Couple weeks ago I got the full size 12 gauge Maverick 88 from big 5 in Vancouver shoots great, I picked up the adapter for shooting the mini shells going to try that out sometime

these are excellent pump shotguns

Nice. The Maverick 88 was my first shotgun and I have shot multiple cases of 00 buckshot shells over the years with my 88.

I had a 500 a long time ago, I should have kept it

I know someone who has the 6" version of this. Got the opportunity to shoot it. I felt it
was quite mangeable. I only tried bird and buck but next time, I will try with slugs.
Mini-shells worked well with the Opsol adapter. It has quick pointability for close in jobs

I am finding it very difficult to locate one to purchase . No one has any so I'll have to keep searching ,

There are a couple of different Maverick 88's, I have the 7+1 model while my oldest son has the 5+1

I love my Maverick 88. Wish I would have gotten the 20in with the 7 shot though.

I did upgrade mine with Blackhawk adjustable recoil reduction stock. Also added a 590 action slide and nut with a Houge Overmolded Forend. Also tossed a $30 heatshield and xs big dot sights.....

Shoulda just bought the 590a1 I saw for 450 in February.......but least it's been fun.

Still looking for a 590a1 trigger group for the all metal and no safety. Also thinking about cutting the barrel and adding a breacher tip to get back to 18"

I got a picture.
This is my 88. All I've done to it is to add the sling. The sling's on backwards because I carry it muzzle down. I've considered a handguard and a set of fiber optic/ghost ring sights. The sights make sense, the handguard is just fluff.
These are inexpensive shotguns that work flawlessly. I recommend them highly, especially if money is tight.

I have the 5+1 model for my Maverick 88 as well. I bought a side saddle that holds 6 extra shells, and a tri-rail so I can mount a light. I also have a sling but I needed to buy an attachment for the barrel nut since it not come with a swivel by default.

just saw this finish and thought it was cool so I'll add that for kicks

Can I ask what the advantage of the 18.5 inch barrel on a 88 would be? Thanks. Frank,

Home defense??
Clearing rooms with a 28" barrel would kinda suck

Not only home defense, but personal defense in the great outdoors. Alternating Buckshot and slugs in the mag gives one the firepower to stop darn near anything and the shorter barrel is easier to pack around and maneuver in tight quarters.

I put it in the car when I go on road trips west of the cascades
