DESCRIPTION
Developed from the versatile Beretta gas operated, self-cleaning system, the
new 1301 Tactical utilizes an exclusive exhaust valve that allows the shotgun
to fire a broad range of ammunition. In combination with the rotating head of
the breech bolt, the new B Link system further reduces the already low felt
recoil, directing the recoil force directly in line with the shooter's shoulder. This
minimizes recoil of the firearm on firing and lends additional stability to the
shotgun in firing subsequent rounds.
The 1301 Tactical has also been optimized to ensure lower gas dispersal. As a
result, the system has a self-cleaning feature that further minimizes maintenance
and significantly reduces the stress to which the operating parts are subjected
to at higher charges, thereby ensuring the greatest possible service life of
the firearm. The shotgun without any adjustment or intervention can shoot
cartridges from 70 mm (2 ¾ in) /24 g (
7
/
8
oz), to 76 mm (3 in) /57 g (2 oz).
The new piston has been designed to constantly clean out gunpowder residue
in the cylinder, increasing the efficiency of the firearm and reducing the need for
maintenance. The elastic piston seal has a rough finish to optimise cleaning.
SHOTGUN ASSEMBLY WARNING: In order to prevent damage to the elastic
piston seal, first insert the piston into the chamber cylinder and then insert the
magazine tube through the piston hole.
The valve unit is connected to the barrel, making assembly and disassembly
of the barrel itself easier.
The cocking handle, the bolt release lever, and the safety button are
oversized to minimize effort and ease manipulation. The safety button on trigger
guard is reversible for left-handed shooters.
The rounded profile receiver guarantee a quick instinctive aiming.
The trigger guard, in heavy duty polymer, has an innovative new texture. Its
new semi-square shape makes finger positioning easier. The rounded shape
and absence of sharp corners have been designed for more rapid, more secure
trigger grip.
The 1301 Tactical shotgun comes with a standard Picatinny rail (MIL STD
1913) on the receiver for convenient mounting of a scope, red dot, laser device,
flashlight or other type of accessory.
The stock and fore-end are designed with aggressive checkering for improved
grip in order to enjoy the best performance during the competition.
