I looked at one today in a 20 gauge at Wal-mart for $187. Looking to set up a 20 for my son. Has anyone here ever set up a Maverick? Thought I read before that the barrels were the same as the 835's. Is this correct? What choke/shell combo did you go with. Thanks!

They are an entry level shotgun. Barrels interchange with the Mossberg Model 500 but most other parts do not.
I've only seen those guns in 12 gauge with the standard bore barrel.
Personally, if possible, I'd go with the Mossberg 500.
Thanks,

It is a plain winchester thread. 12 ga put 660 if it a 20ga put a 562 and go kill birds. Good gun just got a kick to it.
I just saw one of them last Saturday at a wal mart. Put my hands on her and I gotta say I liked what I saw. NOT a Mossy 500 20 gauge, but for $187.00?...good place to start I'd say. You could always just use it for bunnies...
I got an 88... Love that gun only down fall I got is no thread in my barrel so can't get a choke for it... Solid gun and can't beat the price!

I thought they all were threaded for chokes. I've never seen one with a fixed choked. Learn something everyday.

I think mine is like a 1996 ish? 28" barrel chambered for 2 3/4 and 3"
I've got a 88 killed a many of birds with it. Chokes interchange with the Mossberg 500, Winchester, and Browning invector style threads...I love my gun but I does have a little kick
