Lost 2 birds from a jammed gun....getting a new 12 ga

[chas08]

Good choice MP. That Browning will serve you well. I've had a BPS 10 ga for 20+ years and it has been flawless. I moved up to an SP-10 last year because of a bad shoulder, but the BPS has its place reserved in my arsenal forever. Good hunting.....chas

870 super mag. Mine has been dropped in the river and lake many of time without fail even with ice on the action. Cheap and reliable.

Did you post this in the "why not a semiauto for defense?" thread?

Jammed up!

"well today was the second day in a row that my winchester 1200 jammed up when i need it to work"

What do you mean by "jammed up?" Exactly what happened?

I just bought a Supernova 12/26" in Max-4 camo the other day and have used it flawlessly. Before that I had a buddy who had a Nova that he has had for a few years and never had an issue. They do seem a bit more bulky, but they are tanks and you can beat the heck out of them with no consequences. Mine is a bird gun and I'll probably use for clays occasionally, but my friend's gun has worked perfectly after many seasons in the fields and blinds. Benelli quality is nothing to laugh at. I think you would be very happy with a Supernova. The ComforTech stock really does help, as well as the adjustable shims.

Sure is a pretty gun IMHO

it would shot the fist shell just fine....when i went to pump the second one.....it would lock.....the gun has always needed to be pump with a little "balls".....i just couldn't miss shots on birds anymore. I'm very happy with my BPS....i can't say enuf good things about it thus far

My mistake...I must have missed back a page where I saw you made your decision. I have no experience with the BPS, but congrats on your purchase and good luck in the field! I'm sure you will not regret your decision

Replace the shell stops in the 1200

Sounds like the W1200 has worn shell stops. This will lead to magazine double feeds. Until you get both the right and left shell stops replaced, just use the gun as a two shot repeater. It cannot double feed with only one shell in the magazine.

BPS is a very good gun, i have a 12g in shadowgrass camo that i have not been kind too and it keeps chugging. im a lefty so its a perfect gun for me.

its been used to break ice, paddle boats, retrieve birds, and occasionally shoot things. everybody will say tthe BPS is hard to field strip and your first time it sort of is. putting the trigger group back in is the only part thats harder then an 870 or 500. and after doing it twice it is not hard at all for me.
