Thanks fellas...John, If he has any physical issues this may not be the gun for him due to that pumping thing. At least when it's new, it's not a pleasurable thing. Opening the pump arm being the worst part.IMO a 362 with a steel breech may be a better choice for him.
John, remember, the MK2 is a tall gun. It's a pretty good reach to open that pump arm all the way. And it has to be opened all the way for each stroke.That said, when I owned the Aspen and Freedom I would lay them across my lap belly up and pump them.That's a good point James.

I find the belly up in the lap method best for comfortable pumping, I use that for harder to pump guns, and the DFMK2 after an hour or so of solid shooting.
