Probably. I mean the 88 is the same gun as the 500 right?

no you can not use that rail on the mavrick 88. i have both the mavrick 88 and the mossberg 500. you can use it on the 500. im pretty sure u can change the fore end. u cannot use a mossberg 500 fore end on the 88. you can get a scope mount that attaches to the trigger pins.

Forends can be swapped between the 500 and the 88... there are 2 lengths of fore end tube used by mossberg so you just have to get the stock for your length tube.

Out of curiosity, what are the two lengths? And, I assume the longer one holds more shells? Can you change from one tube to another?

Quote:
Comparison of action slide lengths: top 7-5/8”, bottom 6-1/2” Measure from top of threads to bottom of collar that holds the action bars. This measurement is critical to fit when ordering forearms or stock sets that include a forearm. For the most part, 20-year and older sporting shotguns and new tactical shotguns use the 7-5/8” slide. New sporting models have used the 6-1/2” slide for almost 20 years. There are exceptions, however. To be sure, measure! NOTE: Since 2006, most new 500®, 535® and 835® sporting shotguns with synthetic forearms may not use an action slide tube at all; rather, the pump handle will have two integral bars pinned into the handle itself. If you have one of these, you cannot use a forearm that was designed to go over an action slide tube without first buying the correct length tube and action slide tube nut.
It is the tube that rides on the mag tube, no bearing on round count...
