Do the not sell 20" 88 security in Canada?

[Ryan500]

Hey all, looking for a maverick but with the 20" barrel where the mag tube sits flush with the end of the barrel.... can't seem to locate. Do they sell these in Canada? If they do can y'all point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Not exactly "in Canada" per se;

But Irunguns has them in stock. $238-USD.

Perfect, thanks man. Came across one at blue wolf firearms as well, but not sure if they are reputable or not...

Cabela's carry the 500 & 590 in 20" with the mag tube flush with the barrel.

Yes, go with the Persuader 500 instead.

What's the diff between the 88 and 500 other than $130? Seems like they are exactly the same.

Plastic parts in the trigger group on the 88 where the metal parts are in the 500 as well.

Good to know, thanks!

What's the diff between the 88 and 500 other than $130? Seems like they are exactly the same.

The 2 main differences in design are;

500 has ambidextrous tang safety.
88 has a crossbolt safety.

500 has a typical 3 piece forend assembly.
88 has a pinned 1 piece forend assembly not interchangeable with 500.

The 500 has a plastic trigger guard BTW.

590 has a plastic trigger guard. 590A1 has a metal trigger guard.

In addition to the other differences mentioned, the Mav 88 receiver isn't drilled and tapped for rail mounting like the 500 and 590. I just saw a thread with the Sun Optics Shotgun Saddle Mount was put on a Mav 88, negating the need to drill holes in the receiver. The value of the 88 is really good for what you get (I have had one for 16 years). Same twin extractors the Mossbergs have and same style of feed tray that make loading easier than the type found on other brands, IMO.
