Yes — the McLean Shotgun Sling fits the Maverick 88 Security. The front of the sling carries its own hook, so up front it only needs a loop to clip onto — never a second hook.
Front attachment
Magazine-cap or barrel-clamp adapter — you need to add one.
Maverick 88s are not fitted with sling mounts the way the Mossberg 500 series is.
Rear attachment
Stock stud — varies by configuration.
Sources conflict on whether the Security model is the exception that carries mounts.
Why this sling on a Maverick 88 Security
Duty, home-defence and competition use put a shotgun on and off the shoulder constantly, often with a hand busy loading. Retention matters more here than raw comfort: the gun has to lock against the body and release without a second thought.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the shotgun against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the shotgun. Tube unloaded, action open, chamber checked visually and physically.
- Front: clip the sling hook to the magazine-cap or barrel-clamp adapter.
- Rear: attach at the stock stud.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Questions
Does the McLean Shotgun Sling fit a Maverick 88 Security?
Yes. At the front the sling uses its own hook, so it needs a loop to clip to: the magazine-cap or barrel-clamp adapter (added separately). At the rear it attaches at the stock stud (added separately).
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my Maverick 88 Security?
No. The McLean sling carries its own hook at the front as part of the retention system. It only needs something to hook onto — a factory loop, a swivel, or any loop you add. Buying a second snap hook for the front is wasted money.
What do I need to buy for a Maverick 88 Security?
At the front you need a loop: Maverick 88s are not fitted with sling mounts the way the Mossberg 500 series is. At the rear: Sources conflict on whether the Security model is the exception that carries mounts.
What length sling do I need for a Maverick 88 Security?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
