I received an Academy GC from my in laws for Christmas so I used it to buy a Mossberg Maverick 88.
My intent was to buy the security model with the shorter barrrel, but of course I went home with the longer barrel. I can either have a gun shop cut the current barrel down or buy a Mossberg 500 18.5" barrel. Chopping will save me about $40 in the end. I don't do any duck or clay shooting so no need to keep the current one, just worried about compromising the integrity of the barrel if it gets chopped down.
Opinions??
