Bought one of these when I lost my apartment. Bought a good tent, one of these and a duffel to carry both it and a good sharp saber. I will keep myself plenty safe.
You can own the 18" security model, and install a TactaLoad 5 buttstock and a side saddle, and with practice, you now have a versatile and super reliable shotgun that can deliver up to 16 shells of pure mayhem. The Maverick 88 is a joy to own, shoot, and the price you pay for one feels really good too.
If I'm not mistaken I believe the magazine tube can be unscrewed from the receiver. Would it be possible to order the 5 round magazine tube from Mossberg ?
JCON told me to get the 20” he said the more shots the better just in case and I trust him. There are some rare barrels that will fit the 20’ magazine tube but are very hard to find.
Wait this is making me the confusions. The model you’re showing is no different than the Mossberg 500 Persuader. So IT IS NO DIFFERENT than a 500, other than the trigger group. So they did tell you. It’s the Maverick version of the 500 Persuader. You could make the same claims if you were comparing a 500 Persuader to a 500 18.5”.
I have never heard of the 500 Persuader before. I can tell you for sure that the forearm of the Maverick 88 is NOT the same as the 500. The 500 forearm has a tube under the forearm is my understanding. The 88 does not. I think you can put a 500 forearm on the 88. Most 500 stocks will fit on the 88 however if you choose the Magpul SGA adjustable stock it will fit, but you need to loosen the stock to remove the trigger group. I did that and it is a Pain! The 18.5 " barrels have a different Magazine Tube length than the 20" which changes the barrel/magazine lug position.
While these facts may be Obvious to some of us, there are those who are new to guns and shooting and need a little clarification. I'm sorry if I offended you by stating something so obvious. Hopefully, it will help a newbe!
Mossberg will not support these shotguns. Been waiting more than 3 years for a 18 1/2 inch barrel. Mossberg claims they are out of stock. Three years out of stock ??? Come on Mossberg you had decent customer service for 100 years. What happened ?
Yup. Have a 1969 500A, 30" barrel that the "SINGLE ACTION BAR" broke and can't be replaced😢. Also have an 18.5" barrel that I bought for the 500 before the mishap. Both fit perfectly on my new Maverick88 28" model. 😁

I bought the 20 inch for capacity and usefulness. Great for home defense and hunting, whatever you need it for.
Considering a lot of barrels are $200, ya could get another Mav 88 for around the same price. Regardless, thx for the heads-up.

Thanks 4 the FYI and clarity!
Your very welcome.
I like the 20" version. I have one, and it's really great. :D
I’m glad I got the 18.5” Thank you 🙏🏿
Same here. 18.5 in flat earth.
Same here.
@@anthonygerber8261 bro I love It
@@major1on1 I literally just bought mine. I can't wait to take it out! ✌️
@@anthonygerber8261 lol bro watch out for those 1500+ FPS Slug rounds lol they will kick your ass.
Great video. You’ve helped me on my decision on the 88 I’m going to get. Thank you.
You are welcome.
11+1 and 6 mini shells in the side saddle running the opsol adapter
As cheap as these are I just bought a whole new mav 88 instead of the barrel alone. It was only about $65 more to get another gun altogether.
If I'm not mistaken I believe the magazine tube can be unscrewed from the receiver. Would it be possible to order the 5 round magazine tube from Mossberg ?
Yes I believe can but then you 20" barrel can not be used.
To change them back and forth would be possible but not fun.
JCON told me to get the 20” he said the more shots the better just in case and I trust him. There are some rare barrels that will fit the 20’ magazine tube but are very hard to find.
I like the 20".
If you use the 1 3/4" mini shells you can load 12 +1.
88 is Great
18.5 is easier to maneuver around the home, a side saddle will carry the leftovers. But if you need them you got the wrong gun or you’re a bad shot
If you can’t hit the bad guy with a shotgun you better believe in JCON cause you will meet him
Nice video
Thanks
I have the Security 6. 5 in the mag tube 1 in the chamber.
So change it the magazine tube to the 5+1 and everything should line up.
Lol i tell you wat im going to go buy the 18.5 inch 1 i already got the 20 inch
Or buy the combo version.They are cheaper comes with 2 barrels.
What does the 88 stand for?
Don’t quote me but I believe 1988 was the year it was first introduced.
@@ATS357You are Correct.
I think the Mossberg Maverick 88's are just as good as the 500 and 590 series shotguns.
Yes you are right. The biggest
difference is the 500 action is silky smooth compared to the Maverick 88.

You are so right! I have also been trying to get an 18 1/2" for a 20 gauge for about 3 years at least two.
Too busy selling complete units.
Great video, appreciate the info. I bought the 28 in. Model. will that accept the other barrels?
You are welcome!
