I like the idea, 250cc is a standard length aea 52mm air tube, so theres no need to cut and re-thread the existing tank. It's probably cheaper buying it. You just need the barrel and shroud cut down and threaded. For refrence my s45 has a 250cc rear tank on it and the tube itself measures 8 7/8".

There is a set screw going through the trigger gaurd that presses against the regulator housing. I tighten up the set screw on mine to stop the flex

the most important things I would say is
1. A latch on the magazine to lock it in place.
2. A flat on the barrel tread adapter so you can tension the barrel.
3. A wheel on the hammer spring so you can adjust it easily. Requires a little mod to the stock see my video.https://youtu.be/aLfYoGqeckU?si=2mYdrD2iT0YmfKFp
3a. Incorporating in adjustable stock length.
4. A faster twist rate so you can shoot longer high bc boat tail slugs.
5. A bottle adapter so you can use carbon fiber tanks(saber tactical has made one iut soon.)
6. A little more machining done to reduce weight.
