I have a maverick 88 shotgun with a 28" barrel and I have found out recently that I shoot best (In skeet, which is the only thing I use a shotgun for) with my uncle's 590 (46/50). I do not own the 590 so I want to buy a short barrel for my maverick, and that will cost a little over 70 bucks. I could buy the barrel, or sell my gun and buy the home security model that costs 150 dollars. By doing that I could get what I want and not have to wait and have a new gun.

To do that I would need to sell my moderately used maverick 88 with 97-99% blueing for 80 bucks. Would a gunshop give me this much for it? BTW, it retails for 140 dollars.

Thanks in advance,
rugerdude
