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.
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.
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 ?
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. 😁
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 ?

Considering a lot of barrels are $200, ya could get another Mav 88 for around the same price. Regardless, thx for the heads-up.
I bought the 20 inch for capacity and usefulness. Great for home defense and hunting, whatever you need it for.
11+1 and 6 mini shells in the side saddle running the opsol adapter
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.
Thanks 4 the FYI and clarity!
Your very welcome.
I like the 20" version. I have one, and it's really great. :D
Great video. You’ve helped me on my decision on the 88 I’m going to get. Thank you.
You are welcome.
I have the Security 6. 5 in the mag tube 1 in the chamber.

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
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
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.
Nice video
Thanks
What does the 88 stand for?
Don’t quote me but I believe 1988 was the year it was first introduced.
@@ATS357You are Correct.
Or buy the combo version.They are cheaper comes with 2 barrels.
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.
@@ATS357 Thank you for responding
Great video, appreciate the info. I bought the 28 in. Model. will that accept the other barrels?
You are welcome!

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.
