WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GEN 1, 2, OR 3 BERETTA 1301 FROM LTT?

1. The Forend & Adapter

We are using Magpul Zhukov forend (with MLOK attachment points at the 11 & 2'o'clock positions) with a smooth forend adapter. This adapter is a product enhancement in manufacturing, because it uses a smoothed out machining process versus a step down machine process making the forend smooth and clean.

2. The Stock Adapter

The Stock adapter we use has a Spring Tensioned Bolt Recoil Buffer. The specially designed GG&G Spring Tensioned Bolt Recoil Buffer is very similar to the bolt recoil buffer designed by the Beretta engineers, and is installed in all the factory 1301's to absorb the shock of the bolt under recoil, and stop the bolt from striking the rear of the aluminum receiver that could cause operational damage.

3. The Side Saddle

We are using the Side Saddle from GG&G. A few things to note, this Six Shell Saddle holds the shells VERY snug when you first get it. We recommend inserting and removing shells a few times to 'grease' the slots.

4. What is the difference between a Beretta 1301 Gen 2 and Gen 3 Shotgun? 

The Gen 2 Shotgun has been discontinued and is no longer available. When we made the additions to that model, removing the factory forend left a scuff mark on the barrel that could not be fixed. Additionally, the Gen 2 1301 had a two-piece magazine tube. The Beretta 1301 Gen 3's have a one-piece 7rd solid magazine tube that eliminates the need for a mag tube extension, and comes with a plastic cover for the end of it. Some Gen 3's are available from Beretta with a pistol grip stock. However, most people find it not ergonomically friendly, which is why we do not offer it as part of our solution.

5. What is the LTT 1301 Trigger Job? 

We added the Trigger Job offering to our 1301's beginning in 2023. The Beretta 1301 trigger is great out of the box. However, we found that doing our polish and stonework that we do added value and a noticeable improvement in both weight and smoothness in the trigger pull.
