From someone who uses firearms for his duty purposes and is constantly modding, buying and selling firearms, I can definitely throw in a tip. When utilizing a shell holder for a shotgun, generally speaking you never want to put the shells in from the bottom side in the holder, if you dictate battles in your head, the recoil of a shotgun and potentially throwing the shotgun around in a situation of home clearing or having to jump for cover or the such, can all make the shells fall out of the shell holder, regardless of how tight they are within it, I used the monstrum shell holder on a Mossberg 500 and demonstrated such failure. By putting the shells in from the top it not only secures the shells, but it already puts your thumb and pointer finger in the ready to load position instead of having to stick your thumb into the top and push the shell down and then grab to load. It saves literal seconds. Keeping it unloaded like you said can be essentially safe for children obviously, but I won’t unload my firearms. Someone can kick a door in first time kick and only give you like 10 seconds to realize and react. Id rather have the shotgun put under my pillow, on safe, and only loaded in the tube than to have it unloaded and sitting somewhere useless. Always treat firearms like they’re loaded and practice it. If someone “forgets” a gun could be loaded, thats someone who lacks practice.
Did I just hear you say, your m&p 15 sport assault rifle? If I were you I would remove this video from the interwebs forever! Just a thought. Your m&p 15 sport semi-automatic rifle is definitely, positively, absolutely not an assault rifle.!
Thanks for the info and links. Bought my 88 and upgraded it also have a light attached all together. Under 600 bucks for everything it’s a mean set up can’t wait to hit the range!
I’m looking to build my 88 and when I was looking at those stocks at first I said I didn’t like it, but upon further inspection I freaking dig it. I initially wanted to go with the whole adjustable stock and pistol grip but now I will definitely be going with that one
Nicely done. I've been thinking about getting a 88 as a project shotgun. I know it's a matter of personal preference, but I would paint the receiver and barrel with a matte finish to enhance the badass look of it. Thanks for sharing.
The word 'Assault' just means to attack. Often specifically in a military-style raid. And even within the military, semi-automatic fire is far more common in order to maintain precision and stability. Assault =/= Automatic And when the rifle I'm mentioning is specifically the same model as the most widely used Assault weapon in the history of firearms, yeah, it's an Assault Rifle. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. The only people trying to make a distinction are those hopelessly attempting to preserve some sort of innocence to the weapon. It kills people. It kills a lot of people. That's what it's designed to do. That's what the lion's share of them are being used for. I'm not the one being obtuse here.
I dont mind the pistol grip on mine. Coming out of the Navy I used the 590 upgraded with a pistol grip all the time. It made it easier for breaching and hip fire. Didnt have to aim as much
Shotguns are generally not drop safe, so its a good idea to not keep one in the chamber, having the chamber loaded up isnt a problem though as you should treat it as if its loaded anyways.
I just picked up the Mossberg 590 with a factory installed heat shield for $425 also purchased the Hogue rubber over molded forend and butt stock. You can't go wrong with a Mossberg. 👍
Agreed, the Hogue pistol grip is a comfortable add on. Cushioned in the handle, it's also bad ass looking! A small price on turning a rifle into the biggest handgun on the block.
Your safety concerns are valid, but overcome with more training. Otherwise, still do what you do. I like the set-up. You're also corract a 500 action tube is required for the use of a magpul forend. I use the Ergo stock adapter with just a a2 grip and regular m4 stock. Just looks hard and very simple, I love it. It lives in a trunk and smashes tiny mammals for fun. I love how you roast people 😂. Keep it up Bro 👍🏻
Looking to buy an 88. It’ll actually be my first shotgun. So far heard 95% good reviews and I’m sold. Once purchased I will be upgrading. Hopefully it’s tomorrow.
Keep in mind it is cheap for a reason. The trigger assembly is plastic so if you're too rough with it, it could break. But for general purpose shootery, it should be fine.
Imma tell you right now go for it I bought mine for 170 and I looked it up and it’s now 220 for the 88 thing is a beast over 1,000 rounds through mine with out a problem
Wow with all those upgrades, think you convinced me to just purchase the Mossberg 590 A1 with Magpul Furniture Already installed. It has the Thick Barrel so no need for a Heat Shield. No having to Mod the Furniture as you put it. Another strong selling point is the Cerakote Finish applied... I have heard that people adding Heat Shields to the Maverick 88 need to rethink this option. The reason for which is that it hastens the build-up of Rust due to moisture build up underneath the Heat Shield. That said, cool video and thanks for the walk thru.
Oh for sure. If you've got the scratch, def go for the 590. I personally really prefer the crossbar safety on the Maverick, so for me, having that on the budget option was a no-brainer. As for the moisture build-up, I don't think heat shields typically seat tight enough to the barrel to really cause that problem, but maybe that's more of a problem with the metal ones.
Just picked up an 88 today. Exactly what I was looking for and this video detailed exactly what I'd want to do with it. Thanks! Keep doing your thing Bro!
@hrdkorebp but then that makes it even more expensive when you want to put your own furniture on. So going with the 88 which is essentially the 500, you can still spend roughly the same to make it you own
@@josephj5831 I used a cheap set of Amazon hand-file tools over an empty cardboard box and just ran the length of the largest and flattest tool back and forth on the shield, testing the fitment every 50-100 passes or so, until I was able to comfortably run the pump-action without too much lock-up. If I'm being honest, I probably *should* clear off even more material for a smoother action, but I'm happy with it for the time being.

@@roproart6529 Unfortunately I haven't put too many rounds through since making this video.

@@masonphelps7964 Fully aware. Nowhere in this video did I attempt to claim otherwise either. You're also probably like the 200th person to make a comment about it.
0:58 Stop calling it an 'AR Assault Rifle'. It's an AR Armalite Rifle. You're using the language of 2A opponents and fueling the problem. Great video otherwise, appreciate your insight on pistol grips installed on shotguns.
As addressed in many other comments, and videos uploaded after this one, I am well aware that AR stands for Armalite Rifle. That does not in any way disqualify the designation and purpose of the firearm as an assault rifle.
@@YamiadraDJ "Assault rifles" are, by definition, capable of select-fire. The AR-15 is not capable of this and therefore does not fall under the designation of an assault rifle.
@@YamiadraDJ don't concede I'm sure these 2a Sally's have used the term on accident before themselves. They act like by you using that term, somebody will show up at their house. Great video.
@@MeMe-ef5fw I had not realized exactly how specific the term was in relation to firearms. Clutch their pearls as they may, I was technically incorrect.
I'm looking to give the ole Mav some upgrades... glad I stumbled upon your video. Thanks for the info and breakdown on your rig, I dig it and plan to do something similar. Keep up the good work.
Did the exact same build but with a flashlight and a reflex sight, I don’t recommend the slide street tactical heat shield with the magpul MOE fore end, I filed down both sides of the heat shield all the way down to the first row of holes , the shield ended up fitting but there is still too much material left on the shield that is still in the way of the action slide. Just use the Mossberg 500 heat shield and crimp it on to your barrel.
I've used pistol grip stocks for a while, do not treat it like a pistol, treat it like a rifle, let your shoulder, like a rifle, absorb the most of the recoil.
@@natedean5815 This one was also the cruiser/security (18.5" barrel) the action I needed was 7¾". As far as I know, those are getting very difficult to find and increasingly expensive. As a reference so you don't grossly overpay, I bought mine for $60.
I feel you with the pistol grip. I had to get a laser and get good at hip fire. I loaded a 2 inch slug, aimed like i had a stock and got slapped pretty good in the face. I like the pistol grip and defense barrel for maneuvering but when i ran live fire drills, my accuracy sucked. Takes a lot of practice
Correct. This is because the Maverick 88 typically has an action slide that uses action bars that are molded into the plastic foregrip. Thus preventing any sort of swapping. If you simply disassemble the platform and replace the Maverick action assembly with a 7¾ slide tube (typically intended for Mossberg 500) in 12g of course, then you can utilize the Magpul forend on that new, replaced action tube. Without replacing that, you will not be able to use the Magpul forend on the Maverick 88.
so can you buy any action tube to replace fore-end? I have the maverick 88 security with 20" barrel. can i buy just any 7"3/4 action tube and add any new fore-end?
I would definitely make sure it's meant for a 12 gauge if nothing else, but yes in theory that should work. Certainly continue your research though until you can make your purchase confidently.
Good video, can't be wrong if you like it. What you added on is practical and I took notes and got heat guard from this build, good price. I don't like the sidesaddle I rather have the ammo sling just my personal opinion, but everything else is reasonable. Keep it up.
When i first looked at this guy i was like oh another youtube pro lol, although i found this very helpful. I bought a hogue grip, tacstar side saddle and a hogue forend for the M500 but it didnt work. Thanks man
Great video and love how you tricked out your 88! Looks too cool! I just got a HD 88 myself and wish I could trick it out like yours but I’d screw it up trying lol
It's really not all that hard. Just do your research and watch a bunch of UA-cam videos that explain how to install. There's no limit to the things you can learn watching UA-cam tutorials.
A few things for you. Nice upgrades to your shotgun! They look great. Stop putting yourself down! Everyone is better and smarter than they give themselves credit for. Learn to speak edifying words to yourself and about yourself. Reduce your cussing and you will get more subscribers.
I understand not keeping one In the chamber bc it’s a shotgun and there is no drop safety. However should at least keep it cruiser ready if it is for home defense.
I got mine at Sportsman's Warehouse. I believe the brand is Voodoo Tactical. I will warn though, it's a snug fit with all the upgrades I put on, and any optics you throw on are going to impede the functionality of the scabbard even further.
I spent like 30 minutes filing, then tried to fit it, and felt it was still too tight. Went at it for another 30 mins and was satisfied with the fit. Again, I highly suggest using a box or kiddie pool or tarp or *something* to catch the shavings and make clean-up easier.
Well, I already have fairly small hands as it is, so it doesn't take much to stop em. But that being said, the forend itself is already shaped and sloped to disuade the hand from progressing beyond the forend, so it could honestly be argued the hand-stop is unnecessary or even overkill. That said, I've since purchased an additional hand-stop and replaced the nub side with another horn-style stop, so whether for pulling or pushing, my hand is not leaving the forend during operation.
That foreign is also designed to keep your fingers from getting burned that's why it goes up so high see you technically wouldn't need a magpul for end and a heat shield. I left my stock for end on because I kind of like the way it looks and I added the heat shield. Mine is similar. It's a 20" barrel with a 7 round tube, Magpul stock, tactical scorpion gear side saddle, and I added a picatinny rail at the end of the magazine with an offset 18650 sofirn flashlight. The total package is not very expensive
Got mine in lin 2010 for $200 and it came with stock and pistol grip. Stock when shooting it and pistol grip when its under the bed. Ive shot 100s of 00 BK with the pistol grip on it, its not that bad.
I clicked the link for the magpul forend. The site says that the magul forend for the 590 isnt compatible with the mav 88. Is the forend for the 590 the one you have in the video? Thx
Yes. The Maverick 88 does not come stock with it's own action tube, but it does accept an action tube (for 500/590). To install the forend, you will first need to replace the existing forend with the 7¾" action tube. At that point, you'll be able to make the installation.
@@pigpaul Honestly can't remember exactly. Think it was some hex wrenches for the initial screws in the buttpad and then a long socket driver for the bolt holding it into the stock. But I couldn't recall which measurements.

When i first looked at this guy i was like oh another youtube pro lol, although i found this very helpful. I bought a hogue grip, tacstar side saddle and a hogue forend for the M500 but it didnt work. Thanks man
I'm definitely not a pro, at anything, much less firearms. 😅
sick build man!
Great video and love how you tricked out your 88! Looks too cool! I just got a HD 88 myself and wish I could trick it out like yours but I’d screw it up trying lol
It's really not all that hard. Just do your research and watch a bunch of UA-cam videos that explain how to install. There's no limit to the things you can learn watching UA-cam tutorials.
Nice job on the mods and video
Great video, but reversing the image always bakes my noodle. Thanks for sharing. Getting to work on my new Maverick today.
Reversing what image?
@@YamiadraDJ In the video I see the ejection port is on the left side of the receiver and the writing on the hat is backwards.
@@benitosalazar3749 Ah, yeah. It was filmed on a selfie camera of a phone. I didn't intentionally flip anything.
@@YamiadraDJ Ok. Still a good vid. Going to add that same heat shield and side saddle to mine. Thanks again.
nice maverick 88 looks badass
Thanks for showing off your loot drops
A few things for you. Nice upgrades to your shotgun! They look great. Stop putting yourself down! Everyone is better and smarter than they give themselves credit for. Learn to speak edifying words to yourself and about yourself. Reduce your cussing and you will get more subscribers.
What action tube did you use? Maverick looks great! Thanks
I understand not keeping one In the chamber bc it’s a shotgun and there is no drop safety. However should at least keep it cruiser ready if it is for home defense.
Best 88 I’ve ever seen very nice gun
Thanks!
Nice work man, looks good
A fine piece right there
I love my security model. Holds about 9 2 3/4 shells.
This guy is equipped to defend his moms basement and his Xbox
The dream, tbh
Good looking shotgun. Where can I get that case you store it in ?
I got mine at Sportsman's Warehouse. I believe the brand is Voodoo Tactical. I will warn though, it's a snug fit with all the upgrades I put on, and any optics you throw on are going to impede the functionality of the scabbard even further.
Very nice upgrades! Question: How much did you have to file the Magpul grip down? ( Tedious like alot or a little)?
I spent like 30 minutes filing, then tried to fit it, and felt it was still too tight. Went at it for another 30 mins and was satisfied with the fit.
Again, I highly suggest using a box or kiddie pool or tarp or *something* to catch the shavings and make clean-up easier.
Your foregrip hand stop is on the wrong side. It supposed to be on the end near the muzzle to keep your hand from slipping and blowing it off.
Well, I already have fairly small hands as it is, so it doesn't take much to stop em. But that being said, the forend itself is already shaped and sloped to disuade the hand from progressing beyond the forend, so it could honestly be argued the hand-stop is unnecessary or even overkill.
That said, I've since purchased an additional hand-stop and replaced the nub side with another horn-style stop, so whether for pulling or pushing, my hand is not leaving the forend during operation.
Thanks for the info. I have a stock Maverick needs work.
Good ideas.
Nice!!!! 😍 I gotta get me some magpul handstops. Love the video. 💯
That thing is bad ass
Most guns usually come out the box totally usable...
That is absolutely correct. No argument here.
I know dude's gotta get views, i have tried magpul on M88, truth be told she looks as pretty with stock stuff. Add a flashlight for sure
Question, with the Magpul SGA stock on the Maverick 88 can your remove the trigger group without loosening the Stock?
Why would you want to
Because removing the trigger group is the only way to disassemble the 88 to clean it.
@@ATS357 i don't clean guns
@@mrs.vasquezz I hope someone cleans them for you:)
@@ATS357 nopa
That foreign is also designed to keep your fingers from getting burned that's why it goes up so high see you technically wouldn't need a magpul for end and a heat shield. I left my stock for end on because I kind of like the way it looks and I added the heat shield. Mine is similar. It's a 20" barrel with a 7 round tube, Magpul stock, tactical scorpion gear side saddle, and I added a picatinny rail at the end of the magazine with an offset 18650 sofirn flashlight. The total package is not very expensive
How did you get the magpul forend on it? Because i know its not removable like the 500???
Everything is removable with the right attitude. 😉
But no yeah I had to completely dissasemble the weapon.
Got mine in lin 2010 for $200 and it came with stock and pistol grip. Stock when shooting it and pistol grip when its under the bed. Ive shot 100s of 00 BK with the pistol grip on it, its not that bad.
I clicked the link for the magpul forend. The site says that the magul forend for the 590 isnt compatible with the mav 88. Is the forend for the 590 the one you have in the video? Thx
Yes. The Maverick 88 does not come stock with it's own action tube, but it does accept an action tube (for 500/590). To install the forend, you will first need to replace the existing forend with the 7¾" action tube. At that point, you'll be able to make the installation.
@@YamiadraDJ perfect! I understand now. Thank you. Im currently working on my own mav 88 build. This video was great.
@@losmoney82 Happy to hear it!
Brownells has anything you will need and explain it well on their site.
Beautiful
Thats how i want mines to be
Did you ever get a red dot or something for that rail?
I did try a micro red dot, but I didn't end up liking it.
Can you please say what the measurement what you need to take off the stock. Thanks.
I'm not sure what you're asking. Could you elaborate?
What tool did you use for the tools.
@@pigpaul Honestly can't remember exactly. Think it was some hex wrenches for the initial screws in the buttpad and then a long socket driver for the bolt holding it into the stock. But I couldn't recall which measurements.
Love it bro
Sweet 88 I want to get mine just like this one!
