Would like to pick up a 1301 but I can't seem to find any in stock if someone could help out that'd be great
 
Id get a comp i think if I did it again. Put a +2" choke and make it dual purpose.

18.5" I now need an a400 xtreme plus
 
I emailed stoeger and this was their response.


Hello ###x,

Thank you for your interest in the Beretta 1301 family of products.

Inventory of the Beretta 1301 MOD 2 continues to be delivered into the market on a weekly basis.

That said, you should see an increase in availability over the next couple of months.

All the best.

If it's any consolation, I buy nearly all my accessories off you guys. BTW, the guys at Fishing World in Hamilton do a great job selling and recommending your product.
 
Update, with some information you all may want to know!

So it only took from July 6th when I purchased from Cabela's, to today to receive it. Quick in my mind (Though, S&J were quicker shipping me a mag extension and QD clamp ;))

I get to Cabela's and had heard of some potential QC issues and that I should check things like the machining on the mag-tube and the chrome lining of the barrel. I do so, all looks good. Even the boxes still have corners etc. It has the buttstock spacers (which you'll need unless you're 5'2" and double stack your level 4 plates to the front of your carrier), 1 choke tube installed (mod), a really nice choke wrench, a cheap plastic trigger guard, a magazine plug (birds) and all the accompanying paperwork, AS WELL AS A NICE BERETTA HARD CASE!?

It's when I get it home things take a turn to the weird.

Like I said, I have a mag tube extension and barrel clamp to install, as well as tear-down, lube, deep inspection...remove the factory magazine spring retainer etc. I'm shouldering, dry firing, trying to determine if I need the buttstock spacers, and it's here, in my caveman brain and instinctive "pullrack" (oneword) pump action muscle memory that something feels off...loose...I move to the factory magazine cap and sure enough, its loose allowing a little movement on the front handguard; and then I notice...this handguard has no m-lok slots!! This is a Mod 1 handguard on a Mod 2 shotgun!! WTF!?

I call Cabela's, they quickly look at another one they have in their store and sure as shi t, that one also has no m-lok, i.e. Mod 1. Is someone along the way swapping Mod 1 handguards and taking the Mod 2 guards!? The guy at Cabela's thinks it's possible, and suggests if something like that occured, it must have been between Stoeger Canada and them...there is a depot in Winnipeg. He gives me the number for a guy (manager) at Stoeger. I call and lo and behold, he actually picks up the phone! I tell him the story, and this is what he tells me. I indeed do have a Beretta 1301 Mod 2, with the proper handguard.

He informs me that the guns he sells to Cabela's and elsewhere are Italian Beretta's, not American made and that the handguard that i've seen on the Mod2's aren't actually Beretta handguards...least not Italian ones. Those are American and a partnership with Mesa Tactical.
He assured me that my handguards have the Mod 2 texture and is indeed Beretta Mod 2 guard.

While I never had any intention of attaching a sling to the handguard, I am glad I bought and S&J QD clamp, 'cause the "Canadian" Beretta (Italian made), NEEDS it.

Also, the rear sling is advertised as QD, not on my shotgun, it is a traditional mount and an incorporated bolt, if you will, that fastens to an internal plastic structure in the butt stock.

I'll get her dirty this weekend and report back.

Well the issues,really is with the retailer.
They don't put put the correct info.
When the mod 2 hit the market in canada, moT retilera juat copied and pasted from beretta usa .

Cabelas is aamerican Company so llikely copied there US profile and info.

The mod 2 handguard is made in the USA along with other part to meet the US 922R Compliance.
Stoager Canada could easily offer the guns with the mod 2 handguard but they don't care.
Same wirh pinning the mag or providing a Canadian complient mag tube.
Stoager Canada is the HK of the shotgun world.
It's great they make great product, but the don't give a ****
