When i installed the Pro lifter on my 1301 Tactical... i managed to screw up not only the D-clip but also the spring for the guide rod...Those parts are cheap...but shipping is not (at least not here in Europe). I found putting back the guide rod was the biggest challenge...some masking tape (holding stuff in place) & a good set of pliers helped.
We’ve all been there that’s for sure. I can imagine shipping is fairly expensive from the US (if you couldn’t order from Italy). It definitely is a pain with the guide rod. Needle nose pliers are almost a must. Glad you got everything situated!
I was so close to picking up the tiger stripe version myself. I could only find the black in stock so that’s what prompted me to paint it. You could always paint over the tiger stripe if it’s too much of a hassle to get a whole new shotgun
unfortunately not but I heard beretta was working on an a300 patrol style handgaurd for the 1301 tactical. I can't wait. All the 1301 tactical is missing is some mlok slots.
just got my A300 with the pro lifter already installed and a Match Saver. It seems to complicate using the Match Saver since now i have to put the round in, release the bolt then hit the little metal piece on the pro lifter you mentioned to release the bolt. Am i doing something wrong or does it simply just add that step.
I can get a 2 3/4” shell in with the bolt rearward and the lifter up but takes some finesse. Definitely not as easy as a standard lifter. I’m not using a match saver though. Would definitely be challenging under the clock
From what I understand, the rail on top is the same thread pattern and pitch to interchange with 1301 parts. Judging off the compatibility for the lifters, I would imagine the trigger components may be similar. Other than that, I’m not 100% sure, but I would assume that we may start to see more specific parts for this shotgun in the future.
Thanks man and looking back it probably would have been a good idea to do so. I’m working on a precision 10/22 and may paint it when I get it where I want it. Happy to do it in M81 and video the process if you’d like? Stoked for you that you’ve got one coming in too 🤙🏻. New gun day is the best day
Does this effect the ability to ghost load? I assume not, as it is possible on the 1301 too as I understand it. But the way you explained how it works seems like it wouldnt allow ghost loading.
@@gospelofthegauge thanks! In that case I'm getting one. I bet with this lifter combined with the outstanding gaping hole of a loading port the A300 has, that this is the easiest shotgun to load.
I just want to confirm that this mod is functioning with out malfunction. I want to do this on my A300. But I am in contact with Beretta support but they do not concur that the 1301 lifter is compatible with the A300. I am doublechecking as they may not understand that I am talking about the Beretta 1301 Tactical Carrier, Pro Style lifter/carrier.
@@hkrifleworks Thanx, I was just curious about the trigger assembly compatibility. It's annoying that Beretta customer service is so damned lacking in response. I have a Patrol and just ordered out the "pro" lifter from Beretta - that lifter should be *STANDARD* on all Beretta defensive shotguns. The added ease of loading speed is a Requirement for all defense shotguns and lack thereof is a detriment.
My first though. Leaving a comment for notification updates, also you should be able to check with out having to head to the range just see if you can put a shell in between the bolt and lifter All you have to do is pull the bolt back enough to fit a shell in there but not far enough to where the lifter comes all the way up and just push a shell in there
@@hkrifleworks thank you, please let us know how it performs while shooting. I've seen complains about the mag tube spring being weak and front plastic clamp getting loose too. It will be interesting finding out which other parts from the 1301 are interchangeable with the Patrol.
I absolutely can. I have not personally had any issues with the mag tube spring, but have had to re-tighten down the plastic clamp on the mag tube and barrel. It has a QD sling swivel and MLOK slot and I’d be worrying about breaking something under hard use. Likewise. Beretta also said the rear sights and receiver threads were the same pattern for pic rail bases. I know the 1301 has some solid rear sight and low, direct mount bases for rmr’s or other red dots which would be cool to try on this one
@@hkrifleworks I sent a message to Mesa Tactical about the possible release of a pistol grip stock and they said they are waiting for Beretta to send them blue prints to start working on the design.
Lots of questions about ghost loading with a Pro Lifter. Here’s the answer:
ua-cam.com/video/8FWaJbxGI1g/v-deo.html
you filmed everything but the actual install process that we came to see...super helpful.
UA-cam is pretty strict on showing how to modify firearms, gunsmithing etc.. Trying to stay out of trouble. It’s pretty straightforward
Seriously. Pointless video.
@@hkrifleworks Then why waste everyone’s time?

@@hkrifleworks You guys never heard of Roach clips
Thumb pinch is the reason I've preferred open port shotguns like Browning and Mossberg. I also prefer tang/top safeties.
Without a doubt!
Nice camo job.
After seeing your a300 it makes me want to swap my Tiger Stripe edition for a black and camo it.
I was so close to picking up the tiger stripe version myself. I could only find the black in stock so that’s what prompted me to paint it. You could always paint over the tiger stripe if it’s too much of a hassle to get a whole new shotgun
Just ordered my lifter, had to pay $110 bucks though, scalpers lol, love the woodland paint job! Stencils?
Oof prices are definitely tough there. Thanks! Yes just stencils and some rattle can
Does that upgrade still allow you to ghost load an extra round?
I believe so. Check pinned comment
Can the a300 patrol handguard/forearm grip be switched over to fit on the 1301

The a300 is sick where did you get it coated
Thanks man, I coated it myself. Believe it or not it’s rattle can 😂
@HK Rifleworks Fooled me you should of did a video of it. Can't wait to do something like this to mine when it comes in.
Thanks man and looking back it probably would have been a good idea to do so. I’m working on a precision 10/22 and may paint it when I get it where I want it. Happy to do it in M81 and video the process if you’d like? Stoked for you that you’ve got one coming in too 🤙🏻. New gun day is the best day
Where did you order the silver version of the part?
I only could find the silver version. The Beretta store
My A300 Ultima Patrol is my favorite semi shotgun, but I hate the lifter. This mod is life changing.
Does this effect the ability to ghost load? I assume not, as it is possible on the 1301 too as I understand it. But the way you explained how it works seems like it wouldnt allow ghost loading.
I can’t say for sure but I’d imagine it would. On the flip side, I’d personally opt for much easier loading over +1
@@hkrifleworks thanks for the reply!
No, the Pro Lifter does not affect the ability to ghost load. There’s another video here on UA-cam showing it.
@@gospelofthegauge thanks! In that case I'm getting one. I bet with this lifter combined with the outstanding gaping hole of a loading port the A300 has, that this is the easiest shotgun to load.
I'm also a Matt H and came to ask the exact same thing about the same gun. Do all Matt's think alike?

It has been working without issue for me. Beretta actually suggested this to me and let me know the parts are interchangeable
Beautiful camo pattern. Did you buy like that or did you custom paint it? Because I bought the Tiger stripe camo
Thanks! I just hit it with some spray paint. The tiger stripe looks great too
Would you consider dropping a video on the painting process? Thanks
Was that standard pattern from Beretta sent it away to have it done
It came black, I painted it
Question on A300who or where did you have it Camo coated or ceracoat ??
I coated it myself. Believe it or not, it is just rattle can lol
@@hkrifleworks that’s nice job can you share how and what you used to do I have an A300 and would like to do the same…
Thanks Gary, yeah I’d be happy to do so. Can make a follow up video on it for sure
You might have said this and I might have just been not paying attention, but can you still ghost load with that lifter?
I don’t believe you can but I’m not 100% sure
You can still ghost load.
do you know where I can buy the 1301 Lifter? I just got my A300 and I was thinking this same thing when I was quick loading
I ordered direct. Were you able to find one?
what lubrication do you use for your shotgun?
Mostly just use a good CLP (take your pick). In high wear areas I’ll apply grease with a small brush.
Does adding this prevent you from ghost loading?
I believe you can. Pinned a comment on it
Do I need the 3inch or 3.5inch lifter?
3”
Hello that lifter looks like OEM upgrade part, do You remember the SKU?
I do. It’s the pro lifter C7C940
@@hkrifleworks THANK YOU!
Is the entire A300 trigger assembly interchangeable with the 1301?
I’m not 100% sure but I’d be inclined to think so as components are interchangeable

No
Safeties are shaped differently
Can you still ghost load using that lifter?
Pinned a comments that shows some instructions on it
What other parts are interchangeable?
I think some scope bases but that’s about all I know
Can you still ghost load
From what I understand you can but it’s a good bit trickier. Can’t say for certain though. Maybe I’ll give it a shot next range day with it

Yes you can. I had this same question. Confirmed yes you can and this is on my short list to buy!
How much was the upgrade?
Maybe around $70 if I remember correctly
Would you please list the part number?
Sure, it’s C7C940. Btw I show the package with p/n in the video at around 1:00 in if you missed it
@@hkrifleworks thank you, please let us know how it performs while shooting.

Waste of time without actual installation.
Sorry for wasting your time
Thank youtube, not him.
That camo is not in the www orders ...
Came here to watch an install. Left disappointed.
Trying to avoid strikes here as yt is pretty strict on showing installs etc.. It’s extremely simple though.
Just another guy flexing what he paid someone else to install for him.
What made you come to this conclusion? The video was literally shot in chunks as I swapped the lifters out.
