Shotguns, Maverick series

[BP]

Is there a huge difference between these and the regular 500s? I know the trigger can't be interchanged but what about barrels and stocks? They are really cheap. It won't be used for hunting at all, mainly for home defense and show. I might take it skeet shooting every once in a while.

I think the biggest difference is the receiver. Can't remember all the differences but know the safety is on the trigger guard on the 88 and on the "tang"of the 500.

We sell more Maverick 88's than any other shotgun and I haven't seen a single one come back to be sent off for repair...

Biggest difference is you can't put an mag extension tube on the mavericks and fewer aftermarket parts are available for it.

I have a maverick 88 and I've had no problems with it dove or deer hunting.

You can but you have to swap out part from its more expensive counterpart.

I hate to recommend someone pay money for a Mossberg 500, but here we are. Don't bother with the Maverick, dude.

Cheap closet gun. Don't expect it to be a show piece. Solid work horse.

I say spend a bit more for a remi express.

cheap guns I keep around the house/garage/barn. They go bang when you pull the trigger.
