Thats a hard call. I don't have any experince with a 1300 myself, but I can speak to you about buying used stuff. You have a 50/50 chance that it will be good. If you are buying it used, shoot it first. See if whoever has it will let you run about a box of shells through it. Low power and high power. If they say no, I wouldn't touch it. Most of the time if a person wants to get read of something, theres a reason.[&o]

Contridictingmyself, if you do want used. You can find some awesome deals in local pawn shops. I have a buddy that works in one and they pass some great guns through that place. He was telling me that you would be amazed at the people who actually pawn things. He was telling me that he's pawned stuff from a few doctors here in town. Thats amazing.

But I can trust him to tell me if its in good shape or not.
