but it seems that an 870 is so simple even I could repair it, is it REALLY that simple? is there something besides the ejector(riveted) that I couldn't do myself?

thanks!
OR, (for one not mechanically inclined) you might make it worse. The old saying, if it aint broke comes to mind. You don't want to enter the Bubba zone. To answer your question, YES the 870 is pretty simple, but so are others.
