Reptilia's BPS Stock Lets Beretta 1301, A300 Owners Dial In Fit
Reptilia has introduced the BPS, a drop-in replacement stock built specifically for the Beretta 1301 and A300 shotguns, with an adjustable comb and a shorter-than-usual length of pull aimed at defensive use.
Snapshot
The BPS fits both the 1301 Tactical and the A300 Ultima Patrol despite their different gas systems, giving owners of either shotgun a purpose-built aftermarket option. It starts at an 11.63 in length of pull without spacers, shorter than most factory stocks, and can be extended to 12.63 in with the included Beretta 1-inch spacer.
Key points
- Compact starting fit: the stock's 11.63 in length of pull is deliberately short, with a 1-inch spacer available to reach 12.63 in.
- Adjustable comb height: shooters can set cheek weld to match factory ghost-ring sights or a red dot mounted on the receiver.
- Mixed-material build: the 14.5 oz stock uses glass-filled nylon polymer, 7075-T6 hardcoat anodized aluminum, and nitrided alloy steel hardware.
- Broad fitment: it works on both the 1301 Tactical's rotating-bolt B-LINK system and the A300 Ultima Patrol's self-cleaning piston system, in 12 or 20 gauge.
- Price and options: the BPS comes in black or FDE, is priced at $124.95, and is listed as coming soon according to the firearmblog.com report.
Quick take
The firearmblog.com piece argues that a shorter starting length of pull makes sense on a defensive shotgun, since it's easier to stay mounted while moving or wearing bulky winter layers or body armor. For 1301 and A300 owners who've been stuck with whatever stock came in the box, this gives a dedicated option that adjusts to fit rather than forcing the shooter to adapt. Real-world fit and comfort will depend on the individual shooter, something the source material doesn't fully cover.
