I just got a beat-to-shit Maverick 88 for free from my neighbor; who got it from his friend that doesn't take care of his firearms, with the intent of making it work, because right now it doesn't. I broke it down hoping it just needs a good cleaning, alas, it has a broken extractor/missing spring (#34 & #35 from
here) just from what I can see. I think that Maverick 88s are interchangeable with the Mossberg 500, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Is there any trick to fixing this part of the gun other than having the right punches? Or should I try and find someone that can do this for me. Since I got the gun for free, I don't mind throwing a few bucks at it just to have another usable gun but I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
Thanks!
