Maverick Arms Maverick 88 Slug 12 Gauge Shotgun

A: Yes, RB = Rifled Barrel and RS = Rifle Sights.

A: This is a 5+1 Shotgun Larry.

A: No rails. You will have to add them.

A: No rails and not sure how you would add them without drilling and tapping the receiver.

A: Larry you will need to add this to the Maverick : http://www.ebay.com/bhp/mossberg-tri-rail

A: the maverick 88 takes the same barrels as the Mossberg 500 I would get a 28 in accu choke barrel http://www.mossberg.com/store/90130.html 24 riffled http://www.mossberg.com/store/90055.html which is on the gun you have selected or the 24 inch rifled cantilever barrel http://www.mossberg.com/store/92156.html 18.5 security barrel http://www.mossberg.com/store/90015.html

A: The Maverick will be the best choice simply because of the readily available accessories such as 500 barrels which are cross compatible with the Maverick. You will probably be able to find all these accessories/barrels used for a lower price as well.

A: The gun you are looking at has the 24 inch rifle barrel $200.00 then the security barrel is $98.00 and the 28 inch accuchoke barrel is $190.00for a total cost of $488.00 now you may find better deals on used or new barrel as I used Mossberg's price price Check EB** for deals

A: Hi Larry, did you try and do a price match to see if you can save a few bucks and get the shotgun you want? It gets the price down to $195 for the cash price.

A: Yes, the Mossberg Maverick will be a better platform with more readily available accessories Larry.

A: Hi Larry, I would never give up quality for a few extra bucks. The Mossberg is a great shotgun especially if you plan on using for home defense.

A: I would stay with the Maverick you will spend more than the difference in price when you look for the extra barrels from your previous post

A: Jason, yes Sir. This model has a 3" Chamber.
