Disassembly of the BPS is a breeze compared to a Model 37. Hardest part about a BPS is holding the cartridge stops in when putting the trigger group back in. It helps to have 3 hands. Otherwise, it's pretty easy.
I agree with Yoder about the Winchester 1200/1300. My dad gave me his 1300 slug gun years ago back when USRAC was making them. I let it go. But it was super accurate and very reliable. It was my first experience with a pump that opened the action upon firing. I swear, that was an accident in the design but Winchester called it a speed feature. The Benelli Novs/Super Novas do it, too. It works well and lets you shuck em fast.
37's are dead simple so long as you aren't a dunce and don't mind removing a few screws. They aren't as bulletproof/durable as many seem to think. Contrary to pupular belief, they all end up coming in for repair sooner or later when they see enough use, including 37's and 870's.
