How To Disassemble/Take Apart, Oil/Lube, And Reassemble Beretta 1301 Tactical Mod 2 Shotgun.

In this video I’ll be showing you how to disassemble your beretta 1301 tactical shotgun, properly lube all friction points, and then reassemble/test it. Oiling is maintenance and a good thing to do when receiving a new firearm. If you have any questions feel free to comment down below. If you would leave a like a subscribe I would appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

The manual sucks so bad because it covers every Beretta semi-auto but isn't specific to this gun. So thanks for putting this out.

[@GearAndGuns]

No problem. Glad I could help! I understand. Ridiculous how they don’t make a manual specific to the shotgun you’re buying.

[@AndrewNguyenOfficial]

You're awesome for putting this together! I just got one and was initially a little intimidated with the disassembly, but you made it very easy to understand.

[@GearAndGuns]

Thank you! I’m glad this helped you. That’s the whole point of this channel. Helping others.

[@cristianybarra6319]

Great job what I was looking for I got the same one thanks

[@GearAndGuns]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy it!

[@Timcanniff311]

Just got the same one and olive drab is awesome color glad I got it

[@GearAndGuns]

@@Timcanniff311 Nice. Yeah I like it a lot.

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

Seems like a lot of oil. Perhaps I am under lubricating mine. Thanks for showing how to take the trigger group out. That’s the only thing I haven’t done on mine.

[@GearAndGuns]

It was a little too much. That bottle sucks and kind of drips out on its own. You can do less than that or just wipe the excess away when you put it back together. I prefer to have a more than not enough on there. No problem. Glad this helped!

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

@@GearAndGuns I know you can get those little precision droppers for more accurate application. I just got my Mod 2 a few weeks ago. Loving it. I cleaned it up once and didn’t lube the bolt enough and was having failures to cycle. I am a little more liberal with the oil now, and have also started using a little bit of “tetra gun grease” on the guide rails and bolt itself. Since using the combo of oil and grease, I’ve not run into any issues at all. This thing is FAST!!! Now I’m just trying to figure out what I need in order to get a sling and a weapons light on the gun. Also kind of interested in getting a fiber optic front sight post. Would like a matchsaverz but not sure how to go about that since the mod 2 has that little plastic piece that separates the receiver from the foregrip. So far the only thing I’ve added is an esstac shotgun card (side saddle/shell carrier) and I’m happy with it so far. I want a blue force gear sling but like I said, trying to figure out A. what hardware I need to select on the sling itself and B. What hardware I might need for the gun itself since the factory stock just has that plug and QD cup. Is that hole in the barrel clamp a QD cup as well? I’ve thrown a lot at you in this comment and I apologize for that lol. Just excited about this new gun and trying to learn as much as possible about it before spending money on attachments.

[@GearAndGuns]

@@stevenrodriguez9655 yeah I just haven’t spent the money to buy one. Glad you’re loving the shotgun. It’s a great choice. This thing should cycle any round no problem. Shouldn’t need any grease but lubing definitely helps. Yes extremely fast cycling. I recommend the modlite phlv2 for a shotgun light. I’m actually going to be making videos for sling mounting, sling, shotgun cards, light mounting, and red dot mounting as well. If you can be patient with me, some of these videos might help you make some better decisions. I’m not going to be changing out my front sight post, I don’t think it’s necessary but you can do fiber optic or tritium. I’m also not adding a match saver because there’s not really a good spot to mount it on this hand guard. Esstac shotgun card is nice. I’ll be talking about that in my shotgun card video. I’m putting an aimpoint acro red dot on it, Trex arms sling, modlite plhv2 with arisaka inline mount, surefire st07 tape switch and surefire ue tail cap. I’m also going to put on an aridus industries shotgun card. I’ll be making videos on all of this as soon as possible.

[@GearAndGuns]

@@stevenrodriguez9655 I would recommend to wait a little until I can get these videos out so then you can see these other options, why I’m doing them and why I think there superior. But completely up to you. I used to run esstac but have been having problems with them not holding shells well. I’m hoping to do some more filming today. Just takes time with editing and all that. I’m doing videos as I do work when I can.

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

@@GearAndGuns I’m in no rush. Glad I found your channel, both got our guns around the same time. Always good to see what other people are doing and get some ideas from that. The gun community can be a really good place sometimes. I’ve learned a lot of what I know from just having conversations like this in the comments of smaller KZbin channels, Reddit threads, my own research etc. so I will hold out and see what you post. The wolf green and OD green esstac shot cards apparently were not made with milspec elastic. Not sure if you were having trouble with one of those colors or not, but it’s something I’ve heard echoing around online and figured I’d mention it. So far so good with the black one, but I’ll keep an eye out for quickly dying elasticity.

[@rfrontera042]

Great video! This is absolutely my favorite gun and I shoot it every week but I’ll be damned if I can get that bolt handle out lol

[@GearAndGuns]

Thank you! Very nice gun for sure. It is annoying but not too bad. Just wiggle the bolt face in and out. Doesn’t really need to come out I guess.

[@ut7k]

fantastic video @ @! thanks so much

[@GearAndGuns]

No problem. Thank you!

[@abe1365]

Nice shotgun. I’ve got one ordered.

[@GearAndGuns]

Thank you. That’s awesome. I hope you enjoy it. You won’t be dissatisfied.

[@lukedo8560]

Looks like just did a 5000-mile vehicle oil change on the shotgun. Why oil the follower spring even? Getting everything soaked will just allow dirt or burnt residue to cling on to.

[@GearAndGuns]

Yeah definitely over did the lube lol. That bottle sucks really bad. Leaks everywhere and hard to control how much comes out. I like to oil all mostly metal moving parts that grind against each other or cause friction. The follower and spring both touch the inside of the metal round tube. Not a big deal, just showing you everywhere you can oil. You’re free to oil as you please or not at all. Things just tend to run a little more smooth. But you’re right, it can cause build up in certain areas because of the wetness of it. I just prefer some liquid even if it’s dirty rather than dry friction.

[@williamtodd1326]

Thanks!

[@GearAndGuns]

No problem!

[@Jrh-rp7np]

I’ve been thinking about buying one of these bad boys,, what does the Beretta owners manual say about cleaning the B-Link gas system,, do they recommend cleaning it after X amount of rounds.. or is it a mystery you’ll have to discover using it yourself… I know the Beneilli M4 is famous for its ARGO gas system that is self cleaning as they say..

[@GearAndGuns]

@@Jrh-rp7np doesn’t say much about the b link system except that it fires 33% faster than competitors. It’s kind of a mystery on cleaning, you can wait to clean it until you have problems, or you can clean it based off what others say or when you would like to clean it. Yeah the benelli can potentially go 10-20k rounds without cleaning. Up to you how much you’d like to clean it, it should run for awhile since it’s a combat style shotgun. I’d recommend this over the benelli because of weight, but if you don’t want to clean it, benelli might be better. I’m going to be replacing my benelli for a 300 blk short rifle for home defense.

[@Lawlzinator]

you have to take out the spring and follower just to clean this thing?

[@GearAndGuns]

@@Lawlzinator No you do not have to. I only did that to oil the spring. If you shoot a lot, eventually overtime there may be buildup in the tube that you might want to clean out. I was just demonstrating how to take them out.
