Have not had a chance to shoot it. I will update once I run some rounds through it. 9/30/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Glenn Shelton, CT This is a bad ass little shotgun. Its a Mossberg so there was no question it would run smoothly. Mechanics on it are smooth and tight. Fit and finish is very nice. I added a blued heat shield to give it a "trench gun" look. KYGUNCO cannot be beat in terms of pricing and shipping. I purchased this on a Thursday and it was at my FFL's house on Sunday morning. Couldn't be more pleased. 3/12/2023 ** ** ** ** ** ** Verified Customer Transaction with KYGUNCO was efficient and easy, have not been to the range with the Maverick yet, but it cycles smooth on both 2 3/4" and 1 3/4" shells if you use the OPSOL mini-clip. 8/8/2022 ** ** ** ** ** ** Eugene Simmons Chicago, IL I am very pleased with this purchase. 12/3/2020 ** ** ** ** ** ** aaron beck Onsted, MI Loce the mossberg classic!!
