Description

This lot features a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun receiver and assembly based on the Maverick Model 88 design by Mossberg. The receiver is finished in a polished blue and is fitted with a textured black polymer forend and an aftermarket Butler Creek Corporation polymer pistol grip, which features a silver circular medallion depicting a bucking horse and rider. Key markings on the left side of the receiver include the model designation MODEL 88, the gauge ~12 GA.~, and MAVERICK BY MOSSBERG. The serial number MV83529M is clearly stamped at the lower rear of the receiver. This item is being sold as a receiver and action assembly only and is missing the barrel and magazine tube components. The silver-colored bolt and elevator assembly are visible through the open action. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The receiver shows a significant vertical scratch or crack on the left side that extends through the serial number and manufacturer markings. The blued finish exhibits scattered light surface wear, minor scuffs, and small dings throughout. The internal mechanism contains visible dust and debris. The polymer forend and pistol grip show typical handling marks and light abrasions to the textured surfaces. We have not function-tested this firearm assembly, and its mechanical safety should be verified by a qualified gunsmith before any attempt is made to complete or use it.
