I think some people use them in 3 gun shoots that's why they made them with removable chokes. I like that on my 1301 comp pro. It think you can also shim it for left hand you can do it on a A400.I took the new 1301 out today and I have to say I'm very happy with my choice. I put 200 rounds thru it of mixed stuff, all 2-3/4" as I have no 3" shells. Used a mixture of buck shot and slugs, full power loads and reduced recoil loads and the gun fired all of them without a problem, not one misfeed or ejection problem. I can't really compare it to anything else as this is my first semi-auto shotty in a loooong time.
Having to shoot long guns lefty I have to work on finding what works for me for rapid reloading. I'm not sure the reasoning for putting a removable choke on the barrel of a shotgun made for tactical/defense use. Maybe someone here can explain?
My guess is they just turn out all the barrels with threads.I took the new 1301 out today and I have to say I'm very happy with my choice.

Anyone care to answer? I'm also curious about this.If my understanding of the MAAWB is correct if I had say a 1301 and put non-collapsible pistol grip stock on it I would be ok because it only has a five round tube? If I put a mag extension on then I would have to go back to a traditional stock correct?
