Mossberg's first semi-auto under the Maverick brand
Origin
Country of origin: United States
Notes
The Maverick SA is Mossberg's first semi-automatic shotgun under the Maverick brand, which previously offered only the pump-action Maverick 88. Positioned as the budget alternative to the Mossberg 940 Pro and 930 lines. Available with walnut stock ($693) or synthetic stock ($623). The 28-inch vent rib barrel with interchangeable chokes makes this primarily a field/sporting shotgun rather than a tactical model.
Background
The Maverick SA represents the natural evolution of Mossberg's Maverick brand, which built its reputation over three decades with the Maverick 88 - arguably the best value pump shotgun ever made. The SA extends that value proposition into the semi-automatic market, offering gas-operated reliability at a price point that undercuts most competitors by hundreds of dollars.
