Mossberg Maverick 88 Cruiser 12 gauge 20 inch 8+1 Blued Barrel Synthetic Stock

The Maverick 88 Cruiser from Mossberg brings pump action reliability and compact handling in a 12 gauge package that's built on the proven Mossberg 500 platform for home defense, range work and truck or boat carry, with a 20-inch blued barrel, 3-inch chamber and a durable black synthetic pistol grip stock that keeps weight around 6 pounds for easy maneuvering in tight spaces. With an 8-shot tubular capacity (7+1), bead front sight and cylinder bore choke, this Cruiser model offers fast follow-up shots, simple sighting and compatibility with common defensive and field loads, while the crossbolt safety and rugged construction make it approachable for new shooters and trusted by experienced users. The shorter overall length and pistol grip make room clearing and storage in confined areas straightforward, and the American-made build speaks to long service life and straightforward maintenance. If you want a compact pump action shotgun for home protection, rural property patrol or an intuitive field backup, the Maverick 88 Cruiser combines tactical utility, shooter-friendly ergonomics and Mossberg's reputation, noting that federal firearms transfer via FFL is required.
