Huh....I've got a Mossberg 500 that I'd always assumed was the Maverick model....I got it at Wal-mart for 149.99, it has a 7 shot tube and cylinder bore barrel....safety is the typical position on the back of the reciever. It's been a great gun , I've put hundreds of rounds through it with no problems. It's my under-the-bed home defense shotgun.
