Just curious, I got to handle one the other day and am looking at one of the various clones of the 1300 out there and I'm not going to lie, this kind of fit the bill. Obviously there are probably some differences but I think it might be the same kind of operating system with the rotating bolt that unlocks itself on firing. Maybe it's just based upon and improved which I'd like. Just curious if anybody has taken both apart and noticed the similarities.

Is the Benelli SuperNova kind of a Winchester 1300 clone?

The Nova/SN bolt head has 2 large locking lugs. I believe the Winchester 1200/1300/SXP series uses 6 smaller locking lugs.
Both incorporate the shell stop and shell interrupter with the trigger assembly unit. Mossberg 500 are loose and held in the receiver by the trigger assembly. Remington 870's are staked into the receiver.
1200/1300/SXP mag tube has plastic feed throats that can wear out.
Nova/SN has steel skeleton receiver overmolded with "technopolymer". 1300/SXP is aluminum like the Mossberg.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
