I made this fairly quick, and i'm new at modeling. still has alot more work needed, but hopefully a good start?

Problems: pump, stock, and to boxy.

You're forgetting wireframes, go pull out some real quick. You know the drill-straight from viewport shots, please

Well I'll tell you right off the bat that the shape of everything is wrong. Start by looking at high res references (there's plenty, this shotty has been around for a long time) and breaking down each feature into basic shapes.

Do what snaf says. I'm not even that familiar with the gun and I can already tell the pump's shape is very off, and that the stock you have is pretty boxy.

I'll get to work on those problems, and here are the wireframes.

Delete every edge that isn't actually forming a shape.

I'd say you have too many segments in the back.

In all of those wireframes, you failed to show a simple overview of the entire gun. Just take the gun model and duplicate it, rotate it 180 degrees, lower it under the original gun, and render that.
