In defense of the BPS, look at the receiver on it, and compare it to the reciever of just about any other repeating shotgun of any brand. The BPS rec. looks like you could drive a loaded semi over it without doing more than cosmetic damage; try that with an 870, 1100, Moss. 500, Benelli, or Beretta. Can you say, "Squished flatter than a pancake?"

Having said that, I'll also have to say that there's always an 870 in my gunsafe. It's "the gun gunsmiths love to hate." It seldom breaks, and when it does, it's easy and inexpensive to repair.
