The 1301 Comp platform is built around Beretta's BLINK short-stroke gas system, delivering fast cycling in a semi-automatic configuration. This example pairs that system with a 24-inch steel barrel and chambers for 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge shells, aligning with competition-focused use.
The barrel incorporates a ventilated rib and the OptimaBore HP choke system, and is marked 18.6 mm at the bore. A red fiber-optic front bead provides a high-visibility sighting point. The aluminum alloy receiver wears a matte black base finish with a subtle sparkle-effect topcoat, matched to a synthetic fore-end and polymer stock.
Notable upgrades include a receiver-top Picatinny rail and an aftermarket extended magazine tube that provides a stated 8+1 capacity. Oversized competition controls are present, including an oversized charging handle and an enlarged bolt-release, supporting quick manipulation.
Custom cosmetic details set this shotgun apart: a bolt-on adjustable kydex cheek riser (through-bolted with knurled thumb nuts) with a stencil-painted "1301" motif, tri-color bands near the muzzle, a custom paint job on the stock, and a subtle sparkle-effect topcoat on the receiver. Proofs and markings include "BERETTA – GARDONE V.T. – MADE IN ITALY," "MADE IN ITALY – PATENTED," and "BERETTA U.S.A. CORP., ACCK, MD." The BLINK system is noted on the bolt, with serial number markings present on both the receiver and bolt.
