Re: Maverick 88 Home and Yard defense (More)pics
bdlawnic, Welcome to Mossberg Owners!
Its some sort of single point sling, I did a quick image search and found very similar slings from UTG to Troy Industries... SOG Tactical, I personally have a Botach Tactical single point bungee sling.
Also, I recommend taking a look at our "Sling" subsection and pose the question ther about what youre looking for and we'll see what we can come up with!

Re: New Pics
]Hey Jeepman,
What is the stock you have on there? ATI? Do you like it, does it reduce recoil much?
What is the heatshield? How well does it fit? I heard some of the scatch the barrel and won't stay put.
Thanks

They are both ati recoil is not bad at all & the heatshield has been just fine.

Re: New Pics
Thanks Jeepman. I was hoping the ATI would help reduce the felt recoil some. Being new to shotguns I was a little overwhelmed after shooting the 88 for the first time. Seems to have a lot more recoil that the few few others I have had a chance to shoot. One bird gun and one side by side stagecoach gun.

Finally...
So I finally got my first shotgun: Maverick 88 with the 28" All Purpose Barrel. First impressions are pretty good so far minus the rattling fore end which I've heard is somewhat normal? Definitely need to give this gun a good cleaning as it it covered in that packing grease I've read about. First upgrade on the agenda will be a 18.5" barrel as this will be my primary HD weapon. Followed by an ATI Talon Adj Stock or just a Limbsaver in the mean time! I hope to continue to use this forum for insight and keep the updates coming! Thanks!

Re: Finally...
Congratulations Sir!
As far as the forearm rattle, it's just one of those endearing qualities us Mossberg owners have come to love from our shotguns. It's not only normal, but the loose tolerance in the forearm contributes to the platform's reliability in all conditions. With tighter tolerance you may get less rattle, but the action becomes more succeptible to locking up when dirty. Once you start havin fun put'n holes in stuff, you'll forget all about it...

Congrats on the new shotgun, she looks like a beauty! Let us know how it shoots after the upgrades.

Re: Finally...
Nice gun. Congrats. I've been considering picking one of these up myself. Been looking around for the 8 shot security model. Don't worry about the rattle. It's normal and as the above user said, it helps contribute to the reliablity of the gun. I can't tell you many times I've gotten my mossbergs snowy/muddy and they just keep on chugging.

Re: Finally...
With the 18.5" barrel that is one helluva impressive shotgun!
When you get into shooting it with slugs or buckshot, make sure you don't try leaning into the gun while seated on a bench or table. Stand with 75% of your weight on your weak-side foot and let the recoil bring you upright.
Awesome looking SD shotgun, for real!

Re: Finally...
I wonder why that forearm looks more like the one on my wife's 20 gauge 500 than the forearm on my Maverick 88? This is what the forearm on my 88 looks like:
and here is the forearm of my wife's 500:
Ironically, mine now has a pistol grip on it and her's has a Compstock. Take care. Tom Worthington

Re: Finally...
Nice!
All joking aside Tom, all of us here have been struggling to make any sense of Mossberg's SOP on parts for years. It's almost like they have a giant bin full of forend assemblies and they just reach in and grab whatever to assemble each shotgun. If there is a pattern to it, we may need to contact Prof. Robert Langdon for help...

Re: Finally...
your alternative to getting a new tube is to modify the forearm to match like I did.
the complete assembly including the metal tube, they are interchangable. the mavericks without the pinned forearm, use a shorter metal tube.Tom396 said:
