I own a Mossberg Maverick Model 88 pump-action 12 guage shotgun, with an 18.5" barrel. The acquisition of this weapon was appropriate to my defensive needs and economic situation at the time that it was purchased.
I'm now in a position to purchase a "better" shotgun. All suggestions from TFL's members are welcome. The brand in question is not important, although I would prefer to purchase a weapon that is American made. The intended use of this device will remain tactical. That being said, the barrel should at least be interchangable if an 18.5" barrel isn't standard.
I should echo my dad's sentiments here: I won't complain about price, but I will complain about quality.
One more thing...I'll have owned my Model 88 for one year on/about Dec 8th. The purchase price was $189.00, and I've only fired 10 shells through it. What would be an appropriate trade-in value to accept from my dealer?
Thanks,
Tall Man
