Got my +2 Nordic installed and now I can get 7x 2.75" shells in the tube with a little extra room. I kept the stock follower and used the Nordic spring cut to 16" longer than tube (they recommend 12-16" for semi autos) to ensure reliability. Got the in-stock email from Aridus for a forend but they sold out before I could place an order. | |||

You won’t regret it. Did you get the CROM site? "Ultima Ratio Regum" Life Member NRA Washington Arms Collectors The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them.' | |||

No. Did not know if either the Aimpoint or RMR was in my future. | |||

I get you. I like the RDS for the shotgun, but I found the CROM wasn't for me and switched back to the standard and mounted my RDS on the PIC rail. For me, using a Trijicon (or in my case a Holosun) with the CROM resulted in a pretty cluttered sight pic, so I switched to a bigger RDS (a Holosun 510) that while not "co witnessing" with the sights, works just fine if I just use the front sight as a quasi gold dot.

This thread kept pulling at me and has now cost me money. I was in my LGS which has been void of good defense SG’s for some time and they now have three 1301 tacticals in FDE, marine and black as well as a Benelli M4. That M4 is a sweet tank of a gun but I ended up with a 1301 with Marine finish as it had the best trigger of the three Beretta’s- can’t wait to get to the range next weekend. | |||

Just make sure you have the correct number of US made parts before adding the +2 Extension. Diligentia, Vis, Celeritas "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." -- George Orwell | |||

I have a M4 and my son just bought a FDE 1301. No doubt the M4 is a better made gun. It's a tank and has never missed a beat shooting even the lightest Walmart target loads. With that said, If I were buying a new shotgun today, it would be the 1301. Very good quality, reliable, light and fast handling. The 1301 is MUCH cheaper than current M4s. I only paid 1099.00 + tax for my M4 back in 2004. They have gone up a little since then.

Yes, they have gone up a little since then! IIRC, the M4 was $2100 or $2200. I paid $1200 for the 1301. I went in there the next day and the M4 and the FDE 1301 were gone. Given the weight, I’d imagine the M4 would recoil less and will run forever but I’m happy with my decision so far. | |||

The next time my Son comes over, we plan to do a back to back comparison. Here is a link to a video Mrgunsngear posted a couple of days ago that compares the two.
