Great accessories for the Mossberg Maverick 88

- My first gun video. This one is on my new Maverick 88 and the various parts and accessories I have added to it to customize it to my liking. I tell you what works (at least for me) for home defense, tactical, sport, and hunting purposes. Sorry for the mic noises.
Well thought out, informative presentation. I appreciate your taking the time to share your personal insight in such a straightforward, down to earth manner.
I appreciate that!
This is a great first video. Very helpful to me. I just bought a Maverick 88 and appreciate the suggestions you made.
I'm so glad. I hope you enjoy it; the Maverick is a great shotgun. Just customize it as needed.
As the son of a musician (everyone in the family played) I would say "money is always an issue". Good review without going overboard on accessories. Everything you need, nothing you dont!
Thanks. Not everyone has this same opinion as you do, but I tried to keep it reasonable. There were other accessories I've seen that look really cool, but after thinking 'Do I really need that?' I decided against them. I mean, it's already a great shotgun to begin with.
"I can't see ever needing(19 shells)" He said from the comfort of 2019 and not the lawless riot land that is 2020
It's amazing how what seemed completely insane just last year has become accepted reality. Just goes to show you that there's no reason to unnecessarily limit a gun's capacity.
@John Smith I really hope that idiot doesn't get voted in. It will be a cimplete shit show if he does.
Let's just see what happens. Overall, I trust the structure of our country's foundation to keep in check the natural flaws of individual leaders.

I like it man!!! Good mods without overkill. I’m not into the full pistol grip tactical look but like to have some handy tools on it. Nice video!
I do have a pistol grip for it that I've tried, but it's hard to shoot that way. I do prefer the traditional stock.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
Excellent video! You picked a fine shotgun.
Cool scatter gun man. I love me a good old mossberg. You can't go wrong with any of em. Great video and I dig the upgrades
Thanks. It's been a good purchase.
No whining here, nice accessories. Picked up my 500 for $160 in the early 90's on sale, 5shot black with 28" VR and choke tubes. Next week or so shopped a local mart-type store for a cheap UM sling and QD's and stumbled upon a giant Mossy bbl. display all priced under $20 each so I added and 18.5 and 24" deer bbl. on the cheap. Added a side saddle and heat shield for the 18.5. Great versatile shotty on a budget!
All of it sounds great!
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
Great video and thank you for explaining everything!
Glad you liked it.

Already have one, but after watching your video I must get one like yours with the flat earth furniture. It looks great!
My favorite gun color!

Thanks for the video you’ve got the Mav looking good!
Thanks for watching! It wasn't too hard or expensive to do.
Nice video. For my maverick 88 security model I would use the magazine end screw to help mount a bayonet instead of sling. Most of the times it's not needed, but for SHTF, it's good to to have a bayonet mounted. For sling you can just attach to any of the magazine tube mounts.
I was thinking about a bayonet mount, since they are available. I almost bought an FDE one once, but I haven't been able to find it since. I did eventually put this on it. Not quite as deadly, but I wouldn't want it in my gut: th-cam.com/video/MPqFo3dtiY8/w-d-xo.html
I like your setup, thumbs up!
I do appreciate that.
Cool upgrades! 👍
I think so too! I appreciate the comment.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
Got an 88 yesterday. That single point attachment thing is what I'm looking for. I bet I can just use some old backpack strap, with a metal D ring dipped in that soft coat stuff for wires. Just need a body strap now!
Nice setup on your 88. Im gonna get one of these shotguns..Ive seen some other reviews on them..all positive.. Good vid..thanks
Thanks for the comments. It's been over a year now it's still going great.
Highly recommend it
William Scott you will not regret it. It's a great shotgun.
I bought this shotgun 2 weeks ago and I love it.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
Have you seen the little rubber gadget that goes up into the loading port allowing you to feed and RELIABLY cycle the 1.75"shells? They work great and really increase the capacity of the gun. You can get the shells in slug, buckshot and birdshot variants. Plenty of power for defense in slug variant and very recoil friendly. I believe it is called "opsmod variant 2". Like 15 bucks and installs in 10 seconds. Fits the 500 590 and 88's. A must have.
I have and I've read that they aren't that reliable. Is that not the case?
I would definitely put a shell holder or two on it. Flashlight might be a good idea too.
Like what I show in the video?
Bought my m88 a couple years ago. It came with an 18.5 and a 28" barrel. The 28" barrel isn't ported like yours, but it does accept various chokes (Don't recall now, but I think it actually came with some.) I also use it for skeet now and then. $300.
Really Good Video! Thanks!
Thank you!
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
Well thought out mods. Great video. Don't think I'll be breaking into your house to steal your drums.
Thank you. But they're not worth much anyway by this time.
Great video! My son's and I LOVE our Maverick 88! After about 500 rounds it started to stick when trying to eject a round so we finally had to clean it! Lol!
We just wanted to see how many rounds it would take before needing a cleaning- although some CLP spray would have fixed it for another 50 rounds I'm guessing. :-)
Right on. I always have a can of CLP in my range bag. I have a shotgun cleaning kit, but to be honest, I haven't cleaned it yet! I was having trouble with a certain brand of shells sticking in the barrel and not wanting to eject, but I had a gunsmith bore it out just a bit and that cleared right up.
I just bought a 18.5" barrel 5 + 1 Mav 88 in all black. Can't wait to get it and trick it out.
I think you'll like it.
I bought my brother and his wife a basic Maverick 88 24 years ago as a house warming gift for the first house they bought. He has Literally shot the piss out of it and it still shots as good as day one. So I can give a great reference for the Maverick 88's.
Cool. I don't have that long with it, but it's been great so far. But it is a Mossberg, so no surprise.
Nice project you got going on there thanks for the info glad to see another drummer that likes to bang things all different directions LOL.
I'm glad you like it.
Cool video!
Thanks! I wish it were better quality.
Youve got a $1000 defense system there ,that practically anybody could fend off a serious attack with, regardless of their experience. Fir less than $300. Thats the goal 🎯🤙
Good job on all that man. You have a very creative engineering mind. Drummers are the coolest. Ordered mine a few days ago and with everything goin on right now I’m kinda on high nerves until it comes in. Shalom
Thanks. I didn't see the connection, but I'll take it.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
Can you provide links to all the accessories? Would help new 88 owners find the mods easier.
Great video . Where did you get the extra choke tubes ?
just bought mine AND I"m a drummer too!
Cool on both accounts!
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
Nice upgrades, where did the front sight come from? Really like that, will be adding to mine.
I just got the exact same 1 about 2 weeks ago, absolutely love it, i was looking at those shell caddies like the 1 you have on your stock, how is it holding up, is it secure? Price? Name brand?
If you mean the soft one on my buttstock, it's working great and quite secure. The shell holder is attached by velcro and can easily be taken off and put back on. This is what I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VXV4BJZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have seen adapters to the pistol grip, spacers that straighten out the pistol-grip and the stock, or have you taken care of that? Just curious? I also have a Maverick 88, you have a great set up on yours I hope you enjoy it.
Not sure what you mean. I do have a pistol grip that fits, but somehow before it got to me, it got a little twisted or skewed. Not sure how, but I haven't seen any others like that. I got it for a decent price on ebay. Was looking for an FDE one, so they're hard to find. But shooting with the stock is a lot more comfortable.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
that 'cut out' in the stock is for the action release.
Great presentation. However, I have been waiting three years for a replacement barrel for my Maverick 88.
What happened to the original one?
Mosberg's website has it listed at 6.5 lbs., just like most of their shotguns. I haven't weighed it, but there's not really that much added to it. The heat shield and front sight are polymer. The pouch on the stock is fabric. Then there's the grip tape and I usually have the light, the side saddle, and the slugs off when doing most kinds of shooting. The furniture is polymer, so that doesn't ad much weight. It feels pretty light and just like any other modern shotgun.
I like your mods they all seem very functional to me. I will say though you have about 7 different colors going (OD green, coyote tan, grey, black, flat dark earth, camo). It works though!
Well, let's see. The gun is black wit hFDE furniture, which is why it caught my eye. I don't think there's any OD on it; everything I bought was basically tan, but with some things, there wasn't much choice, so the side saddle looks more coyote. The grip tape is grey. I got that because I have grey tape on all my pistols and there's not much choice there. It's either grey or black. The stock pouch is sort of multicam, but I was hoping that wouldn't clash with the FDE.
Lol you guys make your panties match your bras too?

This is all great, but lets talk about those OCTABON'S!! 80's kid for sure!
Actually, Rototoms. I wish I had Octobans.
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 ! Right you are. Octbans are the long tubes... What I wouldn't have given back in the day for a set of those. Great video man. Thanks for the insight on the 88.

Nice video, was wondering where you picked up the decorative tape, and what design used.
Decorative tape where?
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 On the top side of the heat shield, toward the front sight.
@@voyt96 It was something like this, 10mm wide, in the closest match I could get to FDE: www.ebay.com/itm/5pcs-lot-10mm-5m-Solid-Color-Washi-Tapes-DIY-Scrapbooking-Dairy-Adhesive-Tape/232851169472?hash=item363702e0c0:g:-cUAAOSwTfFbMJrh
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
I'd be really worried the sling attachment on the end of the magazine tube (see 4:33 in the video) would get flipped up after a few rounds and then the next shot would smash right into it and ricochet back at you. Have you checked the clearance? Might want to consider moving the sling mount back on the magazine tube.
I'm not sure that's a problem, but I did have to replace it once. In a more recent video, you can see where I installed a short spike on the end of the magazine tube, so I moved the sling mount down to the small rail I mounted there.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
How does the front sight attach, and how does the webbing on the forearm slide attach? Also where is your sling?
Good video, can I get a link to the front fiberoptic sight?
I think it's pretty much this one: www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Mossberg-Remington-12GA-20GA-Red-Shotgun-Fiber-Optic-Front-Sight/322856977469?hash=item4b2bc6843d:g:KL8AAOSw~vpZ-He-
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
So you can use chokes on the 88? I just purchased one and waiting to pick it up. I didnt think it was compatible with chokes so i was a little bummed. Can you confirm that it does or does not accept chokes, please and thank you.
He bought an additional Mossberg 500 28" barrel on Ebay that had choke tubes (watch the video - these are difficult to obtain). The Maverick 88 security line comes with a fixed, cylinder-bore barrel and is not compatible with interchangeable choke tubes.
Yes you can, but it depends on the barrel. The barrel that came with it wasn't threaded for choke tubes. If you can replace that with a barrel that is threaded, then you are good to go.
VFX where did you get the side saddle shell holder? I purchased one and had to return it cause the receiver screw was to short did not reach the plate and the seller had no replacement screws.
This is what I used and the base works nicely. All the hardware fits. The only problem is that the removable shell holder slides a bit from the recoil.
Nice setup you have. Personally I would look for a shorter front sight but that works. Pistol grips are fun toys but forget about accuracy with them, a shotgun needs to be AIMED just like any firearm and shouldered. If you can find a full stock w/ pistol grip you would never have anything else.
Yeah, I keep the stock on. But my pistol grip has an area I can put something like an AR buffer tube, so I have thought about that as an option.
@@TheIndianaJohnson A full stock w/ pistol grip to me is ideal and more comfortable to shoot as well as accurate. YMMV.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
I have a top folding stock with Pistol Grip on mine...not a problem.
You like your percussive instruments.
Where did you get the flashlight from ?
Can you provide greater details and/or a link to the eBay barrel location you reference for the 28" barrel that fits the Security 88 20"?
Not really. I was just watching ebay for Mossberg barrels and someone was selling one that fit. This was the first one I came across and from what I've seen, it's hard to come by these days. If you're looking for a hunting or skeet barrel for this particular shotgun, just keep watching ebay and take notice of the distance between the breech end of the barrel and the attachment lug. Most aren't long enough.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
i would remove the butt stock shell holdewr..its a pain to load from yout stock especially in a self defense scenerio..also the metal shell holder that covers the whole receiver is raised up on top so you can still see your front sight
Since it's attached with velcro, I usually remove the shell holder on the stock when I shoot.
Nice shotty but as you gain more knowledge you will find it best to mount your light on your forearm grip it will give you total control of your light without changing the position off your free hand
Interesting idea. But in order to do that, I'd have to change out the foregrip to have a rail to mount the light on. And I'm not big on having the light on a part that moves back and forth. I do like it on a stable location closer to the muzzle. On my guns playlist, I try out various different shotgun lights: th-cam.com/play/PL-j0Mfj9QbRtYO1EfLrGnlAVicb3ey4z7.html
Nice video man. I picked mine up from walmart for 89$ on a steal
Crazy! What version?
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 The maverick 88. Turns out my walmart is getting out of firearms so everything was on a steal.
My 88 was 289$ in California, I got it 3 weeks before the pandemic hit lol I got luck because they're sold out now
@@danthe2Afan Sounds a bit pricey, but at least you have one now.
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 my mistake it was 229$ still overpaid a bit but that's california for you
What kind of side saddle did you get? You never mentioned where you got it or who manufactured it.
Sorry about that. I wanted something that was FDE (or similar) and that I could remove, but didn't need to be velcroed to the receiver, but didn't have rails or anything else I didn't need. I usually keep the polymer shell holder off most of the time while shooting. The aluminum mounting bracket is pretty slim and it's actually more bronze than tan, but I thought it was a good solution.

How did you find that 28" barrel? They always seem to be made for the 5 round tube.
Ebay and a good bit of luck
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 What search terms should I be using? Is it a genuine Mossberg product or 3rd party or was it gunsmithed by the seller?
@@robbhays8077 Just Mossberg 500 barrel. It is a genuine, non-gunsmithed barrel. Mossberg did make them a while ago, but they don't anymore. I'm pretty sure they are rare, so you are lucky to come across one. Keep looking and maybe you'll come across a used one that someone's selling on ebay. Just check on the measurement of the end of the barrel to the lug where the magazine tube attaches. It will need to be noticeably shorter than usual.
I've been accused of being rude. If I've been rude to you, let me know and I'll apologize.
How do you wipe the barrel down under the shield?
I guess I don't.
I think that pistol grip is designed more narrow to the one side cuz the action release
Maybe, but if so, it's the only one like this I've seen. Other commonly available grips like this in black are symmetrical, so that's what I was expecting.
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 There are other videos related to this and that is why I'm saying this . There is a guide , a " how to " where they show you where exactly the dremil down the grips . I didn't magically pull this info out of a hat . It's a thing that's unique to the maverick 88 s

I have the exact same shotgun, do you have the links the upgrades?
I didn't think to add them in my description, but if you look at the comments, I've been doing that bit by bit.
could you post the link for the 28" barrel?
Sadly, no. I just happened to find it on ebay once and bought it for $100. Mossberg used to make them, but I think now they are discontinued. I've looked around for an official link, but haven't been able to find one. So all I can suggest is keep looking on ebay and maybe another one will pop up.
I came for this and all I can say is great find.
Update: in 2022 he needs more than 19 shells and one shotgun.
That's why I got my sling that holds additional shells.
I'm putting a m9 bayonet mount on mine.
Good luck with that.
Do you have the link to the light and mounting kit ?
I use one like this one, as it's very minimal and works for an attachment in many directions: www.ebay.com/itm/Mossberg-500-Remington-870-Shotgun-12GA-1-Tube-Picatinny-lights-Laser-Mount/184304803478?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225074%26meid%3D1913b85cf51749e3a47db46b768a35b7%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D162082848790%26itm%3D184304803478%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV2bDemotion%26brand%3DUnbranded%2FGeneric&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Doesn’t the 88 have a fixed choke? (Meaning having a little storage compartment specifically for chokes is-for that shotgun-useless)? What am I missing, other than the obvious “who says you have to use it for chokes, anyway?”
I believe you are right. My original barrel isn't threaded for chokes. But I have a longer replacement barrel that will accept different chokes.
I don't think you're rude, sir
Thank you.
You lost me on the flat dark earth tape on top of the heat shield

Mossberg lists the weight as 6.5 lbs (like all their similar shotguns). It doesn't feel like that to me, but the accessories I have added are pretty light and don't add noticeable weight. There's a lot of cool stuff that you can put on it that doesn't really do much except add weight.

Get a pistol light instead of the scope ring thing

You're just discussing modifications of your shotgun.
Yeah, that's pretty much the idea.
You won’t find a new one for $200.00 in 2021. 😤
Sadly, you are right.
For a "budget build" you sure spent a bunch of cash on accessories. You mention the pouch for choke tubes, but the 20" security barrel isn't threaded for tubes, and the field barrels that are threaded will not fit the 20" magazine tube. Besides, a Mossberg field barrel that is threaded for choke tubes cost nearly as much as the Maverick 88 itself.
And the pistol grip ... with it installed, you have to break your ready to fire hand position to activate the action bar release, and you cannot remove the trigger group for a field strip with the pistol grip installed.
You bbq may need to field strip of the gun and a dropped on the side of the receiver, because that sometimes causes the litter pins to use our of position, thereby locking the entire action inoperable, requiring pistol grip removal (additional hand tool) to reset the jammed lifter. It happened to me, btw. PITA
Thought - can the barrel get hot enough to reform the polymer heat shield? I heard that happening on a pencil barrel Bushmaster. But ???
Additionally, while some accessories are nice and tacticool, the more you add, the more you snag.
Also, why but 2-point sling attachments AND a single point attachment? Budget build?
Autocorrect messed up one paragraph. What i meant to type is that if dropped flat on the side of the receiver, the pins securing the litter can jar out of position, and the action becomes locked up tight. To reset the action, you have to remove the trigger group and field strip the action components. The pistol grip blocks removal of the trigger group, so you have to carry a hand tool required to remove pistol grip. Otherwise you're dead in the water.
No problem at all with the polymer heat shield and I'v found that it is actually a helpful feature when I'm doing a lot of shooting in a short time. That barrel really does heat up. As far as the pouch, you could put anything useful in it, even extra shells. I do actually have choke tubes, since I found a barrel for this gun that is threaded for chock tubes. It was on ebay for just $100, so quite a deal; for just $300 I have a good hunting and defense shotgun. As far as the pistol grip, I do find that I like the full stock much better. As far as 1-pt vs. 2-pt. sling, that's just a preference. Either one is OK, but I find the 1-pt better for tactical use and 2-pt better for general use. I haven't hunted with it yet (with my 28" threaded barrel), but when I do, I think I would prefer the 2-pt.

Walk in a room with an armed intruder and you have a light on your gun you will be shot within 1 sec. Unless you are going to flash bang the room before you enter, I wouldn't run a light or laser. Jic..it ever happens...
But they are a valid tactical accessory; it just depends on how you use it. Some info out there suggests that a light is a must for a home defense shotgun. I think being able to turn it off quickly is key.
You sound like George Lucas
That is so weird. Many people have told me that and I heard it more than once when I worked at ILM. It used to freak people out there when they heard me, but didn't see me. Because of that, I was actually planning on coming as George Lucas to the next company Halloween party if I ended up being there that long.
@@vfxtutswithdan1893, yep just say some star wars shit and you have it nailed! Nice gun review too.

Hey, are you ignoring Hat, Shoes, Gloves!?! How can you accessorize and ignore Hat, Shoes, Gloves?!? And with March right around the corner those Fall colors are out! Maybe bright Lime, or Brilliant Blue or even Day Glow Pink. You know just open yourself up to Easter Pastels! Cummon; snap snap Butch!
Congratulations..ur upgrades are more money than the maverick..which isn't hard do
I haven't tallied it up, but it wasn't much. I do look for budget stuff. But when the gun cost $200, that's not hard.
a pistol grip is unnecessary for a home defense shotgun, they never fit correctly. I would never attach a pistol grip on my 88 Maverick.
Please be clear and point out MOST Maverick 88s can NOT shoot SLUGS!!!
Where did you come up with this?
Why not? The stock barrel isn't threaded. I first tested it out at the store where I bought it with slugs, since they didn't allow any shot at the range. The only thing that keeps me from shooting more is the price.
Your stock Sucks!! A Kicklite stock is the way to go. I also made a custom sling mount attachment point at the base of the mag tube from stainless steel. Blue force gear 3 point sling and a mounted side saddle. I also have the heat shield and fiber sights. I'm finding this a very useless video!!!!! With the barrel your getting way out of the truck gun short as possible. If you like it great. I have a JM 930 for what your attempting with a cheep pump.
My stock stock sucks? Okay. I can't understand much of what you are writing, but I do see a lot of exclamation points. It's not a truck gun; that's not what I need. But it's helpful know know how useless you found this video.
Your video is so out of sinck its hard to watch
Just like my life

Bunch of ebay stuff. I'm not following this guy. He is rude as hell. You want followers treat them right.
Yes, it's a bunch of ebay stuff, mostly, but not entirely. How else do you buy stuff these days? But rude as hell? I wasn't aware and I've never heard anything like that before. Are you sure you are on the right video?
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 Anazon is how people buy stuff now. You were rude in comments. Hell your being rude now questioning me. This America. I will give my opinion. You don't like it, just sit there and think it over. You lost a potential subscriber. You need a better approach in your reply area. For now just got work on that. You are rude and you need to work on being on TH-cam.
@@jasona2837 So this is America, and you will give me your opinion, but I'm being rude in questioning you. And I shouldn't buy stuff on ebay. Got it.
@@vfxtutswithdan1893 in my opinion as someone who is basically a customer to you, YOU ARE RUDE! YOU ARE DOING IT NOW! SO NOT GONNA SAY GOOD LUCK TO YOU. JUST GOODBYE!
@@jasona2837 I'm happy to apologize if you explain how I've been rude to you without YELLING.
Stop swallowing so much it’s driving me nuts
