A Maverick M88 and a Mossberg M500 are the exact same gun. Not really much aftermarket stuff around for either of 'em. The 870 is the king for that.
However, you need to decide on a budget first.
"...buckshot in a rifled barrel..." Any shot fired out of a rifled barrel flies in a spiral sending the shot all over and leaves great big holes in the pattern.
