TI, aren't you the importer for the short/mini shells? Be nice to be able to get them in a bulk pack... At a discount, naturally 
I got my "factory defect" extractor model today and did a quick comparison with the, um, non-defect "nice" model or whatever, that I got last week.
The "nice" one is very nice, through and through. Nice finish, nice action, smooth hinge, overall very cool gun.
The "defect" has a poorer finish, there are a couple spots that you can see solder where the vent rib is attached to the barrels, there was some light surface rust, and the action is much, much harder to open. Manageable, but definitely stiffer. With the thinner butt pad, the OAL length is reduced to under 23" and even that 5/8" difference is very noticeable when shouldering. But none of these are deal breakers, I might even like this one better than the "nice" one.
The barrels, receivers, stocks and everything are different, no compatible parts that I can tell. The "nice" model appears to be compatible with my Lazer Arms XO12 though.
Finances dictate that I can only keep one of these three. The XO12 has been my hiking buddy for the last little while and is the most practical, with its 12" barrels, chokes and extractors, but I think she might be destined for the EE. Now I just need to decide which SS-211 will join it in looking for a new forever home. Decisions, decisions...

Nope not us!
What cheek/shell holder is that?

And some details on the sling points, particularly the front one , please.
I'm interested in that stock extension you put on, did you just fabricate one from scratch out of wood? I'm thinking about doing something similar to mine.

Something like the chiappa triple threat stock would be nice .
I Cut an old shotgun stock down and removed the small but pad. Did a simple attachment so I can remove it if I ever want to.
I had done a leather slip on for a 44 mares leg and found the recoil would loosen the leather to much. Figured a 12 definitely wouldn't hold up.
Decided to cover with the shell holder rather than refinish and match. This has a nice soft cheek piece as well.

Oddly enough the factory defect ones came with a red FO sight. I would have preferred a green one but I guess I could always swap it out.
I wasn’t planning on buying — until I learned there were some with ejectors, and discounted too.
Mine opens easily and ejects well.
I embraced my inner bubba and used a piece of leather belt to make a hand strap.
Rules had already been broken, so why not.
I used the existing rear Chicago screw, but added locktite and cranked it hard to compress the leather and get a good bite. I had to carefully drill for the front screw, but am fairly confident it is strong and won’t crack. Fingers crossed.
