When they make a lefty version I'll own one.  Until then I'll suffer with my Benelli.

I want one of these...but I'm struggling to find an actual purpose that I'd use it for.

Now my A400...I try to shoot trap weekly at the local club. Next year I think I'm buying a nicer gun for clays.

There is the problem. Its obviously top tier and amazing but whats the purpose unless you are SWAT or something.

Love my 1301.

Only thing I hate is bumping that big ass button and having a shell load on top of the gate locking up the gun.

Fuck!

It’s not that, it happens when topping off the mag on a closed bolt. if you accidentally hit the square button on the back of the loading gate and it dumps a shell out of the tube under the closed bolt above the loading gate. You can’t load anymore shells until you shoot and it loads that round or you pull the charging handle and chamber the next round

Yes, the 1301 comp pro model has a new design on the lifter to make it better, they make it for the tactical model too. This new part is not included in either the gen 1 or gen2 tactical

3” pro style lifter

I'm a huge M4 fan and love mine, but... the facts are the M4 is the better go-to-war or go-to-the-apocalypse shotgun, the 1301 is better at pretty much every conceivable civilian or even police use.

what do you need "lefty" on it?  the safety? cast-on?  

you can swap out some shims to set you up with cast-on so that the stock fits better.

the safety can be reversed.


the only thing left is the loading port/charging handle and I actually prefer it to be right-side charging, makes port-loading a breeze

Yeah it looks like a factory (or domestically sourced) extension not the Nordic extension that people typically attach as aftermarket.

Eurooptic is calling this “new” on their site.

Was holding out for an ODG Gen 2 but this seems to offer a few improvements and avoid the need for the Nordic + ext.  Anyone know if the hardware at that front of the tube is metal and whether it has a QD socket?

Looks like the same thing I bought a few weeks ago at AU.  Factory 7 round tube and funky clamp.

I replace the funky plastic clamp with a Nordic mount that I modified.  Factory tube cover is larger diameter than Nordic.

Did it come with a factory full length mag tube?  This appears to be a new model.  I've honestly been confused about their current offerings.

I would probably rather have your version with the option of an extension or not.

Of course they release a new one- I picked a gen 2 two weeks ago.

Honestly for the price I’d rather buy a gen 2 and add what I want though.

922r compliance so they can sell a factory mag extension version to the public.

Yes, the shell release button will in fact release a shell when you hit it.

In 5 years of running a 1301 and having them run through classes I've never seen anyone hit the shell release hard enough unintentionally to cause it to dump a shell on the lifter.
