What's Included
- Maverick Arms Model 88 Security 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun
The Security configuration uses a 20 in, plain (no rib) cylinder-bore barrel for straightforward handling and patterning with defensive loads. A brass bead front sight provides a clear, durable aiming reference.
A full-length magazine tube runs to the muzzle, delivering 7+1 capacity with 2-3/4 in shells. The gun is chambered for both 2-3/4 in and 3 in 12 gauge shells, offering flexibility across common load types.
The action incorporates dual extractors, twin action bars, steel-to-steel lockup, and an anti-jam elevator. These elements are designed to support consistent cycling and positive extraction.
Construction features include a black-finished aluminum-alloy receiver; a bright metal, steel barrel and magazine tube; and black synthetic furniture. The stock has a ventilated recoil pad and textured panels, while the ribbed synthetic fore-end provides a solid grasp. A cross-bolt safety is positioned in the trigger guard.
The Model 88 shares core mechanical architecture with the Mossberg 500, with barrel/accessory interchange only within gauge and capacity. This preserves the platform’s familiar control layout and handling characteristics.
