after a thorough cleaning and firing multiple brands of shells,,,,,it takes a hell of a jerk to cycle out the expired shell . ihave never seen anything like this before. I will try 1 more box to see if it works , but as of now ,,it is worthless.

Q: At what weight doe the trigger break and the overall length of the gun

Author: Jason T.
A: OAL = 39.5 - Trigger Pull = 8.75 lbs --- The Mossberg 500 / 835 & Maverick 88 Trigger Spring Kit will reduce your trigger pull from a factory weight of 8.75 lbs to a modified weight of 4.75 lbs.
Author: James G.
A: Mossberg Shotguns 500 / 835 & Maverick 88 Trigger Spring Kit says it will reduce it to about 4.5lbs of pull.
Author: Jason T.
A: It is 39.5 inches in length, trigger pull probably about 7 lbs. Own one and I don't know. You can look here: http://www.mossberg.com/product/maverick-88-security-31023/
Author: Lynn N B.
A: Few understand how much difference a trigger weight makes in accuracy on a 12ga. To me a 12ga trigger is a deal breaker. I hate that insanely long anticipation of boom that lasts so long I come off target. But I'm not as solid of a man as I use to be. 8.75lbs is stiff, but I've shot some at 11-12lbs.

Q: I assume this utilizes mini shells as well?
Author: Michael B.
(3) ANSWERS
A: This is correct Michael. A manual cycle pump cycles these low power shells a lot more reliably than a semi auto. Cheers!
Author: James G.
A: yes it will be fine with them they are made for Pumps and break open actions semi- auto guns will shoot them but they will not work te action making the semi-auto as single shot
Author: Randy I.
A: It can definitely use and cycle mini shells. I've tried it. It worked fine. It is so fun because you can have a whole lot of shots.
