the A300's, and that effects how the barrel length gets measured by ATF. We wanted to match the 1301, hence the 19.1".

Beretta has 2 butpad profiles: field and sporting. The sporting is a bit taller than the field, and all tac guns use the field profile. All those spacers will fit; it's a shared part on A300/A350/1301T/Patrol.

Also glad to see the drop and cast adjustment remains:

This is Page 40 of the new Beretta A300 manual. Pretty cool and subtle evidence Beretta wants to take the tactical shotgun market.

That is cool to see.

Im super digging this new shotgun. I love my 1301 but I wish it had a smoother, contoured loading port like these A300s will.

Would anyone care to comment on how to choose between a 1301 or the new A300?

1301 uses the Blink gas system. Personal experience has shown it eats pretty much anything including powder puff bulk pack target loads, and yes it does cycle very quickly.

A300 does not use Blink. I don't own one so I don't know how well it does handling light loads. Otherwise, it incorporates very good features that weren't on the 1301, such as a QD cup in the stock, enlarged loading port, and MLOK factory handguards. Also looks to be a few hundred dollars cheaper.

Honestly I think it might be a wash. The A300 is more ready out of the box and cheaper too. I already have a 1301 and am happy with it. The extreme reliability with soft loads is the primary reason I bought it. What I really need is the A300 MLOK factory handguard to be compatible and available for sale
