The Maverick Arms 88 Cruiser delivers reliable pump-action performance in a compact, maneuverable package designed for close-quarters applications. This 12-gauge shotgun combines proven Mossberg 500 compatibility with value-focused engineering. The pistol grip configuration and 20-inch barrel create an ideal balance of control and effectiveness.
What Makes This Different
The 88 Cruiser features dual extractors that ensure consistent shell ejection, reducing the likelihood of extraction failures common in single-extractor designs. The anti-jam elevator mechanism prevents shells from binding during feeding cycles, maintaining smooth operation under rapid fire conditions. At 7+1 capacity with 3-inch chamber capability, it matches full-size shotgun performance in a more compact platform.Key Features
