Scott, I have a Maverick 88 and my reciever is not pre-drilled either. I nervous about having the reciever drilled. Is it still mounted well?

It mounts very well, just take your time tapping it. I had an 88 also. Good luck!

I had a Mossberg.. 410 not predrilled. Never tapped before, Screwed it up, Lol, pardon the pun. Should have taken it to a Smith or somebody who knew how to tap. Also, used a hand-held drill. Bad move. Probably done better in vise and drill press

Hi Scott, This is Jeff, I'm Colleen's husband. I took my maverick 88 apart, drilled & tapped the receiver. With 8-32 allen heads you will be fine. Just make sure to blow it out good with air gun before re-assembly, & use the red Loctite ! Good luck! Jeff

There's no way to do it without puttin some marks on the receiver lugs. Pure and simple. You should be able to mount up without banging around the receiver, but it will take the paint off the lugs.

Idk. I have a pioneer elite vsx 33 receiver pushing my sub......my neighbors tell me that it rattles their walls from time to time. This sub is way more than I need but I like it.

The stock is not fixed solid enough to mount a scope on. You must get a scope mount that affixes to the receiver. The one I have replaces the stripper clip guide.

I've experience the same problem when bolting the amplifier down to a vehicle. From what I can figure it's a grounding issue. In my particular its other equipment installed in the vehicle that is not grounded properly.

MINE IS ROCK SOLID, i flipped my mounting bolts over to the left side, added a drop per bolt of red locktight and after getting it finger tight i ever so slightly tightened mine down a half turn or so past finger tight with a socket.. mines never budged. Even at finger tight mine was on pretty solid with no play or wiggle, is your rail aftermarket ? is it a el-cheapo or a quality rail ? is a factory rail on a AR ? im guessing the problem is not the optic.. however you never know. do other mounts fit you rail solid without issue ? contact Lucid.. they are flat out awesome to work with !

I wished I could answer your question but I am presently away from home. I purchased this one as a center channel. It sounds amazing for this (I have a lot of power going to it and it holds up nicely). I used the 2 screw slots on either side to mount it. If I remember to I will pull it down tomorrow and see if it has a threaded mount and get back to you.

if it's from pioneer you'll be all set with the wire that's included in the mount box. I have the box and speaker from pioneer and it works flawlessly. just be sure the wires are attached correctly to the sub and that they are very secure once attached to the sub. once you mount the sub you can't really go back and fix the wiring. just take your time and read the instructions

Yes it will work fine! That is what I purchased it for and it is a nice install very easy. I think you will like it. Thye post that that holds the piclatenny rail on has a screw that goes through the carry strap hole and then you place the mounting bracket in place and tighten the hold down nut that has a rubber pad beteewn it and the stock so it won't damage the stock. Plus it has a a carry strap pin on it.

You shouldnt have any problems. The mount will mount up directy to the upper receiver rail .

It sounds like your forend overlaps the receiver when fully back. If it overlaps by more than ~1/2", then it will interfere with the sidesaddle, which comes within 1/2" of the front end of the receiver. My aftermarket Eotech forend butts flush with the receiver when fully back (the battery plug overlaps, but underneath the receiver so there isn't any interference) and so doesn't interfere with the sidesaddle. The stock Blackhawk forend fit the same way. If you want a sidesaddle with your 3 rail forend you may have to go to the 4-round model instead of the 6-round version.

No there is no pre-drilled holes for mounting. The padding to protect the weapon is glued down inside the box. If you want to drill holes in yours its up to you.

You would have to take it to a gunsmith to have the holes drilled into the top of the receiver.If memory serves, all Mossbergs after the mid 90's were manufactured with the holes.I'm sure if you take it to a reputable smith and show/ask him what needs to be done, he can drill and tap your receiver in a matter of a half hour or so.

The mount I received is machined from 7075 Aluminum bar stock. The existing stripper clip lug was removed to facilitate the rear attachment point on the sight mount. The two side receiver screws complete the mounting installation. At the range, could not get the scope to stay dialed in. The windage knob would move four to six clicks right and the elevation knob would move two to three clicks down after each shot. Sent the scope back to Aimsportsinc and upgraded. The violent action of the M1A was too much for the original scope but have had no problems with the setup in place right now. The mount is solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I mounted that exact set-up and had good results. It depends a bit on the iron sights, but if you're using the stock sights then it should be no problem.

No mounting hardware was packaged with it. Presumably this is because the mounting hardware is dependent upon the weapon you will be mounting it upon. I purchased some picatinny rail 1" mounts from Amazon to use it on my hunting rifle. Aside from how the mounting hardware attaches to the rifle, you should also consider how tall the hardware is. Shorter is better usually, especially if you are doing short distance shots (which a scouting scope is good for); but you also have to consider if you are leaving the hard sights in place, in which case you may need taller mounts so that the scope itself doesn't hit the hard sight, or isn't visually impaired by the hard sights. Sight height is also important with regard to the user - where the rifle mounts on the shoulder and head position to use the sight, but that is usually more of an issue with the overall rifle and stock setup. The mounting hardware I purchased was from Amazon, too - the Burris 420189 XTR Rings - http://www.amazon.com/Burris-420189-Rings-1-Inch-Medium/dp/B0010LNKRI/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1373892754&sr=1-2&keywords=Burris+420189+XTR+Rings. If you decide that you need a little more height (separation between the barrel center and the line-of-sight for the scope), these would do it, too (assuming you have a picatinny rail for attaching it, of course) - http://www.amazon.com/Burris-420182-Rings-1-Inch-Black/dp/B000U3P8N6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1373892754&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=Burris+420189+XTR+Rings

I am not certain. It mounts using a longer screw for the ejector (the flat head screw you see in the ejection port) and a replaces the rear trigger assembly pin with a long 10/32 screw. If your Maverick 88 has the same trigger pin/screw in the ejector in the same location I think it would. Maybe take your gun to a store and compare it to a Mossberg to be sure the holes are in the same location.
