I bought a new Maverick 88 12GA with the 18 1/2 barrel. It came knocked down in the box. I was checking it out before assembling the barrel, racking it and pulling the trigger a few times.
I wanted to begin the simple assembly and opened the manual for instructions. There in print was the warning not to do what I had done or damage will occur. I assembled the shotgun and everything seems to be OK, but how will I know if I have damaged any parts? Seems to me that if this is critical, they would have a sticker or a tag on the unit. I doubt if I was the first new owner to start playing before assembly. Your thoughts, please.
