I had told Spooner earlier I had the Maverick pump handle coming.... here it is.... makes pumping a lot nicer!
I did an almost similar mod to my 13xx forearm using a Tactical Innovations 10/22 rail:You could install Pica rail covers to make it more comfy when pumping.Eventually, I got rid of the plastic parts and settled for a Vernon Austin laminate set.

So. Were I to want to choose one upgrade, I'm getting the feeling it should be the steel or aluminum breech because of:1) The ability to mount an optic.2) better securing of the rearward portion of the barrel thus preventing barrel rotation?3) ? The above are pretty significant improvements I'll agree. Flat topping a pump cylinder for a scootch more pump volume and power (?) is a thing but not knowing the construction of the pump system I'm not clear. Perhaps that is something I could do on my metal lathe... I'll make my own stock, new grips and fore arm wood so there's that expense saved.Thank you all as always.Don

With regard to the custom shop... I called and ordered a new Realtree 1377 stock for my new build. I asked her directly about placing custom shop orders on the phone for CCS guns. She told me there is a barrel shortage and is the reason for the shop being down. No word on when the shortage will be corrected, but that's the info she gave me.
Now gents, what else do I need to get to make this a stunning tack driver (new, younger eyes would be good but they're not available). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.Stay safe, stay healthy.Cheers,Ted
