    So i have been looking and trying to find a reliable site to purchase a 18.5" barrel for my Maverick 88. I can not find one that has reviews and I feel I can trust. Does anyone know of a reliable site that I can purchase that and other parts for it from?

    I just bought a 28” barrel for my mossberg 500 on ebay. It is brand new and was only $79. Id check there first. The 88 and 500 have interchangeable barrels

    Also I have an older barrel for my 500 that was cut down to 18.5-19”. It has a front bead sight. Its not threaded for chokes but you are welcome to have it if you are near DFW or north Texas

    A hacksawed barrel is easy enough to square off with patience and a square and couple of files.
    Crowning with a rat tail inside (don't scratch the bore) and flat file outside is a bit time consuming but after cold bluing it will look great.

    See I was seeing them on Ebay I've just had bad experiences with things on Ebay in general so was kind of iffy about it.

    Unless you get some great deal Academy usually sells complete Mavericks for like $179 and Atwoods sells them for $230 or so with 2 barrels. I like my 18.5 inch gun but I should have bought at Atwoods and got 2 barrels. On the other hand I have 6 shotguns and the Maverick is just my home security gun loaded with #4 buck.

    If you cut a 12ga barrel, you can crown it with a golf ball and valve lapping compound.

    Cut the S.G. barrel down and you have a scattergun. Crown doesn't help much. S.G. have a forcing cone and mild choke on the barrel. Squareness of the cut will make a difference.
