The Mossberg 500 Bantam Youth .410 24″ Pump Shotgun is a downsized, reliable scattergun built for smaller shooters who need a manageable yet capable .410 bore. With a shortened stock, E-Z reach forearm, and a 24-inch vent-rib barrel, this pump action delivers the same Mossberg 500 ruggedness in a youth-friendly package. Chambered for 2.5- and 3-inch shells, it includes a fixed full choke and dual-bead sights for consistent patterning on clays or small game.

Key Features
Shortened Bantam Stock & E-Z Reach Forearm – Why it matters: Reduces length of pull and grip reach so youth or smaller-stature shooters can mount and cycle the gun naturally, without overreaching.
24″ Vent-Rib Blued Barrel with Fixed Full Choke – Why it matters: The vent rib cuts mirage on hot days, while the full choke delivers tight, consistent patterns for clay targets or small game at moderate ranges.
Dual-Bead Sights – Why it matters: Provides a clear, fast sight picture for instinctive pointing—no fiddling with adjustable sights, just point and shoot.
3″ Chamber – Why it matters: Lets you run both 2.5- and 3-inch shells, giving flexibility from light target loads to heavier field loads for turkey or predators.
Black Synthetic Furniture & Blued Metal – Why it matters: Weather-resistant stock won’t warp or crack in rain or snow, and the blued finish holds up to routine cleaning and field use.
Who It’s For
This Mossberg 500 Bantam is built for young shooters, women, or anyone with a smaller frame who needs a .410 pump that doesn’t feel like a full-size gun. It’s ideal for first-time shotgun owners, youth hunters, and casual clay busters who want a lightweight, low-recoil option that still packs enough reach for rabbits, squirrels, or doves.
Pros & Cons
Pro: Lightweight 5.5 lbs makes it easy to carry all day and handle for smaller shooters.
Pro: Mossberg 500 reliability and parts availability—same proven action as the full-size models.
Pro: Fixed full choke delivers consistent patterns without needing to swap chokes.
Con: Fixed choke limits versatility—you can’t change to improved cylinder or modified for closer-range targets without a barrel swap.
