Anyone know of a dealer that has one in stock ? Looking for Black, but at this point.......any finish is fine.

Cabelas has FDE in stock.

Firearms outlet doesn't have stock

Sounds like Stoeger has been stocking up big box stores at the expense of the smaller shops.

Dominion Outdoors is a site sponsor, cheaper, and allegedly in stock: https://www.dominionoutdoors.ca/beretta-1301-tactical-semi-auto-12ga-3-185-barrel.html

Ellwood Epps is a site sponsor and has a used "Very Good" one for $1700 https://ellwoodepps.com/beretta-1301-tactical-tan.html

I don't believe those are Mod 2's

Been thinking of buying one as well but I'm not a fan of the peanut butter colour

Agreed, I believe I'll hold out for a Black one.

Why so hung up on a Mod2?
If you really want that you can buy the trigger group, since in Canada that's the only difference.

We don't get the MLor forend either, though you can have that too for an extra cost.

Reliable in Vancouver has a like new, second hand one for a good price. Comes with a dot too. I'm sure it'll sell fast

It looks like Cabela's has the black 1301 in stock, but the mag capacity is 4+1

Why would the Black take less shells than the FDE ?

Not sure, maybe black is one of those 'scary assault rifle colours' so they had to reduce it

Put yourself on notify lists. I did with like 15 different shops and finally snagged one from Al flahertys

Now, what brought a tear to my eye...Choke Tubes. If yours was like mine it came with a flush mount Cylinder Bore Optima HP silver tube.
I mounted a flashlight which also sits flush so I decided I wanted a slight extension and went shopping at Stoeger for Beretta branded choke tubes. I ended up with a DLC 7/8" extended (also knurled) Cylinder Bore, and a matching Modified.
*Interestingly Beretta states that slugs shouldn't be shot through it's Modified choke tube and the only restriction a slug should be shot through is an Improved Cylinder. This caused me to research different slugs and types of slugs and their advertised outer diameter vs. the advertised restriction on an Optima HP Modified, and suffice to say, I don't believe Beretta. All "should" be fine. Find out tomorrow.

The choke tubes are like $150 per (taxes and shipping), but are the best of the best. I use neverseize as thread grease btw.
