What’s Included
- Maverick 88 Security 12 Gauge shotgun with 18.5" Accu-Choke barrel (Improved Cylinder choke installed)
This Security variant uses dual action bars and an aluminum-alloy receiver for smooth cycling and reduced weight. The receiver is finished in black oxide and is not drilled or tapped, keeping the profile streamlined for slide-action operation.
The 18.5-inch barrel is threaded for additional Accu-Choke tubes, allowing quick adaptation to different shot patterns. Its brass bead front sight offers a clear, durable aiming reference that resists snagging.
A synthetic stock and one-piece fore-end provide weatherproof durability in a no-glare black finish. The fixed stock delivers a 14.5-inch length of pull and wears a soft recoil pad to tame 3-inch magnum shells.
Capacity is 5 + 1, giving the user six rounds on tap without extensions. A cross-bolt safety located behind the trigger guard offers intuitive, ambidextrous operation.
