One issue with the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol (That's easily resolved)...

[@mcgush8427]

Does no one know you can take a 6mm Allen key and back the QD cup out a few threads? One and a half turns and all QD swivels work.

[@travisp11]

Ahh. I honestly didn’t know that as this is the first firearm that I have run into a situation where the QD mount was not above the mounting surface. I just assumed the mount was molded into the stock and was part of it.

[@TheGoshzilla]

Or you can use a T40 hex bit. Unscrew it add blue locite reinstall and adjust.

[@JackedLobster]

I figured I’d better check the comments before I left a similar one. Simple fix if you like the orientation of that socket, but I put one on the right side of the stock because I didn’t like how that bottom mounted one made the shotgun hang.

[@f34dave]

Yup. Another method is to grind down the tip of the swivel, reducing the length by a fraction, so it sets deeper in the "cup" and it worked great too.

EASY FIX: The QD cup has an allen wrench socket because of the way it installs into the stock -- use a hex key / allen key wrench to unscrew the QD cup by one turn. The QD cup will back out from the stock and the QD slings will engage. The QD cup installed to this original depth allows the cover to fit flush with the stock and mitigate snagging. There is definitely no need to remove stock material using a rotary cutter/grinder -- please don't suggest this.

Magpul QD sling swivel works fine in mine, which I got a month ago. Not sure why you'd say Blue Force is better than Magpul, but you're definitely imagining it. A button being harder to push is weird excuse to say quality is superior.

[@travisp11]

What I said was the smaller diameter of the Blue Force sling swivel allows it to mount on the inset rear mounting point, therefore it is better for this shotgun because it works. What I didn't realize at the time is that I could back out the sling mount QD point with an allen key. I'm gonna make another video doing that and we will see if the Magpul mount works. The Blue Force button is a bit harder to push which some may see as an advantage or disadvantage. As for Magpul, I've been a customer and fan of theirs for nearly a decade. Last thing I want to add is in the comments on this video people have been complaining about the Magpul sling swivel not working on the front QD mount. I believe this is due to the QD mount being a bit out of spec on the gun so this is not Magpuls fault.

[@DTex.45ACP]

@@travisp11 Fair enough - I see what you're saying, but I don't think I really agree with it. I'd think the smaller diameter as not being a plus as long as the swivel will...well, swivel...360 degrees. Anyway. not trying to get in a neckbeard pedantic argument, so I'll just say that I've tried both the standard and heavy duty (has the triangle-ish sling loop) Magpul swivels, and they both do 360 without popping free. Looks like Beretta jumped in and corrected the issue within the last couple months. I also had zero issues with the front QD sockets. I have a M+M M10X-Z where the rear QD socket is not cut deep enough to take the Magpul swivels, and it's really frustrating. Especially after they told me it was cut to spec and that chinese knock-offs or "newer Magpul swivels" are the only ones with "problems". Then they told me I should use a dremel to deepen the ball-bearing divots inside the socket. 😶 Seriously? I need to take a dremel to a rifle that cost $1800 to "fix" a problem that is not isolated to "new" Magpul swivels, but every damn swivel I've tried on it?

James Reeves over on TFB TV did 500 rounds with no problems. The manual says if you shoot all lead you should clean it after 200, I only did about 50 in my range test and it wasnt very dirty when I took it apart to clean it.

[@fullachit]

You could just back out the insert about a 1/4 turn. No?

[@travisp11]

Yup. Didn’t know that at that time.

Recently purchased this fire arm when trying to load the firearms I can only get 6 2.75 slugs in the 7th won’t go in all the way any advice

[@travisp11]

It may be the crimping on the shotshells that is causing the issue. Have you tried loading 7 rounds of regular shot to see if they will go? I've heard that some european shotshells have a different type of fold/crimp on the shotshell that takes up extra space that USA sourced shotshells dont and when you multiply that extra amount of space x rounds, that eats up space for round #7

[@beamerboy9510]

@@travisp11 thanks for the info they are fiocchi slugs and there is some extra material on the end

I was considering the blue force or the magpul qd points, I guess I know what my decision will be.

[@travisp11]

There ya go.

[@desmurphy1431]

Can the a300 patrol handguard/forearm grip be switched over to fit on the 1301

[@travisp11]

I believe so and vice versa. If you can try to get one from somebody before you buy it but I believe that James Reeves over at TFB TV confirmed it.

[@neiljonielunas5069]

Using Magpul sling swivels. I had to turn the rear socket out about a 1/8” turn to get the swivel to lock. The front was worse. I had to grind about 15 thousand of the face to get it secure. Shouldn’t have to do this.

[@travisp11]

I ended up changing out my mag tube and clamp with an aftermarket part from GG & G. I added an MLOK sling mount of the front and she is good. The blue force gear sling worked just fine on the back and the front the front plastic stock mag tube and clamp kept moving.

Wanted: Heat Shield for Beretta A300

[@stewartwhite3165]

Great fix tho the QD can be backed out without filing, shaving the stock. Allen head wrench will fix the problem. Also, $1100 too much to pay for the a300 patrol. Exile Armory in Weaver, AL sells them for $855. Score!

[@travisp11]

The tiger stripe model has a higher MSRP and was a limited run but yeah, these are way cheaper now and I expected that to happen. Good call on the Allen key use.

[@wtffrank]

GroveTec invented the QD and they're also in spec

[@HardEarnedBacon]

Agreed, ridiculous issue for this gun to have. Guess I'm buying brand new Blue Force swivels to replace my brand new QDM swivels 🙄

[@travisp11]

Try what you have (or return them if you haven't opened them.) You can use whatever you want on the front one. And don't forget, this problem may not be present on all of em but I would love to hear if yours has the same issus as mine.

[@HardEarnedBacon]

@@travisp11 mine is actually the opposite, the sling works in the buttstock but not the front.

File the swing swivel to remove a few thousands of material, dont mar up the stock it's self if you aren't using the Blue Force swivels...

[@Ceej3]

Blue force gear qds work fine

[@travisp11]

Yup!

[@theroadhound]

The BUTTSTOCK qd mount is screwed into the stock, just grab a hex wrench stick it inside the qd slot and give it a quarter to half turn counterclockwise and the whole "PROBLEM" is solved

[@travisp11]

That is one option. Funny that Beretta didn’t tell the larger KZbin channels it’s all that was necessary.

[@normrubio]

Premium shotgun, premium accessories.

[@travisp11]

Yeah but you would expect a QD mount to be built to a common standard.

[@chiward]

I was having the same issue but for some reason I was able to just rotate the mounts & they locked in place. 🤷🏾‍♂️ maybe I just got lucky

[@travisp11]

It’s because the plastic is higher on the front and back than the sides. So that may explain why rotation works for you

[@conradaleshire4428]

Why not send it back and have them fix it?

[@travisp11]

A few people suggested backing out the QD mount and that is an option but quite a few people have had the same issue as me so who knows is Beretta could fix it.

[@mike-le2xp]

Don't cut it! There's an Allen inside. Just give it a half turn to the left

[@travisp11]

Yup. Something I didn’t discover till after I made this video.

[@martinsimandl2814]

Back out with allen wrench, no carving

[@travisp11]

Yup. Didn't realize that at the time.

[@tonybroussard1080]

Just back it out with an Allen key holy shit lol

[@travisp11]

What’s funny is at the time I never thought to do that and two of the huge KZbin channels that features this gun also saw that they had the same problem as me

[@Subdood04]

I was lucky. Didn’t have that issue with mine.

[@travisp11]

Good!

[@jerrydelatorre5977]

I have the reverse issue…

[@stevenn2978]

Just bought one and it shot four shells and the trigger locked up! Known problem. Wish I would have researched it more. I'm told I have to send the firearm back to Beretta and they fix it and send it back - about a six week lag!!!!!!. If Beretta knows this is a problem, why are they not recalling all the ser #'s with this problem or have new trigger assemblies ready on the shelf to send to customers??? By not having either, it just pisses off customers off and gives Beretta a bad name. My opinion.

[@travisp11]

@@stevenn2978 I agree they really seem to be dropping the ball on this product and I’m not gonna make excuses more, but I do know that that the patrol has been a very popular shotgun for them, but still no excuses
