I received the gun this morning, it is in great shape. It has been shot or at least the action has been cycled a few times and there is a ding or two on the buttstock but you have to look for them. Too pretty to take to the field, I will pattern it out of curiosity to see how it shoots and use the old Savage. Well, maybe use it for some fall dove hunting.

It is supposed to improve patterns and velocity to some degree. I tracked down a modified tube and a wrench, it is supposed to have a full tube in it. I bought it because it was pretty, won't use it much because I don' use my old Savage pump much. Thanks again.

Thanks SecondChance. I have the Browning chokes, full, modified and imp. cylinder. I took the full out and put the modified in after lubing it up good with breech plug/choke grease. I won't be shooting it much and will remove the choke tube with each cleaning and clean the threads. I may get the extra full later on, it is an extended tube. I clean guns a lot more then I shoot them so I don't think I will have any problems.

The Browning BPS is one of my favorite shotguns. You have to love the slick smooth action as well as the strength of the receiver. I also like the bottom ejection and the fit and finish is one of the best in the business.
