Just got a Mossberg Maverick 88....

So I sold my Davis P-380 for $100 and paid $150 for a brand new in the box Mossberg Maverick 88. I am looking to get a Pistol Grip, Weapon Light, case, and a side mount shell holder. Does anyone know of a good place to get these accessories? Also, for HD, what ammunition should I use? Anything else you would recommend me adding to this? I am going to take it to the range on Sunday just to get a feel for the gun, but after that it will sit by my bed hoping it never has to be used.

Thanks in advance for the comments/advice, this is my first post here!

First of all welcome to the G&G. I hope you hang around. There are a lot of good folks here. I would load my HD shotgun with 00 buckshot and then a slug and so on. That should handle about anything that comes your way.

Nice, I've never heard someone mention the pattern for what you load, sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the link for accessories, I've been just searching 'maverick 88 accessories' which didn't yeild anywhere near as many results. Thanks guys!

I'm going to add some accessories to make this a nice looking / fun / B.A. HD gun. The following list is what I've comprised. Does anyone have any experience with any of these mods, have a better recommendation, or know of somewhere cheaper to get them? It's broken down into two orders because I won't be able to afford to order it all at once.

MOSSBERG SHOTGUN 500 TOP FOLDING STOCK ATI $49.50 TFS0600ATI
UNIVERSAL SHOTGUN 12 GAUGE SHOTSHELL HOLDER ATI $10.25 SHO0500

Total $99.10 with Tax & Shipping

Black Tactical Flashlight Luxeon LED Super Bright $29.95 TTFLBNCS

HI Sonic I recently bought a Mossberg/Maverick 88 Security. Check out the link to my Thread I posted.
I bought sling studs form Mossberg and my son bought me a gun case from Optic Planet as you'll see, so here's the link.

My next little mod will be an elastic shell band for the butt stock and then a light clamp and thats it for me....A.H

That ATI top folder is SWEET! I've been eyeballing these Maverick 88s for a while (as ArkansasHunter knows) and am very tempted to purchase one. Sounds like you got a nice shooter for your money. Feel free to post a range report. tclu

i liked DeltaForce.com | The leading Force in Shooting Sport Equipment.
thats where i got all my xxxx from.
if you request a catalog, they send you theirs and one from another company.
i got LTLammo, SpecOps stock, pistolgrip forend(that i cant use) and ATI heat shield for my 88 security.

it said in the book that the forend was compatible with the maverick,
and it says on the box itself, that its not.

i got the gun for 120 and all the xxxx i paid for came out to about 150.


but i really want that grip forend, i want to get some type of 500.
but from what i know, the maverick is a pretty good HD weapon

I have the pleasure of just driveing a few miles if I need anything from Delta Force because it's located in my home town.
It's where I did my concealed carry class and a very cool place to visit too.
