Can this weapon shoot a rifled slug?

Ben, yes sir, it sure can. This has a 20" fixed cylinder bore barrel with a 3" chamber. So it will safely fire 2-3/4" and 3" Shells. It is a smooth bore so rifled/foster slugs will work great in it. Wouldn't recommend using sabot slugs Wich are meant for rifled barrels. Hope this helps.

I live in CA, unfortunately, and am trying to buy this and Buds is saying it is not legal.

Hi Donald and welcome. Unfortunately this happens on a few CA legal firearms on the Buds website. You will need to contact Buds Customer Service at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. or use the Blue Chat now button at the bottom right corner 9am to 9pm Mon - Sat and 9am to 7pm Sunday. You can also order from vendors here : https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/049533310804

Donald, Bud's must have this confused with the Shockwave. This is CA legal, and Bud's customer service should be able to help you complete the purchase. 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri. Stay safe & have a great day!

To straighten this out, just give Bud's Customer Service a call at 1-859-368-0371 9am-9pm EST Mon-Fri.

This should be California legal.

Hi Donald, yes it is CA legal. Cheers and stay safe!

Is this shotgun legal in NY ?

Nicholas, yes Sir. Pump shotguns do not carry the same restrictions as Semi-Auto shotguns. Cheers and stay safe!

yes it is legal in NY https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf

Yes, this is legal in new York. For the most part if it's pump action it's most likely legal. They don't have the same restrictions as semi automatics. Hope this helps.

Can you shoot 2 3/4 and 3" from the gun?

Yes, this is a pump action with a 3" chamber it will cycle reliably with both 2¾" and 3" shells

yes with a 3 inch chamber it is fine with 2 3/4 inch ammo

Frank, yes it has a 3" chamber, so you can use 3" or 2 3/4" shells.

Frank, yes Sir, it has a 3 inch Chamber so 3 inch or 2 3/4 inch shells are no issue. Cheers and stay safe!

Does this come with a butt stock?

Michael, no Sir. Comes just as pictured. You can get a Pistol Gripped Butt Stock here : https://www.combathunting.com/Products-MAVERICK_88_SHOTGUN_Accessories.html

Michael, no it does not, just comes with pistol grip.

The listing shows its a 12 GA. The model #31080 per Mossbergs listing also says its a 12GA but the product info on here says its a 20 GA. Which is it?

12 GA and NOT 20 GA. The description has errors in it and that this is a MOSSBERG MAVERICK 88 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN. I'm sorry for the description error. I hope this helps

Francisco, this UPC code is a 12Gauge Sir. --- ((Complete Specifications and Features)): - Mossberg Item Number: 31008 - Pump Action Shotgun - 12 Gauge - 7 Rounds (2-3/4" Shells) 20" Fixed Cylinder Bore Barrel - 3" Chamber (also accepts 2-3/4" Shells) - Bead Front Sight - Crossbolt Safety - Positive Steel to Steel Lock Up - Anti-Jam Elevator - Dual Extractors - Polymer Pistol Grip and Forend - Blued Finish - Overall Length: 30.375" - Weight: 6 lbs.

it is indeed a 12 ga, buds is good at guns, no so good at putting stuff up on their website, high volume sales means that they are having to more frequently list new in stock items and a few employees suffer from a case of fat fingers

Francisco, model 31080 is a 12 gauge. Someone at Bud's made a mistake in this listing, which is getting to be quite common.

The pictured gun looks like a 5+1 capacity. I'm assuming this model number has the magazine tube that extends all the way out to accommodate 7+1?

C J, yes Sir. This UPC code is for a 7+1 (8 Shot total) Shotgun. Buds is using the incorrect picture. Correct picture here : --- https://www.mossberg.com/product/maverick-88-cruiser-8-shot-31080/

How old do I have to be to buy this im in Texas

Kristian, you must be at least 21 years of age to purchase this in Texas since it does not meet the requirements of a long gun. A shotgun with a stock and pistol grip would be 18 years old. “Certain commercially produced firearms do not fall within the definition of shotgun under the GCA even though they utilize a shotgun shell for ammunition. For example, firearms that come equipped with a pistol grip in place of the buttstock are not shotguns as defined by the GCA.”

Kristian, Federal Law requires purchasers of this type of firearm to be 21 years of age. Is not a long gun.
