They sure do. So is that what you were saying is a browning bps break down?? If so I don't feel as stupid any more since I could not see the easy part in that receiver break down.

I broke it down....o good god. The thing was a pain to break down, Advantage remmy for sure.
How often do you guys breakdown and clean you field guns? I am definitely not looking to break this thing down after every shoot

Unlike the "encapsulated" actions of the breechloading guns the semi/slide action internals are more exposed to the elements. Therefore, a thorough overhaul particularly after prolonged/hard use would be justified.....the task simply needs to be performed with attention to detail, that's all.

I have completely overhauled twice in 18 thousand rounds, took everything apart cleaned lightly oiled and put back together. The nice thing about the Browning is that without an open receiver alot less junk gets into the workings, the action is essentially sealed off when the breech is closed.

No I consider a break down taking the whole gun apart, The first time is HORRIBLE but I found the second wasn't so bad. Like I said above the Browning requires somewhat different care than the open topped Remington.
For the quick field strip there is no difference, but for the total disassembly the 870 is much quicker which is good because I found I needed to clean mine much more.
Cool. We are on the same page. Horrible for the 1st time is putting it mildly. I can do them much better and quicker now but that 1st time I honestly didnot think I would get it back together. Even now I clean the barrel after every shoot and wipe the gun down but may take the entire thing apart once a year unless it gets real wet then I strip it.
i own a bps 12 bore 28 inch barrel and for my kids and wife i bought a bps 20bore micro hunter bought them both at the same time we love them far better than the 870 express or mossberg guns. enjoy yours mine will eat any ammo and wor every time.
Take 3macs1 advice on the oiling it after handling it. Two guys in our deercamp have them and one oils his always and it looks like new, the other didn't and it's pitted with rust everywhere. Another bit of advice is to use browning gun oil on the action in cold weather. The two guys I know both had cycling issues until they spoke to the browning dealer. The oil they were using was too heavy. Both of them would'nt own anything else but browning again. good luck
