STOCK DROP AND CAST MODIFICATION
WARNING: Always check that the shotgun is unloaded (empty cartridge
chamber, empty receiver, empty magazine). Inspect the firearm by looking
through the ejection port, the loading gate and the chamber. If it is not empty,
unload it as instructed in the relevant section.
WARNING: Never point the firearm at someone or at hard, flat surfaces. Always
treat the shotgun as if it were loaded. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC
SAFETY RULES).
The Beretta semi-automatic 1301 Tactical has a pre-set factory stock cast-off
setting (for right-handed shooters) with 65 or 50 mm drop.
The components which govern the drop and the cast are (see Fig. 24):
 the drop-cast front spacer, made of reinforced technopolymer fibreglass.
 the stock steel plate.
Both the front spacer  and the plate  are designed to secure two different
drops, each with a cast-off or a cast-on (for left-handed shooters) depending on
how they are assembled. A set of additional spacers is also provided to further
change the drop by replacing the spacer pair.
REPLACING THE STOCK DROP AND CAST SPACERS
NOTICE: The right-hand cast is designated by the initials DX. The left-hand cast
is designated by the initials SX. The drop and cast of the front spacer  and
plate  must always be synchronised.
WARNING: Stock drop and cast modification must be carried out by a
competent gunsmith. Failure to comply with these instructions can lead to
damage to property or injury to persons.
