“For what it's worth *most* pumps use stamped shell stops.” OK.

Also for what it’s worth most pumps use a lot of pressed parts. That’s why I bought an Ithaca in the first place. The parts in mine are all machined. In fact the pressed ejector on the new 870s is one reason the empty just sorta falls out and isn’t kicked out. I’m willing to pay the price for craftsmanship, if it can be found today.

Yeah, that's a thought. Only most of the gun shows around here don't usually have Ithacas. The few times they do they're beat up P.D. models.
