Is this a good trade?

[LenoirGunner]

I have a Mossberg 715t that I am looking to trade for anything just about. I have had a guy offer me a maverick 88 shotgun with some $$.

I was just wondering if this was a good shotgun. I trust your opinions on it.  It has the 28" barrel. I was wondering if the Mossberg barrels would fit it since I would want it to be a truck gun with an 18" barrel. I can not bring myself to bubba a good shotgun barrel. It seems to be a fair offer, but sometimes you just don't know. Not a whole lot of info out there on the aftermarket for this gun accessories wise. Thanks for the help.

Fantastic shotgun

I purchased this shotgun for well under $200 at my local store after comparing a few others (Remington 870, Charles Daly, etc)

and settled on this one due to the modified choke and large barrel. I LOVE THIS SHOTGUN!

 

It's a wally world mossie...

I just want to know if Mossberg 500 barrels will fit it. If they do it is a go. I just don't need another shotgun with a long barrel.

[UncleJak]

They fit!  I have a 88 and love it. I bought mine for 180 out the door.

[Lowpower]

huh? LG please take a second and read the first feature....

 

Wait ill copy it for you.

They would have to kick in close to $100 bucks probably. The 28" Mav 88 sells new for $178 at Academy.

I got a deal I am happy with. Yes LP I read it. He had some extras on the gun plus cash. So fine with me. I got a gun I will use a lot more than that 715t.
