The Mossy 88 is almost an identical gun and a little cheaper. Many parts interchange I never had one problem. Safety location and finish are mostly the differences if I recall. On the plus side the money saved can go toward tactical conversion toys:naughty: This was the best thing I bought http://www.combathunting.com/MOSSBERG-Talon_Tactical_Shotgun_Stock_For_12_GA_Mossberg.html whichever way you go with a Mossy this is a must have.
