Tactical Shotgun…Beretta 1301 Tactical

I will be the absolute first one to say that I am indeed NOT shotgun guy. Quite the opposite. Other than the little bit of hunting I’ve done over the years with a shotgun, I’m just not that guy. They always seemed to be too much with little to gain. Capacity limitations, much greater recoil than a rifle as well as such a variety of shells… I just never really went down that road. A couple of years back I got a Charles Daly AR-12 which is basically a 12 gauge shotgun that’s patterned roughly after an AR-15. It take detachable mags. I wasn’t sure if I was going to care for it, but it’s turned out to be one fun shotgun! Fast forward to this year, I had been looking heavily at adding a purpose use tactical shotgun to my collection. Not that the AR-12 isn’t already, but it’s truly not meant for hard use. I wanted something with a proven track record. Enter Beretta and their tactical shotguns. They had the 1301 Tactical for a while and recently introduced a cheaper tactical shotgun, the Ultima A300 Patrol. I went back and forth on both of these, but ended up going with the Beretta 1301 Tactical from Brownells. I opted for the only version they had in stock at the time. This version comes with the Mesa Tactical stock and pistol grip which is what all tactical shotguns should have in my opinion.

First impressions of the Beretta 1301 Tactical after it had arrived to my FFL was just how lightweight it was. I do own a few shotguns in total, a Remington Pre-Model 11, an 1187 Sportsman and that Charles Daly AR-12. All of these, especially the Remingtons seem much heftier than the newly acquired Beretta tactical blaster. Knowing what I know about recoil, weight is your friend, but not in a tactical environment when you’re carrying your firearm and needing to wield it in different directions. The Beretta 1301 Tactical is quite handy with it’s 18.5” barrel. My first trip to the range to see how it runs was quite the success too. I anticipated much more perceived recoil, but was pleasantly surprised when shooting game loads and a couple different types of defensive 00 buckshot loads from Hornady and Winchester. One of the other attributes that Beretta touts that makes this shotgun stand on top of the heap of other tactical shotguns is their blink recoil system. It’s a gas operated recoil system with a rotating bolt and Beretta’s claim of 33% faster than other semi auto shotguns seems to hold water in my experience thus far. It’s a fast shooting shotgun!

So even though I’m just now touching my toes into the water of the tactical shotgun world, the Beretta 1301 Tactical has me very excited so far! Glad it happened to come in stock over at Brownells just in time for me to snatch it up and see what this thing is all about. I’ve already started adding a few things like a sling, red dot and some shell holders. Really looking forward to where this will take me.

Old Shotgun Revival

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a pretty significant adventure in the gunsmithing world. A friend of mine brought me an old pump 12 gauge shotgun that he had recently acquired. This particular shotgun was sitting in a corner, collecting rust and cobwebs. Apparently the previous owner had some problems with it and attempted to try and repair it, but failed miserably. The shotgun looked like it would never function again and was missing some pretty significant parts, mainly the magazine tube assembly. I agreed and said I would do what I could do in order to try and bring this old shotgun back to it's former glory.

I started researching what particular type of shotgun this was. It’s a cheap box store shotgun made by Stevens/Savage. It’s what’s called a Model 67 E series. These shotguns have a classic look to them, but are not highly valuable. After some hunting around, I was able to source a used magazine tube and a new magazine spring and follower. Once I was able to source the parts needed, I proceeded to use my Brownells MagnaTip set to properly tear down the shotgun. It was obvious base on the damage to the screws that someone had attempted to repair the shotgun sometime in the past. The MagnaTip set from Brownells has seemingly every size bit to minimize damage to those old screws. One item that stuck out to me was the spring for the slide lock seemed mangled. It actually fell out while disassembling the receiver. It took much time researching that part, but I found the proper profile and re-installed it and got the action working once again.

The other huge task was trying to remove the rust on the shotgun to reveal the nice bluing underneath. Luckily there didn’t seem to be much evidence of pitting. My method to remove rust from a blued surface is to take 0000 bronze wool saturated with oil or penetrating oil. I prefer to use Kroil from Brownells whenever possible. Kroil does a great job at penetrating the best in my experience. It took quite a bit of time, but I was able to revive the bluing from all of the metal parts. It was hard to believe how nice this old shotgun was starting to look after spending a good amount of time on it.

Once all back together, it was time for some function testing followed by a good range test. I have some 12gauge training dummies, so I cycled those through the action and once I was satisfied with the function and safety in a closed environment, it was time for a good range test and live fire test. I had on hand a 25shot box of Fiocchi clay loads and it shot them perfectly! The only issue I had was on a couple of rounds the new shell hung up a tad on the loading gate. Most likely just picky with those particular shells. What a beautiful old shotgun! Was hard to believe it had come so far… already looking to see if I could find another old project like this to jump into.
