Slug barrel for a Maverick 88

Do they make a slug barrel for a Maverick 88 with the 8 round tube?

The slug barrels are 24" so if the current barrel is the same or shorter it should work.

Any Mossberg 500 barrel will fit also

I concur, i have a 20ga 88, any 500 barrel will fit

I think the problem here is the 8 round mag guys. I don't think most barrels will fit the 8 round mag, everything is pretty much made for the 6 rounders.

Doing some research, it doesn't look like there's a slug barrel available that will fit the 8 rounder.

Yes, the rifled slug barrel for the six round capacity, (five in the tube, one in the chamber) seems to be the normal one.

For any more than that, you will probably have to go with the 590, or the eight round 500, with suitable slugs for a smooth bore.

For shots up to 75 yards and a little beyond, smooth bore slugs can be very accurate.
