A: This does not include a rifled barrel but does take Accu-Set choke tubes and should come with a full, modified, and improved cylinder which would work with slugs. Personally, I use/prefer 00 buckshot in my defensive shotgun - just me.

A: Julie, You can shoot slugs accurately out of this shotgun as is out of the box. No need for a rifled barrel for self defense. Would look at buckshot instead of slugs for residential self defense. As effective and safer for the neighbors.

A: Patrick, Buds is in error. This is a 5 + 1 shotgun. 6 Rounds (5, 2-3/4" shells in the magazine tube with 1 in the chamber). Cheers and stay safe!

A: Patrick, this will work. Maverick 88 pump-action models are fully-interchangeable with Mossberg 500 barrels (within gauge and capacity). This includes the Maverick and 500 Bantam models.The Accu-Choke is no issue as they are both AccuChoke Threaded Choke Systems. Should be a direct swap on your part.

A: Hi Charles and welcome. This is a 3" Chamber (accepts 2-3/4" and 3" shells). Cheers and stay safe!

A: 3 inch. Will also shoot 2 3/4 inch.

A: Hi Charles, this gun has a 3" chamber, so it will shoot both 2 3/4" and 3" shells. Stay safe & have a great day!
