Nothing like a shotgun for pure firepower
Maverick88 my first shot Gun, my first love.You will be by my side till the day I depart this world. If heaven permits, you and I will be in Heaven together. Good vid Bro.
The 88 is going to be my first gun too.
Infamous C I got mine last week. going to the range next week.
outstanding
Sok Kamara amen my shotgun brother
I shed a tear to your beautiful words brother
I have this shotgun and you can definitely change the forend and it is not very difficult they have videos for it on here.
Yes. I changed mine out with a Mossberg 500 and it does fit. you have to disassemble the 88 a little but it will fit.
Recently swapped the factory forend with a pistol grip forend on my maverick 88. Definitely doable.
Correct
I've seen a video or 2 saying you can change (they showed upgrades). Looking for a good forend for my future M88 purchase
Not mad at that.......
I own both also. I bought a 1983 Mossberg 500 from a pawn shop. It wasn't in nice condition. I brought it home and strip cleaned it and sanded and re-blued the barrel and mag tube. Put a new safety on it and she looks brand new! I have owned several 88's and they are great shotguns for the money! I never had one let me down...not once! Now I want a 590 but they are no where to be found in 2020. Make more guns Mossberg!!!!
Bought mine yesterday for $ 218.99, best money I ever spent !
I just paid $399 for one of these in NY. It’s getting increasingly difficult to find guns and ammo around here.
Great video. My opinion on the mag capacity is this, if I can't get it done with five I don't need to worry about 8. Good firearms, very inexpensive and reliable.
I heard that ! If five rounds of 12 gauge don't stop it then it was a pretty bad event . thanks for the comment , im glad you liked the video
I hear they a lot. Catchy phrase. But one thing I'd point out is that bad guys often travel in packs. Very safe than sorry. I noticed the side saddle to carry more shells. Imagine 8+1, plus the side saddle on the stock or Velcro on the side of the revenue. Receiver. Instead of 5 or 6, you get at least 14-15. Much better than just 5 in case you're not dealing with just a single threat.
Good video though!!
My opinion on mag capacity is this, if I can’t get it done with 5, then one of the next three should do it. I also use my shotgun for recreation, not just self defense or hunting, so the more capacity the better.
I disagree completely. wait until the zombies come - you're going to need all the capacity you can get

I have a 500 but I couldn't resist this one at that price. Fast becoming my favorite.
Subbed, slick intro , very professional - no nonsense with Dubstep or Heavy rock music. Just honest, original content, Kudos.
Great job on the review. I have a couple of the 88s. FYI: Eagle Pass Texas is in Maverick County, hence the name.
Great video, with the money I can save getting this over the Mossberg 500 I can put towards the sling, flashlight, and ammo holder.
Thanks buddy! Your right about the savings ! for a pretty low cost you could set this thing up nice ..
How much money does one saves with this over the 500?
@@nicolasfarah2092 I chose the Mossberg 500, over the Maverick. Saved about $75 dollars at the time I bought it.
I ran a Maverick 88 (20” 7+1) through a Shotgun course right out of the box. Over 200 rounds the first day, straight from the cardboard box and not a single problem. It patterned a little to the left past 20 yards, but I wasn’t the only one. One participant had a Benelli M1014, a couple 590’s and 870’s, and my Mav didn’t flinch at all. I have since put a light, sling and shell holder on it, and it’ll do anything I need it to.
I was going to buy the 20 inch until I found the tube wouldn't fit any other barrel SO I got the 18.5 5 +1 A friend gave me a 28 inch barrel.
I'm ordering the Oppo 1.75 inch shorty shell adapter and some Aquilla short shells for home defnse.
I am on a strict budget but wanted a shotgun for home defense and just recreational shooting. A friend told me about the 88 so I went down to the local gun store and picked one up. I paid just under $200.00. I have never regretted the purchase. This little shotgun (18 inch barrel) eats any load I put in it. It fit my budget and it is reliable.
Outstanding review. Great attention to details that other videos don't have, particularly about the reach for the fore-end and the length of the maverick in comparison to the 500. Great work.
Thank you very much !
I absolutely love this channel I love the correspondence. The feedback, the detail to the maverick 88 I won’t multiples the shooting skill and every detail that you provide you sir are a gift to TH-cam and I absolutely love it. I would hang out and drink beer with you and go over shotgun, pattering, and techniques anytime
It's a great shotgun for the money. Got 3 of them.
Very nice review. Huge thanks for sharing. Haven't been able to find one until yesterday. Really jacked up to try it out.
I just bought a new Maverick 88 and put about 16 rounds of various shells in it... and YES it does have a recoil! I'm a fairly stout 66 yr old, but I definitely felt the recoil shooting from both shoulders. I guess age has caught me! However, I do love the gun!
Get yourself a 7mm Rem Mag and put a few rounds through it... you'll never notice the recoil on the scattergun again! LOL!
How are you holding up there, ol timer? Are you still toting that 88 around?
Great video bought a maverick 88 yesterday you made me feel like I got a good one !! Watching you from central KY thanks
'If you're a t-rex'.......made me laugh
Same 😂
I own 6 mossbergs. 1 pre 68 12 gauge 500, 3 20 gauge 500's, 1 88 security 12 gauge and 1 88 standard 12 gauge. Love mossbergs.
Great review, thanks for sharing.
That 3" was wicked ! 💥😉 Love my Mossy! Great vid thx boss !
I think for home defense situation only I would actually grab my 88 over my AR, seriously
I live in a state that went from being fairly pro gun to having hard left anti gun politicians including the AG being nearly in control. All thanks to California transplants. I had a local cop tell me straight up to use a pump gun over an AR in a home defense situation as he didn't trust the county DA to rule it as self defense if I used an AR "weapon of war"🙄
You can change the forend out with parts from mossberg on line . Ebay !
Good shotgun for the money even better
Very good review. Informative and helpful. Thanks!
My favorite gun of all time!
Great video. Thank you for posting. Be well
I have this one.Thanks for the video
The recoil of any shotgun is primarily dependent on the type of ammunition chosen.
agreed. might i recommend the limb saver slip on recoil supressor. it's amazing. my arm gets bruses after 10-15 shots normally, bu with the limb saver (i'm totally not paid by the company), you can shoot all day. seriously, try one out man. my shoulder as an older man has a lot of problems, the limb saver has literally saved my shoulder. lol. gl man
got mine two weeks ago, and yes you can change the slide action, i just changed mine out.
Have a Maverick 88, have only shot 7.5 birdshot thru it, have not had any issues with FTF or FTE at all, gonna take it to the range and put some slugs thru it. It is a great gun for the price.
Nice Brother, thanks!
Well done...Thank you.
Good review. for the length of pull, I'm a smaller guy at about 5'4 140. Really comfortable to shoot. Easy to get tight in the pocket of your shoulder.
Thanks, I'm 5' 6" 150 and I agree !
For 5’6” and under, the max LOP should be 12” to maximize fit and recoil management
Nice jacket and great video.
TY Sir appreciate the words Best Regards
Great video. I love my Maverick and I would trust it with my life. I put on an ATI one piece shoulder stock/pistol grip non adjustable stock and it works great. This stock makes it easy to shoot one handed. Subbed.
Dies it come with a barrell for hunting? A long one?
Love my maverick 88 shot all types of ammunition and zero issues it’s an excellent gun
great video, really liked the slow motion stuff. I've been carrying a maverick 88 in the truck for about 6 years and it's seen a ton of use and never had a problem. I do wanna say that there are 88s with removable forearms though because mine has one and I've seen 2 others in pawn shops. The removable ones look a little different than the ribbed forearm like yours. Not sure why mossberg did that on some of them but they are out there
Really appreciate it man! Thanks for the info on the forend also .. Someone commented here a while back and made the point that you could just take a mossberg 500 tube assembly and put it on the maverick so that all mossberg forends would fit it.. glad to hear your 88 is holding up good ! I really think its a solid shotgun.. Thanks for watching and commenting , have a great day..
good shooting. yup i got a Mav88 just like yours it's a great gun.
Still not sure if i will get the 88 or the 500 for my first shotgun, personally prefer wood over plastic, as for your video your the real deal man, have subbed and looking out for more quality , no nonsence gun videos from you. Keep up the good work.
I just purchased the 88 as my first shotgun 2 hours ago, for me personally it was for home defense, so although I like wood better, I don’t think someone looking down the other end of the barrel would notice the difference, and I’m not trying to break the bank.
Great video, amigo.
Good video thanks i bought one
I just bought one last week,I watched a lot of reviews and they all pointed to "GO" And from the sounds of your commenters I made a good move.
GREAT REVIEW. THANKS
+ Paul Fox thank you sir
That intro got a like from me, very nice.
Great Vid Brother! Just subscribed. I love My Mav88. I get happy just racking the slide. That "T-Rex" comment had Me laughing too. That's why they don't carry Pump Action Shotguns!
Nice Review!
Awesome video. This is next on my list to buy.
Thanks +Ryan Bales . the only trouble i have had so far is a couple of miss fires from shallow firing pin strikes so this might be only a rare problem but be sure and check your primer for good strikes . I don't think i have heard of anyone else having this problem so it's more than likely just a fluke. If you get one I would love to hear how it holds up .. thanks for commenting and have a great day
Thanks for the information +Mitch Robinson , I will try that out .
Good Video, I have a Mossberg 835 Ulti Mag. I have had good luck with it.
Thanks +Rick Nethery . My cousin has an 835 Ulti Mag that i have been wanting him to sell me for awhile . I have always been a big fan of Mossberg. Glad to hear yours is performing well
Thumbs up brother 👍🏻 cool video.
I’m soon getting one but with the long barrel. I have a Stevens savage 320 pump home defender by the bed. I have it loaded with 3 inch #4. I live in apartment so I don’t want to blow through walls with buck shot or a slug
Generally it's hard to get an idea of how powerful a gun is on video... not this one. That Mossberg sounds really powerful.
Awesome video dude
Thanks +David Flores
I really like mine
Hogue 12 lop stock really makes it a great home defense shotgun. Being a smaller guy the regular stock is way too long. I've heard that Leo use it because it's easier to handle with body armor.
T-rex !!! Lmao!!! Good video!! I love my Maverick!!
If i was going to be dropped in the middle of nowhere, i would feel well armed with this shotgun. So versatile and packs a huge punch for large game with slugs and small shot for squirrels and such. Almost feel invincible. Definitely take it over my AK.
i love mine
Just bought a used 88 with a 20” barrel and 7+1 capacity for $150. I prefer the tang safety on the 500 series, but I can’t complain considering the price and it’s specific use for HD and just beating to hell and back.
Docprepper you paid almost full price.
@@Dfm253yeah i would have bought new at that juncture.
Great video
Thank you +Darius Parks .. glad you liked it..
I bin looking at them i will get one soon i hav a Mossberg semi 930 i luv it i want a pump i also hav a Remington 12 gauge semi had it 15 years shoots great but im going to get a Maverick 88 i luv my shot guns like u said u can put a Variety of shells in it as long as u no what ur doing great video Thanks
You can change the forend just gotta take the whole thing off. Has to be compatible with the 88 though, every part is interchangeable with the 500 except the trigger because of the saftey and the forend
"With a 12 gauge shotgun you can take anything on the planet"... hell yeah! LOL! I ve just bought one of those 88 5+1, never owned a shotgun before, but the versatility of the ammunition always made me curious about it.
thanks for commenting +efreitor Sroul . Dang right! load that 12 with a 3 inch slug and the possibilities are endless
This makes me sound dumb, but will it fire Remington magnum 000buck?
@@nolanpresley07 the manual says it can fire 12/76,. I am not sure if this is considered magnum or what.
@@nolanpresley07 yes it can fire 3 inch magnum slugs
Nice video. Subscribed.
I do the same thing when I hear the police coming...time to go....lol...nice video #Salute
Cool ending.
thanks ! glad you liked it.
You need a sling swivel stud on the back to keep the buttstock shell holder from slipping forward.
I bought mine 2 day's before Christmas. Same gun, same price 189.99 from Dick's!
Different barrel lengths are interchangeable for your model, but NOT for the 20” 8 round model because of the permanent lug location on the barrel that attaches to the front of the magazine tube.
What happened to you? Your content and presentation are great. Just discovered your channel and see it's been inactive for a while
Just got mine and have 3 different stocks for it and will be getting a streamlight for it next
Yes you can change out the forearm you just need the 500 slide assembly
I like that hat 👍
Hell ya ol son!
My first shotgun as well, I still have not shot it ..
Grew up on the 500.. my first gun was a 20 guage.. got the 88 for Christmas and damn I miss the tang safty... is what it is.. the 88 will get someone out my house in a hurry.. if I allow it
I have this shotgun. I have the t rex arms. Will have practice a lot with this gun.
I'm a t rex I grabbed a hogue 12 lop threw on a limbsaver to add a comfortable inch of comfort. This was one of the first video I watched on the mav 88 where did you go
I wonder if it has a set up for a sling. I thought about that when you were shooting it from the hip.
Love this shotgun. It is sad though, Mossberg customer service does not support this firearm. I have been waiting three years for a 18.5 inch barrel. Mossberg says " out of stock ". Come on...three years !!!
yo tengo una Mavericks 88 muy buen arma para caza menor y mayor espeialmente exelente para patos duck la recomiendo a me me dio buenos resultados un daludo a todos desde santiago chile 2016
+Sonia Aviles Mercado .
Me alegra saber que está Ejoying el Maverick 88 y que tiene la caza exitosa con él . Gracias por ver y comentar usted. Que tengas un gran día
You could change the for end buddy..and those nitro mag are no joke
Thanks for the review! Lots of videos on how to change the forend. You need to buy a Mossberg 500 action slide tube.
Thanks Matt Jones ! I May try that out soon . The forend doesn't bother me too bad but I would prefer a little better one. I guess I shouldn't complain so much for $199.99 LOL. Thanks for watching and providing the information , have a great day.
BlockShawOutdoors No problem. Just watch a video or 2 on how to do it. Only downside is they cost 40-50 bucks. Which may or may not be a downside. Anyhow take it easy!
Please do a comparison of the 88 and the Turkish-made, Hatsan Escort 'Slugger'. Both are low-priced, pump shotguns.
YEEEEHAAAA!!!!!!
I have the same setup but I believe it's a 19 and a half inch Sir
the recoilllllllll!!!! rrrrr
I have the same and its good shootin' fun ! Good vid, new subscriber ...
Thanks buddy! glad you liked it. thanks for watching ,have a great day
+BlockShawOutdoors hey what ammo do u use for homed defense
+Irv Drake - 2-3/4" 00 Buckshot and I keep it in curiser ready and my GP 100 w/ 158 grain ... I'd like to see you do a vid on the GP 100 ... I'm a Wheeler kind of guy as daddy raised me on them and shotguns
thanks for commenting +Irv Drake! I personally like anything from #4 shot to maybe #1 buckshot for inside the home , and I keep a couple of 00 bucks on the shotgun in case I need them . of course if you can run 00 buck all the time then that would be great as well but the only problem is buckshot in general and especially large buck like 00 and 000 goes through a lot of sheetrock and wood . And I know everyone has their own opinion on what to use and obviously it will depend mostly on if people live and where in the house with you . I hope this helps and thanks for watching, have a great day
+BlockShawOutdoors - thanks. When the kiddies were living at home I had bird shot and now different home / differing circumstances .... Keep up the great work as I dig your vids ..... Peace
Try reversing the holster shells for faster reload ...pushing down instead of pulling up...
I Bought a leather shell holder for the butt stock of my Maverick 88. Laces up at the very bottom and keeps the shell holder in place it doesn't slide at all. it's around $30 on eBay.
thanks man! I will have to check that out
Have both 20" and 18.5" and both are very reliable.
thats one bad dude!!! 😎😎
Thanks for commenting +Jorge Garza .. The Maverick really is one bad dude . It has to be the best ( Bang for the buck ) on the market right now .. Thanks for watching ,Have a great day ..
+BlockShawOutdoors lol i have a maverick 88 the exact same way you show on your video, i was reffering to you!! Awesome way you manuver that riffle, made me subscribe to your channel sir!!!
+Jorge Garza Well thank you very much for saying so and for subscribing , I really appreciate that . But at best i'm Barney Fife with a cowboy hat . LOL.
Put a sling pin on the stock
Nice jacket. Who makes it?
I have a question for anybody about kick. I’m not really much of a shotgun guy, infrequent sporting clays or trap. Just for giggles, I swapped out my Mav 88 barrel with an 18 1/2 inch barrel. In the past I’ve been able to shoot this gun all day long for sporting clays and such. But I’ve never shot this with buckshot. Then, I found that if I ever did need this in a nighttime defense situation, the LOP could to catch on clothing if I pulled it up quickly. So I decided to swap out the butt stock with a shorter Houge. I also put a nice little light on the end, and figured I was good to go. So, I finally got a chance to shoot some buckshot. Very painful! By shell number 7 or 8, I was flinching and bruised. I’m 60, 5’10”, 180, not a lot of upper body muscle. Any advice or tips or experience you can share with me?
Cougar or bear you might need to shoot from the hip lol
Would the 18.5 inch barrel be good for deer hunting ?
Can you change the barrel and tube out to make it a 91?
