[Looking at an 870, worried about reloading speed]

Any opinions on the BPS? It can be bought with a factory 22" barrel. I've seen one in competition and it looked very slick.

[Looking at an 870, worried about reloading speed]

I'm looking to get a setup for Heavy Metal and have an opportunity to get an 870 for relatively cheap. Can't find much about reloading it using quad and twin loading styles. I currently shoot a 1301 and load twins. Will I still be able to do this without a problem with the 870's 3" chamber? Or is there a better shotgun that's much better suited. I am aware of the Super Nova but not sure it's worth the premium over the 870.

[Beretta 1301 Comp]

Well I got one of these guns in the 24" flavor and shot quite a bit with it this week, performed great. Just took it apart to clean it and once it was back together I noticed I had an extra part....

A small O-ring was left sitting on the table and I have no idea where it came from. It looks very similar, if not identical, to the O-ring that is on the firing pin retainer. Any ideas?

EDIT: Mystery solved, found a schematic on Brownells. It is, in fact, an identical O-ring but goes on the firing pin itself. Did not notice it I removed the firing pin spring.
