Buy recommendations Watch my local gunsmith make 200$

This is the second time this happens (after 500 rounds and +115 rounds after that).

Because I re-screwed the picatinny rail screws and added blue loctite myself (which wasn't done from the factory), I've voided the warrant for this component according to Stoeger Canada. So basically I can't screw in my own loose screws without voiding warranty on the screws and threads.

I was gonna recommend all Beretta 1301 owners to loctite their thread when they buy their brand new shotgun, but I can't even properly recommend that.

Thanks for the advice. My local gunsmith will check the threads and see if they need to be redone. They also guarantee their work, so if it pops off again they will fix it. So after this, hopefully no issue. Also, its possible the threads and or screws were slightly damaged the first failure, which lead to the second failure? Can’t know for sure now i guess

FYI the metal Beretta uses for their screws is very soft and will strip easily. Ask me how I know. I had my gunsmith replace them with a higher quality screw than the OEM product after mine had to get drilled out.

I would prefer the screw to strip instead of the reciever.
