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 TexasSo 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?
Thank you!!!Welcome to the Forum!
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.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
I've used a marble and compound on rifled barrels and a ping pong ball on shotgun barrels. I'm guessing the golf ball would work better.If you cut a 12ga barrel, you can crown it with a golf ball and valve lapping compound.
