Going to the Berea show tomorrow.
If nothing turns up there, I'll probably head down to Parma Armory and pick one up.

I just checked out their website. EVERY shotgun shows "out of stock".I buy alot of my guns from here . www.centerfiresystems.com They have great prices and great CS. They carry alot of SDS products including shotguns.
Also if anyone is looking for a ghost ring front sight like the one on the 1301 without paying out the wazoo for one , heres a comparable one. The rail may not fit , but the sight should . My rail came loose as well but loctite fixed it . https://www.trimports.com/product/ghost-ring/
Shooting Report:
Pluses:
- Extremely pleasant to shoot, far more so than my Ithaca 37, with 00, 0 and #4.
- Very decent patterns at seven yards.
Minuses:
- Second to last and last rounds kept jumping out of the magazine tube. I preliminarily attribute this to the magazine spring which came with the extension. It seems too strong. I noticed something similar when trying to cycle snapcaps through it. I suppose it could also be due to short stroking during break-in. The next time I shoot it, I'll switch to the OEM spring and see what happens.
- The screw holding the rail on sheered off. There appears to be just enough of it left to possibly remove with needle nosed pliers.
Does anybody know what size screw is used to hold the rail in place? I'm betting it's some metric size, but won't know until I can get the broken one out.
Summary: I didn't expect Benelli or Beretta quality from a $255 gun, and am willing to do a little more wrenching on it to get what I want.
Mine broke off too. Did you find out what size it is?
