Gun and gear reviews Maverick 88 12 Ga 3'' 20''

Where can I find one in Canada. All seem to be out of stock. Don't want a grey one..

Anyone know anywhere that would order me one ??

Been browsing gunpost but no luck.

Are you deadest on a 88? Why not just get a Mossberg 500 and then just have a gunsmith cut the barrel down for you to match the end of the mag tube?

Yeah I mean I guess that's an option not sure if it'll be worth the price to do that though

So the 500 is just under $200 more than the 88 and i'd arguably easily a better firearm. That said the Mav 88 are fantastic.

As far as the barrel work - I had mine done by Taccord. I had the 26"vent rib barrel given the vang comp treatment but had it cut down to be pretty much flush with the +2 extension i got. They didn't charge me anything extra for the chop.

Not sure if they do all that for 20gauges but it could be a fun side project.
