Feets / Collection / My build Nearly an Italian Classic
I promised to my bank account that there would be no gun except Carmel coming later Summer.
However I could not pass the last A300 UP with discount…
Took it apart, cleaned and bathed it with oil
Now I need to put some accessories on it and bring this beauty to the range

Kinda hard to find stuff for it here, I had to go through Canadian Safety Source and that takes months to arrive (they import).
The 1301 mag tube extension is the same fitting. The charge handle isn’t

Mine had oil coming out of the stock and basically every crevice. Took it completely apart, cleaned and oiled. I've added an S&J mag tube extension, Kick's choke, rep Surefire w/ pressure pad, Vortex Triumph red dot, Pro lifter, Mesa Tactical Urbino Stock. It cycles any bird shot, buck shot or slug I've put through it. Amazing shotgun.

AFAIK, S&J has most of stuff I need. Where did you get the pro lifter

What’s your opinion on the mesa stock? I’ve been hesitant because I read reviews that the stock is only friction fit and can rotate after shooting a bunch

I could see that. My experience is pretty short-term, so it hasn't moved for me. My only small gripe is the grip area where your thumb to index webbing sits is more squared than rounded. The Chisel Machining stock is probably the better option but at a much higher price point. I actually like the factory stock except I couldn't get a good cheek weld.

How does it compare to the 1301 Mod 2?

u/Even-Somewhere-9554 Jun 12 '26
1301 Mod 2 is definitely nicer but it comes with premium price. Never shoot one
A300 is about 85% of 1301 Mod 2 with $400-500 cheaper so yeah I am poot af, I picked A300
