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?

I've had two, before the boating accident

Insanely cheap. Like "200 bucks used at Cabela's" Oddly reliable for this price point. Literally haven't had a single misfire in thousands of clays

When you rack it, it sounds like what Hollywood thinks a gun sounds like. Which is either badass or annoying depends on your viewpoint

10/10 best budget 12ga
