Good solid choice druryj. I have a friend that has that one and he swears by it. Of course accessories are up to the individual's preferences and can lead to some healthy discussions on the need to have them mounted on shotguns but I think the majority of us would agree there's a certain piece of mind that comes with having a shotgun close at hand in case the need arises.
Did they change the design? I had an 88 about 6 years ago and I put model 500 woods stocks on it no problem.
I am not sure; it is my understanding that you can change to wood, but you have to change out a bunch of stuff because of the foreskin thing; probably bring the price up to where I could have just bought a 500 to start with. But I don't plan to change nuthin' all I',m gonna do is shoot it some., keep it clean and oiled and let it sit until the day I hope I don't need it for it's intended purpose. But I am confident that it will put big holes in anything I shoot with it.
You can change it, but the fore end is molded onto the slide arms. To change it you have to replace both the arms and the furniture .
Wow! A thread about pump action scatterguns? I thought they were out of style these days. I thought they were all replaced with AR-15s.
Being a shotgun lover myself, I gotta tell ya, the 88 Mav is probably the best bang for the buck when it comes to shotguns. I had a Mav back in the day. Ran almost as good as my 500. Just don't feed it any 3 inch magnum loads. I'm talking NONE! I probably fired less than a dozen through mine and it locked up the action tight as a drum. Stick with 2 3/4s and you'll be ok.

I had one and it did exactly what you want it to do, for half the price of alot of other shotguns.
Only reason I upgraded is I wanted the Mossberg with the IFL and as noted above, you have to swap a bunch of stuff to add it. I'd add another to my safe if I came across a good used one like what sold in the classifieds earlier.

Argh... are all synthetic pump fore-ends installed this way? :/
Particularly a Rock Island M5...
