A: When logged in just select both the "Notify Me When Available' and "Add to Wish List" button and you will be notified when it comes back in stock Martin.

A: While I am sure Buds has them on order there is no way of knowing when it will be back in stock. I suggest that you click the notify me button and Buds will email you when they are available this in no way obligates you to purchase the gun. It just notifies you that they are available again we are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions

A: Hi Martin, Please go on the product page and click the "Notify me when available" Button and Buds will email you when the item is in stock.

A: Please click the green box stating it as the best answer. We are rated on our answers and are just volunteers, not Buds employees. You can choose more then one Thank you!

A: You share similar sentiments as myself Martin. As non Buds employees, we are relegated to looking at Buds past/recent restock patterns, latest reviews (of recent purchasers) just to get a basic idea of time frame. Even the mighty Buds won't answer this question directly(although their acquisition dept should know what is in route based on orders and distributor feedback of said orders). So we just do the best we can.

A: Thats what we're here for Martin. Thank you

A: Also sometimes it depends when the distributors get them or when the factor releases a new batch

A: Hi Martin , Unfortunately the 1301 doesn't have a magazine extension. I've checked the Beretta website. http://www.berettausa.com/en-us/store/gun-accessories/accessories-for-shotguns/barrels/#mpp=24&pg=2

A: MXT does make one though https://nordiccomp.com/categories/beretta-1301-tactical-mxt-extension-kit/

A: lloyd, unfortunately this is the original and not the Gen II Model Sir. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Markus, the Gen II has an enlarged bolt handle and bolt and the handle does not rotate. The Gen II has a larger loading port and larger safety. Differences are detailed here : -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdfOnUg40-4

A: Gen 2 is just better so go with the updated gen 2 version. Might as well.

A: Markus, Beside all the enlarged features that James mentioned on the Gen II. Gen II also has aluminium instead of plastic accessory rail. Also has Nordic Component extended magazine tube. You pay for the upgrades. The Gen I is $800 to $900 and Gen II $1200 to $1300 on the street. This is a Gen I. The Gen II models are Models 11715 and 11721.

A: Rob, yes Sir, this model has the Upgraded Oversized bolt release lever. ((Complete Specifications and Features)): - Beretta 1301 Tactical Semi Auto Shotgun J131T18 - 12 Gauge - 18.5" Steelium cold hammer forged barrel (tri-alloy Ni/Cr/Mo) - 3" Chamber (accepts both 2-3/4" and 3" shot shells) - 4 +1 Round capacity - Semi auto gas operation - Compensating exhaust valve and self cleaning piston - Extra grip checkered stock/forend - Adjustable shim system stock - Oversized crossbolt and reversible safety - Oversized bolt release lever - Textured bolt handle design - Loading port with beveled edges - MIL-STD-1913 picatinny rail - Chrome plated trigger - Aluminum alloy receiver - Ghost Ring rear sight with adjustable windage and elevation - Removable front blade sight - Optima Bore HP choke system - Beretta Blink system shoots 36% faster - 6.7 lbs - Matte Black finish.

A: Rob, The only change here on bolt release handle is that the company calls improved is the larger handle. It is still the two piece handle where it screws on the bar in the bolt. Make sure you locktite the screw on handle on the bolt bar if you get this. It will loosen up.

A: These appear to be Gen 1 guns, so no, they do not have the upgraded bolt release. They have the original bolt release that can be easily upgraded or changed to alleviate potential malfunctions. What the previous commenters are referring to as the bolt release is actually the bolt handle/charging handle.
