I have to agree that the BPS is excellent.
In fact, of the pump shotguns that I have had come into the various shops I have done gunsmithing for, in 3 states, in 41 years, there are only two I can think of off the top of my head that I have NEVER had to do a mechanical repair to.
#1 is the Ithaca 37
#2 is the Browning BPS.
Refinishing wood and metal are not counted here. I am talking about problems involving the actions malfunctioning.
I have fixed a few old Mossburgs, a lot of Remingtons, a few Winchesters M-12s and M1200/1300s, a lot of Stevens, Weatherbys, S&Ws, and imports from Brazil, Turkey and China.
But never a BPS.
That fact alone is pretty good proof that the BPS is a good gun. I am like the old “Maytag repairman” when it comes to fixing M37s and BPS shotguns.
I’d stave to death if I had to make a living fixing them.
Ask other full-time gunsmiths.
Maybe one of them has fixed one. I never have met one however, at least not yet.
