    Cameramonkey I have never got as good with a AR or AK as the shotgun or lever action. 7-9 rounds on target beats 30 all over the place. A M1 carbine is also better than an AR. Also the shotgun will not over penetrate the house from testing wall mockups. AR or AK goes through the inside and outside wall.

    Are you running birdshot in the shotgun? Because just about everyone else’s tests result in 00 buck penetrating a number of walls. Whereas 5.56 mm M193 usually fragments going thru a wall.

    That said, the 1301 is a fine choice. Here are some notes that may be of interest:

    I had a Mossberg 930 and thought I loved it…..Until I shot a buddy’s 1301. Sold the 930 and bought a 1301 LE and haven’t regretted it at all. First 50 rounds I shot was standard bird shot and ate it as fast as I could pull the trigger.
