One thing to note, the Mossberg has a tang mounted safety and the Maverick has a trigger mounted safety. If you want to use an aftermarket stock with a pistol grip, may be easier to manipulate the safety on a Maverick.
My understanding always was the maverick is a 500 with 870 style controls.
Yeah, Maverick's safety is closer to the 870, also part of the trigger assembly, but is located further from the grip.
Me neither, although I do have one of those Mavericks. Makes for a good camp shotgun. It can take a beating and you won't feel bad loaning it out. Just needs a front sling stud and a sling, and you're good to go.
That's really subjective.
The aftermarket for the 88/500 is very decent, it's more difficult to find security barrels though. You can easily throw a stock on an 88 or a 500 but changing the action is more tedious if you don't have a 590 with the 7" 3/4 action slide and nut.
Really cool pistol tier sight radius bro
I wonder how accurate it is at 100 yards.
It's good to know how deep the aftermarket for the Maverick is. It's getting tempting between it and the RIA VRPA 40, of which I could use and share magazines with my brother, and it only being 299 at most places like sportsman's.
Now you have to think like a logistician: How great is the need to share magazines? If you have a tube-fed gun that you like more, you don't need magazines in the first place.It's good to know how deep the aftermarket for the Maverick is.

Still, glad your project seems to be coming together, and I'm glad for the input, it does have me considering the Maverick as a serious contender
True. But with magazines I can reload faster, and my ammo capacity increases greatly depending on the mag. Logistics and decisions indeed. Again, both are very tempting.
There are some other factors too, mainly that it's easier and faster to top up a tube mag shotgun with loose shells, and that shotgun mags are often bulky and snag on everything. Also the plastic hull of a shell can get deformed from sitting in a box mag for too long, can cause feeding issues, etc. Tube mags are more reliable generally.
Depends on your feelings about Israel.
The deformation of the shell is something I didn't think of, though to be fair, I'd most likely keep it unloaded with a box nearby; I still have my revolver if I don't have time. The rest are very much noted, which is why I'm not ruling out the Maverick, it's a action I already know and it's pretty reliable. I might just end up with both in the next few years lol.
Nevermind the pistol, check out that patch; like it began as an AR, but then the Asian embroiderer got lost in the sauce. But even better is someone at SH(?)___ COAST TACTICAL pencilwhipped & actually paid for those patches, although it's not surprising, given that mutilated & defaced abomination of a pistol.
If there's intent to change foregrip, a 500 may be better, as the action bars in the Mav are pinned to the forend and you need to buy replacement bars (and I think forend tube) to change the forend. Never actually did the math to see what comes out more though.
