I posted this solution to the ARGO system years ago. Both a hand held tool and a Delrin slotted compression pin to release / install the ARGO pin secured in a vise. The factory tool is does not seem to be as kind as the Delrin and polished hand held tool.

Order was placed about 5 mins ago. Rock n Roll!

Our 6 position recoil tube is only compatible with the original legacy OEM collapsible stock. So it would work for your needs if I understand you correctly.

That piece fits inside the pistol grip and applies tension as you tighten the grip onto the receiver extension. It's part #120 on this picture.

OK, CONFIRMED: All of the internal parts of the 5-Position Tube Assembly (# 70135) are the exact same as the internal parts of the older/previous 3-Position Tube Assembly (# 70043). Verified by two (2) unit armorers and Benelli C.S. today. This means that I can use the extra OEM M4 Collapsible Stock (# 70085) I have already on the new M4 Entry if I can find a plain 3-Position Tube itself (# 70130). I know the newer LE M4's may have a "better" collapsible stock w/ 5 positions and are now common with LE M3's and SuperNova's, but I like & prefer the classic "look" for the original M4 c-stock. I do see some aftermarket 6-Position tubes out there, but I've yet to hear or see anything on them working out with the older c-stock parts...

I haven’t handled one to say for certain, but I imagine the internals are the same so they could remain compatible with the pistol grip stock and field stock. I can’t imagine why they’d force themselves into making new parts. However, we are talking Benelli here…

M4 is more robust. I have all 3, the berettas are a lot of plastic… M4 is heavier but can go through a battle field and still function if dropped, banged around, thrown around etc, to be honest I wouldn’t ever take a 1301 or a 300UP into a battle if the M4 was there as a choice. the berettas shine in sport shooting. Pick your poison.

I would imagine u can’t go wrong with either pick. I have heard great things about each. That being said I own an M4. Largely because of the reputation it has with the USMC, it became my dream gun. Truth be told, I was unaware of the 1301 when I got mine a few years ago. Otherwise, I think I would’ve had a much a harder decision. What really helped me make the leap was a thread on arfcom written by the manager/owner/whomever of a shooting range in Las Vegas regarding the sturdiness and reliability of the M4. I believe the name of the range is Battlefield Las Vegas. They cater to a lot of tourists because they rent machine guns. He wrote a lengthy thread describing the parts breaking in even the most reliable of guns like the Rem 870 and Mossberg 500 guns. He had raving review of the Benelli M4/M1014 and that even after 10s of thousands of rounds it never broke a single part and was never not available for rent due to repair. Now this was a thread from many years ago, quite possibly before the 1301 came to market, let alone the A300 ultimate patrol. I’m sure if u did a search u will find the thread. It definitely helped me get over the cost of the M4. Love mine, even after putting another 1k into it to make it how I wanted it. With all that said, I will likely own Beretta 1301 and possibly the A300 Ultimate Patrol eventually. Good luck with whatever u choose.

They seem to be machined well. Not sure why they skipped the drainage holes though. I wouldn’t go out of my way to put a 6 position in over an oem 3 position. I’m not that sensitive to stock length. I usually just throw it fully open.
