Thank you, shipmate... Like a lot of other stuff, it is just something to buy....

can somebody with a mossie 500 or a mavv 88 that has the 18.5 inch barrel give me a measurement from the bead to the back of the reciever? I'm at work and a guy has an aimtech warhammer, but i don't know if I can use it when I've got the short barrel on...

That's what I was thinking you guys would say. Am I also to understand that the plain heat shield is also a bit of a garbage product? I'm putting it on a mav 88. To be honest, it's more decorative than anything else, but if my decoration is going to be sliding about maybe I should go another...

Has anyone purchased a heat shield with the ghost ring sights? Are sight adjustments possible?

I know that it is not necessary, but I want to put a bayonet lug on my Mav 88. I should be able to order my short barrel today after work. I've looked all over and I'm not finding a lug that sates "Mossberg 500" or "Maverick 88". Anyone got any suggestions for websites? I've hit my usuals...

I'm looking for: A) An 18.5" Barrel for a Maverick 88 (Mossberg 500). B) A muzzle break I've seen where Mossberg makes a 16" barrel with a permanently attached break (gives it the rest of the required length), and I've seen some aftermarket breaks. The "add-on" breaks are unfamiliar...

Went and shot it today. Great shooting weapon. Got a lot of compliments at the range. The guy knows what he's doing. He's not quite a master gunsmith, but he did a GREAT job in construction. Got the gun shop owner to check it out by asking what he could sell me. He told me that I should get...

Spitballing He says that he fired like two magazines through it after he built it. Other than the receiver, he says that all of the parts are GI colt. The gun is pristine. I looked at it briefly and held it. No rattle. The magazines that he is including are new as well. Nothing fancy as far...

Intro from Texas Hello, all. My name is Mike and I joined because every time I look something up, I get sent here anyway. I figure I'll cut out the middle man. I recently purchased a Maverick 88 that you will see me asking questions about and I may be getting a 1911 tomorrow. Other than...

I have a friend that built a 1911 out of GI parts. He bought a receiver, but I guess he Johnny Cashed the rest from Uncle Snuffy. What are your opinions of a weapon like this? I think I'm going to buy/trade for this. Please let me know what you'd be willing pay if you were in my shoes...
