Help With Maverick 88
Good day all. Just picked up a Maverick 88 which will mostly be used for home defence.
What is going to be the easiest way to get a sling attached and an option of mounting a spare Olight M2R I have.
Looking forward to some useful recommendations.

You can try the NCC STAR SHOTGUN MAGAZINE TUBE MOUNT.
Attaches to Mag Tube, and then you can attach goodies to this with picatinny (sling mount & Torch).
Cheap & effective solution.

When using those type of mag tube attachments, just be sure to not over tighten them. I gave seen shotguns with feeding problems because a part of the mag spring gets stuck in the part where these tube mounts where placed and then tightened so hard that the mag tube is compressed slightly, but it catches the spring.

Re: Help With Maverick 88
The screw that holds the barrel lug onto the mag tube end can easily be drilled and tapped to accept a QD sling swivel stud.
I have also seen the barrel lug being drilled and tapped on the bottom to accept a stud.
On the butt stock you can screw in a self-tapping type of stud, or one with a nut on the inside of the hollow plastic part.
Talk to your friendly gunsmith.

Re: Help With Maverick 88
The screw that holds the barrel lug onto the mag tube of my M88 was received drilled and tapped. I just got a sling swivel stud with the corresponding thread and also a nut for it to lock it in place. At the bottom of the stock is a flat square part precisely where a self-tapping stud should be drilled for and screwed in. Was an easy DIY job for me.

"Slight restriction" in a shotgun barrel sounds almost like a choke.
