Welcome! And yes they will.

The only difference is that the receiver stud and bolt are metric, not english. Be careful when installing aftermarket stocks that you don't try to force an english bolt...an armorer client of mine made this mistake.

Fortunately, I was able to drill and retap the bolt, so now he has the only Mav w/ an English reciever stud. Whew! Close call!

Mossberg buys these grips directly from us. If you don't know of a dealer who can provide one OR need questions answered, call me at my desk or email me!

Best,

Scot

Any feedback about my previous post?
Is that because the bore is not crome plated?




Hello,

Few days ago, I've purchased a Maverick 88 Security Shotgun.

Before firing, I've cleaned the barrel and noticed that there was 5 little stripes inside the barel, juste after the cartridge chamber.
It's like a slug was fired and slightly damaged the inside of the barel.
Does it normal for a new shotgun?

Are there actually groves in the barrel ? if it's smooth .... i wouldn't worry about it

As promised. This is the Mossberg 500A police edition, but very similar to the Maverick 88.

It looks like you are balancing your gun, nice... I just bought a 500a 20 inch 8 shot , I put the pistol grip on, love it... I've shot a lot of shotguns , i never figured a 20 inch cylinder bore (not choked )barrel would hold a somewhat tight pattern.
Where is the safty on the mav 88. I'm thinking about getting one,I have enough hand guns and rifles.
One more question... Are there any weak places on the aluminum recievers?

Thanks , John

It's rubbed off a little bit of lead from the slug. Won't hurt a thing. You'll see similar streaks from buckshot.

Oh, I see, I misunderstood, I thought you were reporting this AFTER firing. nevertheless, the gun was proof fired at the factory and I expect that's what left the marks.

I just bought a 12 guage 28" vent rib barreled Maverick at Academy , on sale doe $ 149.00 . It came with the modified choke screw in tube .

I have a few faint lines that almost appear as rifling but its not i think its normal on all of em. When i lived in alaska i had an ex cop friends who is a gun nut lol and he said it was normal on mine. Im assuming you are talking about the same kind of lines.

[buckhunter92]

Good gun and fun to shoot. I had mine for about 7 months now and love it. Ya I had the same lines you all are talking about in the barrel when I first bought it but I hear its just from the factory.

Mine has never failed me I have a 24 inch ported barrel with Gobble dots on the rib and a mod screw in choke tube for night hunting coyote's and other varmints #4 buck does the trick out to about 40 yards copper or nickel plated.
