Here's what I think I'd really like in a pump shotgun. It could work for a semiauto too, I suppose.
-Steel receiver, side ejection.
-Tang mounted safety (ala Browning or Mossberg), big, easy to see/feel, and made of steel.
-Parkerized or more durable finish.
-Ghost ring sights, protected by wings.
-Blade front sight, securely mounted into the barrel.
-7 or 8 round magazine tube, depending on barrel length.
-3.5" chamber, for maximum ammo versatility.
-Sling swivel studs, with option for mounting over-the-shoulder style sling.
-Hammer forged, chrome lined barrel.
-Interchangable chokes, for maximum shot pattern versatility.
-Steel trigger guard, trigger, safety, etc.
-Nice, decent trigger, possibly military two-stage.
-Winchester 1300 style rotary bolt, making the action slick as butter right out of the box. This would also be able to cycle Aguila mini-shells, again, for maximum ammo versatility.
-Weaver rail mounted on top of the receiver, for the option to mount optics.
-Optional heat shield, for people like me who will add a feature simply because it looks cool.
-Handguard can be replaced with one that accepts a forend light.
-Different style stocks. Standard ones, folding ones, pistol grip ones, and a pistol-grip stock that's fully adjustable for length of pull. Similar to the Benelli M4, but with four positions like an M4 Carbine stock, instead of all the way in or all the way out.
-Completely ambidextrious design. "Right side ejection?" you ask? Yes. As a lefty, I LIKE right side ejection. It makes it very easy to drop a shell in the chamber without removing your firing hand from firing grip. This would include an ambidextrious, easy to manipulate slide release.
-Folding stocks and such would be made of steel, with nice cushy buttpads.
-Sidesaddle option.
-Trigger loop and controls big enough for use with heavy winter gloves (some of us live where it's cold).
-Very easy to disassemble without tools.
For me, anyway, this gun would combine the best features of a variety of different guns on the market. I would like it, even if no one else would.
