Followers are probably one of the most frequently upgraded parts on tube magazine shotguns. The main feature of most aftermarket followers is better visual and tactile identification of an empty magazine. Aridus Industries has introduced their version of a shotgun follower called SMRT Aridus Follower (SMRT-AF) which besides the mentioned feature also is designed to work reliably with magazine extensions. Let’s see if it is as smart as claimed.

Aridus Industries makes some of the best accessories for shotguns. The QDC and CROM have proven to be the best setups to run on a Beretta 1301. My Magpul Edition 870 has all the Aridus goodies on it. The CROM was designed to allow an Aimpoint T1 or T2 to cowitness the iron sights on a Beretta 1301 Tactical or a Remington 870 with a tall front sight. Adam of Aridus had been planning an RMR version of the CROM specifically for the Mossberg since the screw holes do not allow for an Aimpoint T1.

For a few months Aridus Industries has been teasing the industry with photos of a Beretta 1301 with a Magpul SGA stock. Nathan S. posted about it back in May. Well Aridus Stock Adapter (ASA) is now up for pre-order for $75. Aridus Industries is also running a separate pre-order package deal with a Magpul SGA Stock for $160. The package deal means you get a Magpul SGA stock for only $85. Not bad for that stock. Aridus Industries is using a Mossberg Magpul SGA stock for their ASA. It will not work with a Remington SGA stock. The SGA Stock and ASA package deal is only available through the pre-order until September 15. After that, Aridus Industries will no longer be carrying the SGA stock on their website.

Following the popularity of their Beretta 1301 Co-Witness Optic Mount, Aridus Industries has turned their attention back to the Remington 870 and has announced pre-orders for their CROM (Co-Witnessing Ready Optic Mount).

Those who have been following my weapons choices for competition will likely remember that I am an avid fan of the Beretta 1301. Previously, they sent me a “tactical” model for review, which I liked so much that I immediately sold my Mossberg 590 (shout out to my Indiana Multigun friends “Dam*it Jerry!) and purchased the 1301 competition at full retail price. (If that is not high praise, I do not know what is).

For those of you not familiar with Vang Comp, they modify tactical shotguns. Last year I had them modify my Magpul Edition Remington 870.

At the Beretta booth, I saw a Beretta Tactical 1301 with a distinct optic mount. It is something new by Aridus Industries. The mount is a dedicated Aimpoint mount. It lowers the Aimpoint so that the iron sights co-witness thru the Aimpoint. It looks like the mount replaces the factory rear sight and has an integrated rear peep sight.

Adam Roth of Aridus Industries has been updating Beretta 1301s. Nathan S. recently posted about the YT-1301 latch and shroud.

Aridus Industries, known for the metal Q/D shell caddy systems, has been hard at work designing new products for the market. It would seem that they are highly interested in the Beretta 1301 series of shotties based on their various previous of product on their Facebook page and their other released product, the YT-1301 Latch and Shroud for the platform.

Life Line Warrior Medicine is a left handed Canadian who has some videos about firearms. Yes, people in Canada have firearms and while they have stringent magazine capacity restrictions they do not have restrictions like a barrel being too short on a firearm.

Adam Roth, owner and founder of Aridus Industries, tried to start a crowdfunding campaign to fund the molds to have his shotgun Quick Detach Carriers injection molded. He ran into a snag. All of the crowdfunding sites turned down his proposal. So he is trying to raise the funds himself on his website.

My friend Adam Roth of Aridus Industries asked me to help him test his Quick Detach Carriers aka QDC as a competitive shooter.

Yesterday, I helped Adam Roth of Aridus Industries with some testing and filming some content for his YouTube account.
