Thread: Mossberg Maverick 88 - any good?

Downside? One, it’s shortish barrel limits it’s range at times.

The sights work well with slug loads ( which kill at both ends despite the recoil pad which has hardened with age - unlike an old man’s whatsit!)

we have a bently in the family too
the barrel bulged after a few thousand rounds
the changeable choke seems like it dosent have enough steel there

very low opinion of them after the bulge
the rest of the shot gun works fine, im a real mossy fan tho
$50 more and well the bently is basically worthless now

Mine has some longitudinal scores inside the muzzle area courtesy of previous owner, I suspect they had loaded steel ball bearings into some shells (it was before steel shot was around)
But no choke or bulging.
