The first batch imported have all been sold ... one of my local dealers has had "next month" suggested to him but how true that is, even he doubts it! There will be some at the CLA GameFair but only to look at and not actually try out.

Just happened across the GMK rep in a local shop. He told me the 1301 is a half decent shotgun, but it should be as it's really just a tricked up AL391. And, it's made in Spain, not Italy. He stated that the Benelli brand of the Beretta group sell 10 to 1 the shotguns of the Beretta brand and there is a reason for this....

I'd wait a while to see how they hold up after a season of competitive use before buying one... If you're itching for a S1 semi right now, I'd got for an M2..

Looking for a synthetic stock for a hatsan semi mossy oak, my local dealer would charge £67 for it. Any other way to get this item? Thx.

londoner it's really good that you can go to your local dealer for a look and then try to shaft him by buying elswhere, If everyone did this you wouldn't be able to "look" for long, well you could look at pictures on the internet I suppose.

Didn't go to local dealer, asked them on phone, they don't have it in stock. Could get it for £67, which seems very steep for me for a piece of plastic. Don't You shop around when You buy anything? I do... It is called the free market. Can You give any valuable advice? Thx.
