The Mossberg Maverick 88 is a budget-friendly, pump-action shotgun produced by O.F. Mossberg & Sons since 1988, widely recognized as "the working man's shotgun" for its reliability and versatility in both hunting and home defense.
Key Specifications and Features
Action and Construction: It utilizes a twin-bolt locking system with dual extractors, twin action bars, and an anti-jam elevator for reliable cycling. The receiver is aluminum, while the stock and forearm are typically made of synthetic material.
Caliber and Capacity: Available primarily in 12 Gauge (with some 20 Gauge models), it features a 3-inch chamber. Capacity 5+1
Barrel Options: Configurations include the Security model (18.5" or 20" barrel, cylinder bore), Field/All-Purpose models (26"–28" barrels, often with vent ribs and interchangeable chokes), and Slug models (24" barrel).
Interchangeability: Most external parts, including barrels, stocks, and magazines, are interchangeable with the more expensive Mossberg 500 series, though the trigger groups are not interchangeable.
All-Purpose/Field: Equipped with longer barrels (26"–28") and often interchangeable choke tubes, making it suitable for hunting and sporting clays.
The Maverick 88 is assembled in Eagle Pass, Texas, using some parts manufactured outside the US to maintain its low price point while retaining the core durability of the Mossberg 500 platform.
