The Maverick is nearly identical to the 500 except for the cross bolt safety vs the tang safety on the 500. Assembled in the US from largely Mexican built components. I'm told parts compatibility is upward of 90 percent with the mossy. I hear they are decent shottys but I've not owned one. IMHO, they are the mossy equivalent of an express model 870. Lower fit and finish, cheaper components, and built for a lower price point.
I prefer the safety of the 500/590. FWIW used 500s and 870s are everywhere for roughly the same price as the Mav.
Go Ukraine! Piss on the Russian dead.
