All Maverick models include a cross-bolt safety in front of the trigger for speed and convenience. Maverick 88 barrels are compatible with Mossberg 500 model barrels within gauge and capacity. Maverick is owned and operated by Mossberg ,so you will find the same performance and reliability as the proven from Mossberg 500 and 590s. There is no other American made pump action of this quality for this fantastic price! However, they can be installed to allow the use of a sling.The Maverick 88 shotguns are probably the best value 6 shot pump action on the market. Security models come in black or Flat Dark Earth stock and fore-end. The All-Purpose models comes from the factory with a black synthetic stock and fore-end. Magazine capacity is further limited, if loading 3-inch shells, to 4 in the tube magazine and 1 in the chamber. The Security Models have a capacity of 6 in the tube with the 18.5" barrel, 7 with 20" barrel with both allowing 1 in the chamber. The 88s have a cartridge capacity of 5 in the tube magazine and 1 in the chamber and cannot have their magazines easily extended without machining. The Slug model comes with 24-inch barrels and is available Cylinder Bore or Fully Rifled Bore. The Security w/ Top-Folding Stock comes in 18 + 1⁄ 2-inch only, featuring a pistol grip. Security comes with an 18 + 1⁄ 2-inch or 20-inch non-vent-rib barrel. The All Purpose model comes in 12 gauge with a 28-inch barrel, or 20 gauge with 26-inch barrel or 22-inch barrel with vent rib (youth version). There are four models of the 88, All-Purpose, Security, Security w/ Top-Folding Stock and Slug. 
Maverick 88s are factory finished with steel bluing only, whereas Mossberg 500s have factory-blued, nickel-plated or parkerized (barrel/magazine) options. Also the Maverick 88 does not have a receiver top pre-drilled and tapped for a Weaver scope mount rail. Maverick 88 shotguns feature a trigger guard-mounted cross-bolt safety as opposed to a top tang safety, which is used on the Mossberg 500 series.Įarly Model 88s were equipped with a single slide rail, but this was updated to a dual slide rail in 1990.
Maverick 88s do not come equipped with any sling mounts, as the Mossberg 500 series does. The trigger groups will not interchange between Maverick 88 and Mossberg 500 models, but the majority of other parts, including barrels, stocks, and magazine tubes, will (the barrel and magazines must be the same length).
The Maverick line of shotguns is assembled in Eagle Pass, Texas, using some parts manufactured outside of the United States, mainly from Mexico, which contributes to their relatively lower price in comparison to the Mossberg 500 series of shotguns.
