Gen 1. Worth it if you are going to get an OEM handguard, and potentially the Pro Lifter ($120-$180).
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Mod.2 per the customer service when I ordered it a little bit ago.
heme1@reddit
Hey, did you get it and was it actually mod 2?
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Mod.2 per the customer service when I ordered it a little bit ago.
heme1@reddit
Is it confirmed this is the Mod 2 with the pro lifter and everything? I don't mind the lack of pistol grip and neutered round count.
L_Shooter@reddit
It was confirmed
PewPew247365@reddit
UPDATE: Just spoke to Beretta 1-800 about 5 minutes ago.
Beretta CSR said this J131T518 model is an older discontinued model. NOT MOD.2
Rep said the newest 5+1 MOD 2 model is J131M2CTT18
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Just ordered over the phone. Confirmed with them, it is definitely Mod.2 they contacted Beretta to be sure.
MrJackieTran@reddit
Is it mod 2 or 1. Jesus lol I look up the model number and it pulls up the discontinued version....
Shiftaspeed@reddit
They told me mod 2. They said they talked with beretta corporate to confirm
MrJackieTran@reddit
Every where I look it's a discontinued version of the mod 1....I am confused....
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Hey told me it was the new atf compliant model that was also magazine limited state compliant. Worst case I'm sending it back lol
PewPew247365@reddit
Did you get the shotgun in to confirm mod 2?
Shiftaspeed@reddit
As far as my endless searches, yes it is. Everything I can find, it is indeed mod 2. Has the same trigger as shown in the mod 2 upgrade, bolt release is the same as a mod 2. So yes.
PewPew247365@reddit
Looks like I might be buying this. Very soon.
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Highly recommend getting from scopelist. Awesome sales team, very cool people. Shipping was super fast.
PewPew247365@reddit
Not to muddy the waters but I called beretta 1-800 technical and the guy said he thinks it’s a mod 1. I wanted to see if there was someone specialized for the 1301s but he said that he was the department….
Would you be able to snap pictures of the one you have?
Shiftaspeed@reddit
I can try tomorrow, any clue on what the indicator is for the mod2?
Horvaticus@reddit
Sorry to bug you on this - do you know if this has the pro-lifter or not?
It sounds like the only thing that's different is the forend and the mag tube.
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Yep prolifter. Someone else reached out to LTT and they confirmed it's mod2
throwawayifyoureugly@reddit
Any chance you can share a picture of yours?
The price is great, just debating how big a deal a it is if I still need to buy other mods.
AhhCheew@reddit
Sent you a chat.
Horvaticus@reddit
Hell yeah! I bought one a few days ago :) I actually really dig the cheaper SKU, thanks homie!
PewPew247365@reddit
Something about the trigger and pro lifter and the forend, but this one doesn’t have the mlok.
His internal documents didn’t say anything about it being mod 2 or gen 2/3. So he kept on saying he thinks its an older model. again it was customer support with no concrete evidence .
Regardless, the guy on the other line was saying to buy it since it was a 1301 for $1200ish.
When you can, maybe post the pics on the r/beretta1301 sub and have them look it over?
FXFT_Designs@reddit
Ryan Smith, Beretta USA's Northeast Regional Manager, says this part # is a Mod 2.
MrJackieTran@reddit
Welp... this is a huge blue ball moment.... RIP
Shiftaspeed@reddit
Id love to know this as well. Ready to order...

If you prefer EuroOptic as your vendor of choice, they are also offering it for this
Beretta 1301 Tactical 12ga 18.5" Bbl Synthetic Black Shotgun J131T518 For Sale - EuroOptic.com
GreenTree3@reddit
Aren't they the same company? They're both located a 9 minute drive from each other in the middle of nowhere central PA, and generally carry the exact same products at roughly the same prices like in this case
Horvaticus@reddit
Tossing this in here - it actually ended up being cheaper via scopelist because they had promotional shipping. Sale's still on folks!
38CFRM21@reddit
Ah, that may explain it then. Didn't know that.
Anonymous8630@reddit
So at this point this is only about $300 more than the a300 ultima patrol?
Mahlegos@reddit
Commenting almost two weeks later, but, $400 more as Bereli has a300s in blue for $800. This is also a neutered version of the 1301 with a 5rd mag tube, no pro lifter, and a different handguard. If you wanted to get this up to par capacity wise with the a300 (and replace the handguard with the more functional one) it’s going to run you at least a few hundred and that’s assuming you can find the mag tube in stock. By that point you’re pushing almost double the cost of the $800 a300.
Anonymous8630@reddit
Thanks for that info. I see why they dont post a picture of it lol
Party-Expression8264@reddit
Is this fixed choke? And does it have the bolt release that needed a piece to be fixed? Basically is it 1.0 or 1.5? And le or non le model? Thanks
Shiftaspeed@reddit
This or benelli m4?
BustOfPallas@reddit
Always both.
Special_Baseball_143@reddit
Am I missing something or is this not an insane deal
Freedom-Forever@reddit
To bring it up to the actual mod2, you'll need the $200 handguard and the 7 round tube. Not seeing the value here
Gullible-Heron-1836@reddit (OP)
The new handguard is $80. Plus if someone is gonna get the aridus setup or something else, why would you spend $1500 on the other one when they are functionally the same. Unless you are scared of installing a handguard.

drichatx@reddit
Dang. Really wish that handguard was available in ODG.
38CFRM21@reddit
Yeah this is an amazing deal.
sexierthanhisbrother@reddit
5rd
coldfalcon28@reddit
What I was thinking, must be missing something ..
PewPew247365@reddit
Wait. This is actually good for the capacity limited states.
Handguards are cheap-ish and a mag tube extension is less than $150.
negtrader@reddit
No pistol grip as well.
38CFRM21@reddit
Maybe it's me, I prefer shottys without the pistol grip anyways
mhammond0361@reddit
Same. They all look fugly as he'll imo with any sort of pistol grip stock config
PewPew247365@reddit
Some states do not allow semi auto shotguns to have a pistol grip.

specter800@reddit
That P/N doesn't match anything I can find of Beretta's and definitely not a Mod 2. Not a bad deal but you'll need to source a long mag tube and quite a few other parts to bring it up to that standard if you're getting what I think, which is a 5+1 1301 1.0.
PewPew247365@reddit
What other parts are needed to bring it up a standard 1301? Besides the extended tube?
specter800@reddit
If it's a 1.0, to get to "Mod 2" you would need off the top of my head:
And since the ATF fucked the 1301 idk if OEM mag tubes are going to come back or not.
Icy_Custard_8410@reddit
And bolt release swap
Various_Tart5736@reddit
There's a 1301 LE Model non-Mod 2 for $1,299 at Arms Unlimited but I'm not sure if it would actually be considered a deal. A few months ago, I bought from them a 1301 Mod 2 Pistol grip for $1,330 and it was one of the best purchases I made.
kayl_breinhar@reddit
Honestly, this SKU is tempting to me because I already own a "Gen 2 LE" 1301T and the barrel on this thing is complete and choke-ready. The barrel itself costs \~$700 and comes incomplete.
negtrader@reddit
This is legal in Illinois.. no pistol grip and has 5 round capacity?
hellomynameisjambo@reddit
Holy shit I paid 1400 for mine and thought I got a deal
hellomynameisjambo@reddit
On that note, crazy deal, top tier shotgun, handles any junk you can throw at it shell wise, I added the chisel stock and she looks mighty purty as well
Freedom-Forever@reddit
That is so much uglier than the normal one, plus only has the 5 round tube (checking UPC against other sites)
Gullible-Heron-1836@reddit (OP)
Sure, but you can buy a new handguard and mag tube and still save a couple hundred at the end of the day
Justthetippliz@reddit
Is this the new one after ATF ban? Ugly as fuck
