Awesome video 🙏 I know multiple people have said this already but for a 10 year old video this is by far my favourite guide I've watched, you explain and showed everything very clearly, I appreciate people like you that take the time to upload helpful things.

9 years later and this saved my shotgun (had over oiled and neglected to clean, had to strip it down for it wouldn't release shells from tube) 😂 thankyou so much random internet stranger. Hope life is treating you well!

Even 9 years after posting this video helped with a new production Mav 88! Thank you for being informative and realistic with this video. You did not lead me astray of "forget" steps like some other videos often do.

Thanks I just leveled up in life

Thank you. I was having a lot of difficulty put my shotgun back together, after I disassembled it for the first time. Your video much clearer than the instructions that came with the maverick 88. Great job.😊❤

Great video, very detailed and well illuminated, most people in youtube do not realize how important lighting is for a good video. Thanks!

Just bought a Maverick 88. Your video will help me with disassembly & reassembly. Thanks for the education.

Haven’t cleaned my Maverick 88 in maybe almost a year, but your video helped me out a lot forgot how to reassemble the firearm thank you much appreciated.

Just bought an 88 this past weekend. Gonna try the disassembly/reassembly in a few minutes. Thanks for a clear and concise video buddy. Much appreciated!

excellent video. I appreciate it. Good lighting and simple instruction. First time I tried to clean this thing it took me 3 frustrating hours and a valium. Thanks for your instruction!

I greatly appreciate the tutorial on how to field strip my Maverick 88! I did make a few mistakes along the way but nothing I wasn't able to overcome.

Haven't took apart a shotgun in years this definitely helped me out a bunch. Thanks.

Thank you very much for the tutorial....I took mine apart to clean it and was struggling to get everything line up correctly and you video saved my bacon....much appreciated.

Finally a good quality video on the good old Maverick 88. I honestly watched 4 videos before getting here and this is the only one done with a good stable camera. Thank you! Thumbs up!

Even with older quality this video saved me a trip and fees to a gunsmith. As familiar as I am with a lot of field strips, there's no way I'd have been able to learn as I go with this model. Thank you so much for this upload, and happy shooting 🤘

Dude, you saved me a hundred bucks. Had a shell stuck in the barrel of my brand new Mossberg. Followed your instructions step by step. Excellent video. Thumbs up.

Just received my aftermarket FOREND from AIM and wanted to remove the factory FOREND and replace it with the new one. As one of the other individuals already stated, "after looking at several other KZfaq assembly/disassembly videos, I found yours to be the only one that clearly depicted the internal chamber area and the parts within the receiver." Your slow, step by step instruction and your clear voice made each step of the assembly and disassembly easy to follow. This was my first time to disassemble and assemble my M88 and although it is not a complicated weapon, your instruction was excellent and made it easy for me to accomplish the exchange. Thank you.

Your video really helped me out. I hadn’t broke down my maverick. Your video was the easiest and clearest video for me. Thanks bud.

Liked and subscribed 10 years later! Just picked up a Maverick 88 and this will be very useful.

Very informative. Had the gun for 4 years and shot it about 2x. But it was time to clean it thoroughly. Thanks guy!

Thanks! Best disassembly and reassembly video. You can actually see what your doing and you don’t do it 100 mph

10 years later and this vid is still rockin😉

video was extremely helpful. I've always been an 870 kinda guy and they are extremely easy to field strip. I recently got two maverick 88 on a trade and had no idea how to strip them. one was brand new so it was clean but the other was so gummed up I could barely work the pump action. thanks for the video. it was a huge help

I just bought a maverick 88, your video still looks like the best instructional video to visually understand your shotgun, thank you very much

Thanks,I was struggling with mine but your vid got me sorted! Love the mav 88 had many high end shot guns,but find the mav 88 is so good to shot,best value too!

Great Video - I had my Maverick 88 totally disassembled after cleaning with no clue how to put it back together and now it is put back perfectly. Great clarity and details. Thank you!

I make it a point to do my "KZfaq Research" on all the guns I'm interested in. As for the Mav 88, your video is by FAR the most informative and well made. The care you took going INSIDE the weapon assisted me greatly. Thank you so much good sir.

Great video, very detailed the best 88 video! Just serviced my 88 in 7 years! Thing is a warhorse and reliable, thanks to you Ill now clean it yearly!

Thank you very much! I just purchased a Maverick 88 and I like to learn how to disassemble new guns before I shoot them. This was a very helpful video sir!

Man I was having trouble with my trigger assembly not snapping in. Thanks a shit ton.

The most clear and accurate video i have seen on this or any other shotgun. Easy to follow and good commentary about what you are doing. Great job. Thanks....

This first time cleaning mine and this was very helpful. My slide was feeling really sticky I knew it needed to be cleaned. I had rewind the video a couple of times but it only took me only about 20 to 30 minutes to strip clean and put it back together. Now the slide is just right. Thanks for the video.

Very helpful video,now I know how to field strip a pump action. I usually just unscrewed the barrel and cleaned it with oil. Thanks bro.

After shooting your firearms I was taught to always take care of them, and they will take care of you in return. If you plan on storing your firearm without using it for any length of time, it is recommended that you field strip and clean it. After a day at the range with this Mossberg Maverick Model 88 pump action shotgun, I demonstrate how to fully disassemble and then reassemble this gun during cleaning. Enjoy! This method also works on the Mossberg 500 pump action shotgun.

Might be an old video but this just helped me with my first shotgun thanks.

I just picked up my Maverick today and this is the first video I've pulled up that shows in detail how to break it down. Nice job. I really appreciate the way you displayed and explained the process.

Had mine for 8 years, never cleaned it til I found this video. Awesome step by step. Thanks!

10 years later your still helping me becuase I couldn't figure out how to get my action back back together

Awesome video! I'm a beginner and never cleaned a gun before, I went step by step along with the instructions and didn't have a problem. Thanks for all your time and effort, it really helped, you're a good teacher.

Just saying I took my maverick apart for the first time using your video,and I haven’t really taken many guns apart. And I in one attempt disassembled and assembled it,great video thanks

A great video I recently purchased one of these and today decided to disassemble and clean it today it was very helpful to see clearly inside receiver to see how it went back. I got it put back together easily. Thank you.

Best one I've seen on here I always go back and refresh my brain when it's time to clean my maverick 88 thank u

A decade after posting and now ive found this video to help me with my mav88, very nice thank you.

Thank you. the only thing I wish you had shown a bit better was putting the forearm back on. It looked a bit complicated, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Glad you posted this. I never would have been confident enough to pull all those parts out without instruction.

First time ever disassembling and reassembling my maverick. It took me a little while to put it back together but you did a great job explaining. Thank you!

Thank you so much man! I just bought a Maverick 88, first shotgun ever, and for some reason there wasn't a set of instructions in the box (good chance they're in the backseat of my car). I went to the website and found them. After attempting to read them with bad pictures I was about to have a completely disassembled shotgun on my table for a while. Your video was easy to follow along with and saved me from having to make an embarrassing call to my friends who have had shotguns for a while!

This was a great help for me! Thank you! I just got a used Maverick 88 and it had some rust in those hard to reach places on the barrel and the magazine tube. I tore it down and got it back together with ease thanks to your great quality video. Very clear instructions. Thanks again. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks Ken. The manual was not nearly as detailed as I would have liked. Your instructions made it quite easy. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video!

Thank you so much. This is my first shotgun and I had no general knowledge on field stripping this type of action, yor video is much more informative than the owners manual. Thank you and merry christmas!!

Great job, brother. Buying a Maverick 88 in a few weeks. Wanted to get ahead and learn. This video tutorial is perfect!!! Thank you so much!

great video, easy to follow... just bought my first shotgun. Maverick 88 12g. thanks brother for a great breakdown and reassembly.

Best maverick 88 disassembly and reassembly video on KZfaq right here! Thanks man!

just bought mine a few days ago. Have'nt fired it yet....but I was leary about how to clean it. now I know. very clear and informative. watched a video pryor and it was not clear at all. yours was clear and presise. nice job.

Thank you so much I was able to fix my jammed 12 Guage by watching and doing what you did. Wonderful and easy to do. You are a Life saver.

Am I the only one that has to rewatch this video whenever I have to disassemble and reassemble mine?

Agree, yours is the best video out there. Pro tip: when you're reassembling, put the slide action in first. The action bars will stay out of the way to the side when you put the action, elevator, and bolt back in, and this way you don't have to fiddle with putting the action in the action bars, you can just line them up and drop in the action right in place.

Thanks for the good video, just bought this gun for the wife for her birthday and wanted to go through it and give it a cleaning before I gave it to her, I find these tutorials on KZfaq way more helpful then the pictures in the manuals lol 👍

Thank you so much man! Big help. I had such a tough time getting this thing back together the first time I cleaned it. Now I think I've got it!

Not going to lie, your hat made me think this video was going to be a joke :), but you did an excellent job at explaining and keeping each step in camera view... very helpful

I have just purchased a Maverick 88. Your video has been a great help for me. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks man. Just got a Mav 88 and it’s my first pump shotgun so I now understand how to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance

Man thank you. I was struggling to find a good video and I finally found yours. Got my mossberg all cleaned and reassembled. Cheers bro✌😎

Video saved me. Was very clear and you could see the inside of everything. Had mine apart using the manual that came with gun. Not good pics. Was able to reassemble with ease watching your video. Thank you and great job.

Taken me nearly an hour to take mine to bits with aid of manual.man, wot a f****** carry on .watched your video and did it in 5 mins.mint. thank you.

I recently acquired my 88 (first firearm!!) and I honestly can't tell you how awesome and educational this video was. Start to finish you made it clear and easy to follow, but most importantly YOU SHOWED THE INSIDE OF THE FIREARM!!!! In a few other videos I watched, the "teacher" did everything off screen....it was a nightmare. Thanks so much! I saved this video down for future reference, you're a lifesaver. God Bless

This was the best video! my son got his cocking mechanism stuck, and this helped us fix it! wears subscribers because of thus video!!! thank you!

I took mine down ... and after much swearing FINALLY got it back together. It is NOT as easy as this video makes it out to be! I will never take it down again unless absolutely necessary.

Excellent video bro, jus got mine and you took the nervousness away from breaking it down.. THANKS

I shot a lot of shells on thanksgiving and my gun seemed to not work after that I cleaned it without dissembling it and it just wasn’t working it got so bad I would misfire Jam and every thing each round so it was kind of a hit or miss for it to shoot but after this and after I cleaned it it works better than ever and you made it very easy to follow thank you

Thank you very much for your video on the Mossberg Maverick 88. I did not have a clue on how to disassemble or reassemble the gun at all. Now, I'm okay! Thanks!

I’ll be using this when I clean my for the first time!!

Thank you very much! I just got my PAL and finally was able to get my maverick 88 shotgun back from my ex husband. Of Course he did all of this for me before I got to shoot it so now I am pumped (no pun intended) to get started learning how to do this all over again on my own! This video was super helpful along with the one you did on cleaning. Thank you so much! I have subscribed!

Thank you very much man just got an 88 maverick and your video helped me see that it's very simple and easy.

Thank you so much brother ! Just what I needed I been trying to fix my gun for 3 days watched this and worked along fixed by the end of video. Great help

"A long winded screw"....I love this guy😅😅😅

The day we all wanted

Your video saved me more than once from a faulty reassemble. Thanks for the help!

This is the best video I've seen on the subject. The first time I had to reassemble my Maverick 88 I almost pulled a John Belushi from Animal House with that guitar on my shotgun. Great video!

Thanks for the help. Made my first time diss and ass go a lot smoother than I thought it was going to.

Just got this shotgun. 6 years later, thank you.

I'm picking up one in a few days! Needed to know how to get it apart to clean it. So this video was very helpful. Thx buddy. Can't wait to get mine from the gun shop.

Thanks man!! this was so helpful. I tried to figure it out on my own for an hour. It was fun but thank you, I couldn't get it!

awesome informative video sir, I recently purchased one of these for home defense and wasn't sure of how to tear it ..THANKS!

yep I had a problem trying to get mine back together and this video was perfect ty

good video, i did it all like you said and couldn't get trigger in until God showed me one of the small pins in the trigger group was sticking out, then it went fine ! thanks and God Bless

This is the only video that is making me comfortable enough to try taking mines apart lol. Here it goes lol

Thanks. Bought a "Tanner" Mossberg 88 and thought it was defective. Watched your video several times and guess what,,,it was me! Book marked you. Thanks!

This was a really great video...really helped when I ran into issues with getting the slide connected to the bolt!

I wanna clean my gun, but I don't wanna mess up by taking it all apart you make it look soo easy.

Thank you for a clear view of the inside of the receiver. The owner's manual is OK but it is so helpful to me to see what you've done.

Good info I just got a mossberg maverick 88

Thanks dude! just bought lightly used Maverick 88 today and this video definitely help! Very simple and clear instructions. cheers!

Superb job my friend! Easy to see and understand. Glad it was in HD detail, too! Excellent video. Keep it up!

Thank you for making this video. I found it very educational and you took us through the whole process step by step. Your presentation was very good and easy to follow and it helped me immensely. This video is so well done that I posted it in my guns and ammo group on Facebook. Thanks again!

OHHHHHHHHH!!!!! The Forearms lock into the action!!! BRO! THANK YOU!!! This helped me out alot!!!

Very helpful thank you for the tutorial, I will be changing my plastic for end, and stock, on my 88, so to change the for end, it's necessary to to strip the shot gun, to take off the for end

Thanks - Very informative for disassembly and assembly. Visual shots are clear to see and understand.

THANKS for this !!!!! I was having a hard time reassembling mine. This video helped me figure out what I was missing.
