Maverick 88 Folding Stock

[TrumpetBoy]

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on the Mossberg Maverick 88 Security with the folding stock?  They look kind of cool. I’m just not sure what purpose it would really serve. I’m also thinking that the folding stock wouldn’t feel as comfortable or stable as a regular stock.

I don't have any experience with that particular model but folding stocks typically make it easier to transport and can make it easier to wield in small quarters at the expense of stability. The ones I have used haven't impressed me much, I would rather a fixed stock shotgun for general purpose or one of the AOW shotguns for breaching if that was your thing.

I would think camping is the only thing I can come up with to save room and weight. For every thing else a regular shotgun would serve better

I owned a Maverick 88(not Security) with the Top folding stock. The edges on the cheekweld area of that particular stock were quite sharp and cut my cheek when firing so I ended up selling it.

Cool concept though if you can't store a fixed stock but I would recommend a different folding stock.

Are Mavericks parts compatible with Mossberg 500s?

Some, not all. 

If anyone is considering a 6 position, M4 style stock, I can recommend them (and also have one for sale )
