North Haven, CT – Mossberg’s affordable line of Maverick 88 pump-action shotguns are known for their toughness, reliability and being recognized as “The Working Man and Woman’s Shotgun.” Joining the Maverick line-up are three new 12-gauge offerings: 6-shot and 8-shot versions with Flat Dark Earth (FDE) synthetic stock and forend; and a compact, ATI® top-folding stock version with 6-round capacity and black synthetic furniture. Receivers and barrel surfaces on all three models feature a blued finish. These durable shotguns are for ideal for personal or home defense.
Maverick 88 pump-action shotguns are designed for reliable, smooth operation with the combination of dual extractors; twin-action bars; positive steel-to-steel lock-up; anti-jam elevator; and cross-bolt safety, located at the front of the trigger guard. At the core of its no-frills and low-maintenance design is the ability to field-strip the Maverick 88 with the simple removal of one pin. Adding to their versatility, Maverick 88 shotguns are fully-compatible and interchangeable with Mossberg 500® barrels and ACCU-CHOKE™ tubes within gauge and capacity.

To shoot from a shoulder-mounted position, simply flip down the stock with a press of the quick-release button. The stock is constructed of reinforced polymer and features a textured pistol grip; sling swivel stud; and is pre-drilled for ease of adding a Shotgun Shell Holder. MSRP: $259
