I paid $300 for mine, but it came with two barrels, 18.5" and 28". I use it as an extra shotgun when friends are up and we're skeet shooting. Regardless of price, this is a solid, reliable, versatile gun.

What’s appealing to me is the fact it’s a Mossberg. Mossberg would literally make a turd worth buying. It’s a company I’ve trusted since day 1 of the shotgun world. I bought the Maverick 88 security model where the lengths are the same (over, under - barrel and tube). I bought this shotgun brand new WITH shells for $280 at a local quality gun shop. Mossberg Maverick is the only shotgun I would ever trust and feel good about if I HAD to pull $200 out for a gun. With foreign firearms flooding the market today, Mavericks seem to be getting pushed over to the side, but I’d dig through a 5 foot pile of Turkish shotguns just to find a beat up rusty Mossberg any day. I’m a big fan of the 570, 500 and 88, 100%. American branded shotgun, cheap but made to run like a cheetah, and the other reason I enjoy it is because of the dual bar ride mechanism on the pump assembly. I have owned several shotguns that only had one single bar that rides when pumping the shotgun and they felt absolutely terrible, wobbly, and just didn’t feel stable. Generally, Mossbergs have dual rides and it makes the pumping feel sturdy, straight, and comfortable. It’s one of those only shotguns that looks great with 0 accessories. And not mention the famous “racking” sound that we all love that Mossbergs make. Haven’t been able to replicate the sound elsewhere.

This guy is adorable. I hope he has more Fanta to enjoy when he gets home.

Great video!! Great shotgun! Just picked one up myself!! Had to!! Thanks for the nice video!!

I have the same Maverick 88 Security 6. My 1st Civilian Shotgun. Can't beat the price or Quality. I love it!

Just picked one of these up today. My first shotgun so didn’t want to spend too much. Can’t wait to take it out to the range next week!

I just purchased the Security 88 with the 8 round tube for just under $300.00 still a great deal even though nothing is inexpensive anymore...

I think I saw a small tree fall down in the background when you dropped the hammer on the buck shot; It sure sounded cool.

Outstanding Video my friend! You are exactly right about the shotgun. It's reasonably priced and easily maneuvered to get on target.

Nice video Rick . It’s so good good to see you making another video ! Take care of yourself bud. May the Lord Bless you and your family with great health and safety !!

I like this guy... he blessed me by god and he picked up his spent shells subscribed

One of the best M88 Security videos on YT.

Good to see ya Brother a classic for sure nothing like old school

Good to see a vid from you Rick. Great little shotty. I’ve got one with a 20 inch barrel. Never an issue👍🏻

Opsol is a must have with a Mossberg or Maverick.

I don't know how I missed this video. I'm glad I'm watching this storm roll in and caught it. Nice shooting as always! I don't think there's anything you can't shoot well. The Maverick 88 is on outstanding value in a shotgun! I have a buddy that's had one for over 40 years. He had to replace an ejector about 5 or 6 years ago. The only thing that's ever worn out on it.

Nice demo Rick.

I picked up one today from Academy. Just a little over $200.00s (238.00's out the door) mine is the 7 plus 1 version (dark earth color) I plan on taking it out to the range this weekend for the first time. I've owned one of these before. And thier Really nice guns.

Such a great shotgun

Looks like a nice gun, sometimes the cheap ones are the best ones because your not afraid to get them scratched up

Another great channel to follow. Good work.

Love the shotgun brother. Also like those Rick Nethery videos lady's and gentlemen.

Yep, I agree that is one good shotgun and the one I bought my son a few years back and also bought him a field barrel too....Have fun with it and nice addition....Good stuff....

Good video. Just bought one. Looking forward to shooting it.

bought one today! can’t wait to take it to the range

I have 2 Maverick 88s an all purpose and a 8 shot Security and you definitely can't go wrong with them

Sure looks like a good shotgun. Thanks for the great video. Nice shooting.

Love my Maverick. Going to be reloading the minis. There's a couple of good videos on how to do that here. Way cheaper than buying factory shorty shells. They are fun to shoot and 9 in the mag tube and one in the pipe is sweet in an 18.5" shotty.

Good to see you back on Rick...Fun video. also learned something new with those shorty's.

My favourite shotgun!

Just got one of these. Can’t wait to try it out.

Them ol Maverick 88's are good for sure. They run and are very affordable.

Great Shooting!

Cool. I've never see the minny shells. And everytime I shoot a mossberg I always reach for the slide release as well haha

I have a Rem 870 and Stevens 320 12ga but dont have a mossberg! I need to get me one of those to round out my pump action collection! :D have a good one!

0:37 And thats all I needed to hear

Great review. I want to get some of those mini shells now. I imagine they don't come at a mini price:)

These things are great bought me 2 of them, best bang for the buck

The Maverick is great bang for the buck👍

Great gun I bought two for my wife I couple years ago

You know Rick, I forgot about the Opsol Mini Clip and it is Texas Made. I think I need to snag a Maverick or Shockwave in 12g. I have always preferred 20g because I can carry more ammo, those mini-shells kinda change that advantage.

GREAT VIDEO MY FRIEND, I LIKE THAT BEAUTIFUL SHOTGUN, so glad you found my channel from one shooter to another. i like what your doing, just keeep it up, i'm happy to say that i'm a new subbbbb god bless you my brother,

Nice review, and sweet T shirt !!!!!!!!!!! us !!!!!!!!!

It’s basically a mossberg 500, my 500 I bought used and it had a weak firing spring or something so I swapped externals from my 88

I may or may not have one of these strategically placed somewhere within my house, loaded with buckshot.

Something about an 'ole Texas boy with his pump 12 Guage shotgun just screams Americana.

Just found your channel...subscribed...can't wait to check out more vids!

I haven't been looking hard, but haven't seen as many Mossberg shotguns in stock anywhere. I see a lot of cheap junker imports all over. I wouldn't mind picking up a 500. I messed up a few yrs ago and saw a real nice Win 1300 defense model in a shop. I should of snagged it. Unfortunately that shop closed and owner moved out of state. It was my favorite shop around.

Looks great :)

I have the 88 with 7+1 it holds 10 mini shells in the tube East Texas snake gun. Put wood 500 stock on it vary fun.

The scenery is beautiful I’m gonna guess Georgia but I’m ignorant to the south

I have always wanted to play with some of the mini shells

Why do you position the camera so that all we see is your back while you're test-firing? It would be helpful to be able to see the pump-action cycling and see how cleanly it ejects empties.

Best of the best 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I love mine security version 7 +1. I added a heat shield.

Rick, Like your strap there. What brand is that? Thank you

Do you like the 20 inch 7+1 Mossberg Maverick 88? I like them both.

Nice

Good video just wondering how do you get the sling assembly ? I'm aware there's a hole for the sling at the butt, how about the front. Thanks

I wonder, can a security shotgun like the maverick 88 be used for turkey hunting?, great video, thanks.

Great Video! What sling hardware is that?

199 $ at Wallmart onsale …worth every dimes. Folk!

just bouht one, my biggest concern is the blueing and rust. not sure what i should do to ease that concern lol

Rah sir

Did it have trouble ejecting shells at first ?

This was my first gun

Good Job Sir. What kinda Sling is that on your Shotgun.

I have two of them' one at each end of the house. I can't find the mini shells in my area.

Hey man where did you get the strap?

May be a dumb question but what is the little steel plate that came with my 88? It’s shrink wrapped and says “ultimate-mag” on it. Thanks.

How did you get that sling attached?

Great shotgun. Very poor customer service from Mossberg. They tell me the reason I cannot buy a 18.5 inch barrel is because of Covid. They have been making this claim for three years.

I just bought one took it outside to see how it would shoot and the first thing i had to do was kill a copper headas soon as i walked outside almost stepped on him 😅

What sling & attachments are you running?

Sorry gun

Where did you get that sling? What brand is it?

Hey Rick, shoot me an email so I can show you our newest shotgun stock for that Maverick 88, the FLASH-5.

Nice review brother just bought the same gun today 👍🫡
