The Maverick 88 is Mossberg's budget pump — manufactured with cost savings that do not compromise the core function. It uses the same basic action and magazine tube as the 500, with simplified controls and a polymer trigger group. It is a legitimate defensive shotgun at an entry-level price.
We carry Maverick 88 accessories that fit correctly and improve what matters — capacity, carrying, and reliable feeding.
FAQ
Are Mossberg 500 accessories compatible with the Maverick 88?
Some are, some are not. The magazine tube is compatible with 500-pattern extensions. However, the Maverick 88 uses a different stock design and the safety is located at the trigger guard rather than the tang. Stock upgrades from the 500 will not fit. Always confirm compatibility before ordering.
Is the Mossberg Maverick 88 reliable for home defense?
Yes. The Maverick 88 uses the same pump action as the 500 and functions reliably with standard defensive loads. The main limitations are fewer aftermarket options and the cross-bolt safety location (less intuitive than the tang safety on the 500). For the price, it is a legitimate defensive tool.
What magazine extensions fit the Mossberg Maverick 88?
The Maverick 88 uses the same magazine tube thread as the Mossberg 500. 500-compatible magazine extensions will fit the Maverick 88. Always pair any extension with the correct spring length for reliable feeding.
What is the capacity of the Mossberg Maverick 88?
The standard Maverick 88 ships with a 5+1 capacity in the 18.5-inch configuration. Longer barrel models may have different tube lengths. Aftermarket magazine extensions can increase capacity where the configuration allows.
