I don't suppose we have any Beretta Semiautomatic Shotgun gurus here do we?

    Specifically looking for someone smarter on the Beretta 1301 Comp in particular...

    Here's where I'm getting stuck today- I purchased two 1301 Comp 24's (sight unseen as it was an internet purchase) and was fully expecting that I'd need to purchase Beretta's bolt shroud kit to address the one major "flaw" of the design...

    To illustrate what I thought I was going to need to purchase...

    (it's that horseshoe looking plastic thing on the left): https://www.beretta.com/en-us/product/1301-bolt-shroud-kit-EU00074

    "Problem" is that's not accurate to the part presently on the 1301 Comp's (at least the ones I acquired) and I have to believe I'm working with a Gen 2 design. This is what I'm seeing (again likely will only be evident if one is fairly familiar with Beretta designs)...

    So... fairly different and I'm at a loss as to what I've got & what I need to do to get these competition ready.

    Anyone better informed/more knowledgable on what I'm looking at as compared to what I expected to work with?

    Thanks in advance.
