Does anyone know if the Beretta 1301 Pro Comp and A400 Xtreme Plus Unico receivers are the same?
They are both 3.5" receivers (note the 1301 Pro Comp only has a 3" barrel) and many of the parts seem to be interchangeable so I am guessing they are the same receiver. I also found the following:
The Competition receiver is based on the longer A400 Xtreme (designed for 3.5" shells),[10] as a result it features a longer loading port to better facilitate reloading. However, only 3" shells are allowed in the Competition, as the barrel was only chambered for 3" shells. A400 Xtreme barrels chambered in 3.5" are compatible with the 1301 Competition receiver, but the receiver itself was not proofed to 3.5" shells' pressure.
