AT Maverick 88 Pump 12ga 18.5″ MultiCam 10rd Shotgun

Description

Let’s cut to the chase. The AT Maverick 88 Pump 12ga 18.5″ 2.75″ Barrel, MultiCam Synthetic Adjustable Stock, PG Black, 10rd is a purpose-built, high-capacity home and tactical defense shotgun. It’s a Mossberg 500 derivative with a rugged MultiCam finish, an adjustable stock for a perfect fit, and a massive 10-round tube magazine. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of everything from birdshot to slugs through this platform, and here’s my take: it’s a workhorse that gets the job done without fuss. For $551.68, you’re getting serious capability right out of the box.

Key Features

• 10-Round Capacity: That extended magazine tube gives you a significant tactical advantage and reduces reload stress.
• MultiCam Synthetic Furniture: The adjustable LOP stock and forend aren’t just for looks—they provide a durable, weather-resistant grip and a customizable fit.
• Proven Action: Built on the legendary Mossberg 500 design, it shares many parts with its more expensive sibling for proven reliability.
• 18.5″ Barrel: The perfect length for maneuverability indoors or in tight spaces without sacrificing too much velocity.

Here’s the thing—this isn’t a finesse shotgun for the clay range. It’s a tool. The weight, unloaded, sits around 7 to 7.5 pounds, which helps manage recoil with heavier loads. The 18.5-inch cylinder-bore barrel is ideal for defensive spreads, and the dual action bars provide a smooth, reliable pump stroke. The cross-bolt safety is right under your thumb, a classic Mossberg setup that’s intuitive to use. This configuration is drop-in ready for a weapon light or laser in the forend, and the stock’s adjustability means it can fit a wider range of shooters comfortably. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

Who This Shotgun Is For

This Maverick 88 is for the homeowner who wants a serious, no-nonsense defensive tool without a four-figure price tag. It’s also a solid choice for a prepper’s kit or as a rugged truck gun. If you value high capacity and adaptability over a refined finish, this is your shotgun. It’s not meant for hunting or competitive shooting—its role is clear.

Pros & Cons

Pros: The 10-round capacity is a huge benefit. The MultiCam finish and synthetic furniture are tough and low-maintenance. The adjustable stock is a fantastic feature often missing from budget shotguns. And the price? For a 10+1 pump gun, it’s hard to beat. Reliability is inherited from a proven design.

Cons: It’s a long shotgun with that tube mag, so vehicle storage can be tricky. The finish, while durable, won’t win beauty contests. Some may find the action a bit stiff initially, but it wears in nicely. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this compatible with Mossberg 500 parts?

A: Mostly, yes. The action and barrel are compatible with many Mossberg 500 components. However, the forend assembly on the Maverick 88 uses a single action bar pin instead of the twin pins on the 500, so forend swaps require a specific kit. Stocks and most accessories are interchangeable.

Q: What’s the actual length of pull adjustment range?

A: The adjustable stock typically offers around 1.5 to 2 inches of adjustment, letting you tailor it from a more compact setting for use with body armor or winter clothing to a full-length setting for a more traditional shotgun fit.

Q: Can it fire 3″ magnum shells?

A: No. The chamber is specifically for 2.75″ shells, as noted in the product name. This is common for higher-capacity defensive models to keep the magazine tube a manageable length. It will handle any standard 2.75″ load, from light target loads to powerful buckshot and slugs.

Look, if you need a dependable, high-capacity shotgun for defense that won’t break the bank, this AT Maverick 88 configuration deserves a hard look. It’s a straightforward tool that does its job well. See the full details on our site.
