Both of these bad boys just went on sale and im thinking of giving up my Makasi pre order for one. Leaning towards the M4.
Help me decide.

Why pay 6-800 more for an older inferior design? I guess if the looks and nostalgia do it for you then go for it, but the 1301 is clearly superior nowadays

To say superior is crazy. One is purpose built from the ground up as a combat shotgun rugged enough to go through extreme conditions and one is a sporting shotgun dressed up in tactical clothes. It's not even a comparison. My buddy has the 1301 and it feels like a cheap plastic toy compared to my M4 which feels like you're holding a tank in shotgun form

Ok ill buy the 1301 also. Then sell it shortly after because it's built inferior. Or I'll just keep both! Either way ill die with my M4 before I sell it :)

Do whatever you wanf chief, as someone who actually owns both id sell my m4 long before the 1302. To each their own.
