Anyone with opinions on the Mossberg Mavrick shotguns?

[Nisser17]

Someone must know where to buy one of these in Ontario, it's looking like a good blaster for friends to use. Hell I might buy two for the price of of the 870 I was looking at.

I had one go ka-boom on me. Broke the action bar. Tore the hell out of the interior of the shotgun's receiver, with deep, deep gouges in the aluminum. I wouldn't touch another, not even if they were free and I was paid to use it!

Explain please? From what I see in your post you experienced a part failure, which occurs with any mechanical device.

Good gun

I got a Maverick 88 and put a few rounds thru it. It worked without a problem. For the price, it's worth it.

i got a maverick 98 30 inch ribbed barrel when i was in university to shoot clays with. it was $200 new which was perfect for a student. i am VERY happy with it. it actions very smooth, i preffer the action release behind the tigger guard as opposed to in front (like a rem), it shoots clays very nicely and i havent had any problems at all.

the action is 100x better than my grizzly and at around the same price point. if only the maverick had a 12 inch barrel.

 

[ChopperPilot]

The 18.5" barrel works well... I also paid about $200 for the 18.5 with the folding stock.

I'm not into using it for shooting clays or hunting so much, but I bring it camping/hiking with me every time and it has never let me down. not a jam or misfire. action is a little stiff compared to my 870 or 500, i just like it as a bush gun because its cheap and for $200 I could care less if it gets scratched to ####.

 

[CeeZer]

It works, it's cheap, small and light enough and who care about the rest when you go camping or hiking.

What did you guys do for sling mounting options? It seems like the mag cap already has a threaded hole in it.

Do you need to buy the entire Uncle Mike's 500 kit to mount a sling? Or can you just buy the mounts?

 

[gizmoe]

Has one, shot as a back up. Broke a part, piece of junk. Better off with a remington 870 sps. Dont bother with the Benilli Nova, shells jam when you try and eject. Same thing will happen in the sps if you buy it in 3 1/2. Lots of old 870 around if you ask.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I have a 1-point sling I use on many of guns. My 88 has the side folding stock and there is a sling mount on the receiver's side near the folding stock. That's where I hook up my 1-pointer and it works well for me.
