Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Maverick 88, a pump-action shotgun produced by O.F. Mossberg & Sons, offers a cost-effective alternative to the Mossberg 500 series, while maintaining a high degree of similarity in design and functionality. Assembled in Eagle Pass, Texas, the Maverick 88 is closely modeled after the Mossberg 500, though it distinguishes itself through a more economical construction that includes parts sourced from outside the U.S., primarily Mexico. This international sourcing contributes to its lower price point. The Maverick 88 features a black synthetic stock and forearm, a cylinder bore (with interchangeable chokes available on certain models), and a cross-bolt safety, diverging from the top tang safety found on the Mossberg 500. Although most non-trigger-related components like barrels and magazine tubes are interchangeable with the Mossberg 500, the trigger groups are not, and barrels and magazines must match in length. The Maverick 88 lacks factory-installed sling mounts, which are present on the Mossberg 500, although aftermarket installations are possible.

A notable design evolution occurred in 1990 when early models with a single slide rail were upgraded to a dual slide rail system. The Maverick 88 is also finished with a steel bluing only, contrasting with the Mossberg 500’s range of finishes, including nickel-plated and parkerized options. The Maverick 88 has four primary models: All-Purpose, Security, Security with a Top-Folding Stock, and Slug. These models cater to various needs, from general hunting and sport shooting to security applications, with barrel lengths and capacities varying by model. Notably, the Security models feature extended magazine capacities, accommodating up to 7 rounds with a 20-inch barrel, although the magazine’s capacity is reduced when using 3-inch shells. While the All-Purpose models come with a black synthetic stock, the Security variants are available in both black and Flat Dark Earth. Despite the lack of factory-installed sling swivels, these can be added to enhance the shotgun’s versatility.
