Buy recommendations Maverick 88

Been considering a 590 Retrograde for funsies, but saw the Maverick 88 with two barrels advertised which is cheaper but would fit my use case a bit better.

Is the 88 fairly reliable?

Also, are there any suppliers of wood furniture for the 88?

The Maverick 88 is a workhorse shotgun. They aren’t the prettiest, but they work flawlessly. I’ve had mine for ten years and run it in more or less stock configuration and have not treated it well, yet it runs everything I put through it.
