  • Beretta 1301 User Guide: Routine Maintenance - Strip, Clean, Assemble.
    In this Beretta 1301 user guide, I go through the routine maintenance you need to do so that your firearm remains in a serviceable condition. I explain how to conduct a safety check, step-by-step instructions on full disassembly, demonstrate the cleaning routine for routine maintenance, step-by-step reassembly, how to conduct a function check, and what beretta recommend with regards to the storage of your shotgun. The Beretta 1301 and Beretta 1301 Comp Pro are very similar in function, stripping, cleaning, and how they assemble, so this video applies to the Beretta 1301 range of shotguns.

    Your video should be the 'gold standard' for youtube 'howto' videos. Scripting, audio, camera, lighting - all perfect. I just purchased a 1301 tactical LE version and your two videos make the ultimate video user manual. Beretta should hire you :-) Again, thank you!!!!

      Hi, really sorry but I don’t have a video on that. I shoot it “standard” so no optics. The comp pro comes with pre drilled holes in the top of the receiver and you can pick up the correct picatinny rail at estore.beretta.com/en-eu/beretta-picatinny-rail-for-1301/tx4/. I can’t see anything online about it, but my beretta has little plastic inserts in the top that you can remove to expose the threaded holes. The rail at the link should just bolt straight into those holes in the receiver. Hope that helps.

      I give mine a good clean after every shoot, but I’m quite funny about cleaning and maintaining my guns. The gas parts to the shotgun are supposedly “self cleaning” as they will scrape the worst off, but I’d probably say clean after you go through a slab (250+) of cartridges.

    • @JonCresswellUk
      @JonCresswellUk  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I clean it after each day of shooting and it had around 200 cartridges through it. The oiled rag helps to get it off, as you could see, it comes off with each wipe. The brass wire brush was from Amazon, there’s a link in the description that should take you there. Sometimes if the carbon is really caked on I may use a bit of scotchbrite pad.

      @JonCresswellUk  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      To be fair I probably over clean! I guess it depends on how much you put through it at the range and how dirty the action/gas parts are getting. The gas parts do have a “self clean” action as they are supposed to scrape off excess carbon, but I wouldn’t advise relying on this as I know a friend whose gas port holes got clogged up. I’d say that it’s definitely good practice to give the barrel a pull through with some cleaner and leave it lightly oiled.

    I finally managed to use mine, I have some problem and don't know the cause.
    First, the internal part of the body has been scrapped off (speaking of the anodization) by the cartridge elevator, Is this a common problem?
    Second, shooting with 35g ammunition for some reason make some of those, situated in the magazine, to fall off, straight down to the ground from the end of the magazine, before getting on the elevator.
    Third, the end of the magazine tube Is slightly melted by the Heat coming out from the barrell.
    I don't know if you still havn't fired the gun in this video, because It seems perfect, but if you did, I'm pretty scared that mine may have major issues.

      It sounds like yours has a problem with the loading gate/receiver assembly 🤔. If it’s scraping off the anodised paint then it may be catching? I’ve never had cartridges fall from the magazine either.
      If I were you I’d take it to the shop you got it from or a gun smith and ask them to take a look at it and fault find.

      I’m a cleaning freak, so I clean it after every range day.

      Shooting in the UK we have a lot of foul weather, so guns get exposed to rain and mud frequently.
      I’m ex-military so gun/rifle cleaning is ingrained, however, to keep your gun serviceable I would recommend keeping it clean. You may not need to clean the gas parts every time, but it’s worth checking them, and maybe taking the worst off, as the 2 vent holes into the barrel and the small holes in the gas block can clog up (this happened to a friend of mine).

      Once you’ve pushed the jag and patch through, the dirty patch will fall off when you pull the rod back out. So you couldn’t pull it back and forth. Some people only push the brush through one way too, I am a bit lazy for that, so use it to scrub the barrel. Then when I push the patches through it cleans all the gunk from the barrel out the muzzle end
