Long as it's above the minimum length, that's all that matters.
Good job on the build.
Yes sir. And thank you. Something that I love about a mossy Shotgun!!! Still a long way to go. I plan on shooting my stock pile of Aguila mini shells. All I can get in the tube is maybe, just maybe 3, 2-3/4 shells and maybe 6 mini shells.
That's gotta be some sort of record for the shortest action tube and corncob on a pump. Love the build and keep us updated.

That looks a lot better. Nice uniform finish.
A Magpul K2 grip may be more comfortable (and overmolded) since the angle is straighter and more akin to a pistol than the standard AR15 grip.
Your project gun turned out really nice. Good job.
I was a little disappointed that when I got the barrel and mag tube back from the Cerkoter it had a “Prickly” type texture to it. I emailed him and he said just take a 0000 steel wool to it and buff it lightly. My question to him was “Why”??? Where was the quality control and why do I the end user have to do the labor?? Is it normal to have a little texture or should it be as smooth as a baby’s but?? Idk this is my first Cerakote dealing?
It won't be smooth as a babies butt.
But can vary a little because it's dependent on the air pressure and the spray gun you're using and how far away you're holding it while spraying. Even heat and humidity if it's real hot when you're trying to spray if it tries to dry before it contacts the part. All of which can effect the end result.
However, I don't think it should be prickly either.
Perhaps if someone sandblasted it, maybe they didn't clean it right afterwards and before painting ?????
Their airbrush may have been partially clogged and it was trying to throw the clots and an "orange peel" texture?????
Also, DarkPassenger is correct that the black color has more pigment in it. And is a slightly rougher texture than FDE for instance.
Very acute observation.
Cerakote or most any firearm finish won't be as smooth as a nice paint job on a new car. The paint is made different. But shouldn't really be prickly feeling either.
Without being able to feel what you're feeling with your hands, I can't make the determination how you should proceed.
Judging from what I can SEE in the photo's, I don't see any "orange peel" and I can't see any rough texture.
From what I can see, looks pretty good.
