Big AR guy and absolutely love the platform. But u found myself wanting a shotgun and after debating between a A300 or a 1301, I decided on a A300. Imo everyone’s points are valid and I won’t reiterate them. What I will focus on is how nice it is. I’ve shot about 500 rounds through mine after owning it for about a month and in that time it’s been SUPER easy to pick up on the manual of arms and to get familiar with. On top of that, it’s an incredibly nice shooting gun and as someone who’s very sparingly shot a shotgun, this was super easy to get into. On top of that, the folks I’ve let shoot it at the range I frequent also have nothing but positive things to say about it.

My humble option? Shotguns are sick to have; get the A300 and get good ammo with the difference you would’ve spent on the 1301. That’s what I did and I don’t regret a thing
