TortugaNH Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'll be buying one either way. Heck, I bought an Aridus shroud over a year ago in anticipation of the purchase. My big hang up was 21" vs. 24". I'm about 75% sure I'm going 24". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only took a file and a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Sometimes my 1301c emits flames in the ejection port. Very visible in the dusk. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm if there have been any updates to the latch (or anything else) on the comp model? Edited May 12, 2018 by TalkingMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremyc_1999 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I have an SX3 and I am seriously considering going with a 1301 comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Having intermittent double feed in my 1301c when racking the bolt. 2 shells on lifter in line w/ the magtube. Happened a few times in practice last week and in a stage in a major yesterday. Cannot deliberately make it happen. Has anybody experienced it? What could be the problem and solution?

Eagle4 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 At Ipsc world shoot i have saw the prototype of the "new" 1301 comp in blue color. New grip, same bolt latch than tactical, loading port a little bigger (need work for speed quadload), welded lifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonJeong Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Love my 1301. Not a single malfunction. Fast and no recoil. And tales any ammo. The rib is nice and high too. Wish they sold other stocks for it, like nice wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put an A400 Mega Kick Off stock on my 1301, bolted right up. Edited September 3, 2018 by ecn515 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm tempted to say yes since the 1301 us really just a spec'd out 400. Most every other part is interchangeable so it would stand to reason that the barrels would be too. Only thing to consider is the barrels are so astronomically expensive that at that point you might as well just buy a different gun for a few more dollars...

There are a few 28” barrels in eBay for about $250 bucks. Not bad if it works. Would have a 21” for 3 gun and 28” for clays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 This shotgun is on my list for my next shotgun. The question I have is for those who have opened up the loading port have you noticed any wear in the receiver that would effect the longevity of the 1301? The reason I ask is I was browsing rci/xrail sight and they state that’s opening the loading port in this gun will decrease the longevity. Just wondering if there is any first person account of this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mine was opened up by RCI almost two years ago. Only cleaned once a year, thousands upon thousands of rounds through it. Still looks great, can't really recall any malfunctions in the past two years either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info, RCI is on my short list to do the work when I get the 1301, either them of Briley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
