Overview
The Mossberg 500 Super Bantam 20 Gauge is engineered as a robust, utility-focused pump-action shotgun, specifically configured for shooters requiring a reduced length of pull. This platform is recognized for its operational reliability and enduring construction, making it suitable for training, field use, and general utility.
Key Features
Optimized Ergonomics
The Super Bantam variant integrates an adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) stock, allowing for precise fitting to accommodate a range of shooter statures, particularly younger or smaller individuals. This adjustability mitigates common handling challenges, facilitating consistent sight alignment and recoil management. The stock design promotes natural pointability and enhances shooter comfort during extended use.
Reliable Pump Action System
Built upon the established Mossberg 500 action, this shotgun features a robust pump mechanism. Dual extractors, an anti-jam elevator, and a positive steel-to-steel lockup system ensure reliable cycling and consistent ejection under varied environmental conditions. The ambidextrous tang-mounted safety provides intuitive and rapid access, promoting secure handling.
Durable Construction
The receiver is precision-machined from a lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy, balancing portability with structural integrity. The barrel is constructed from high-strength steel, designed for consistent patterning and longevity. All critical internal components are engineered for sustained performance and minimal maintenance, aligning with KFF Defense’s expectation for hard-use firearms.
Versatile Barrel Configuration
This 20-gauge model typically features a 22-inch vent-rib barrel, optimizing sight picture and heat dissipation. It is commonly equipped with Mossberg’s Accu-Set choke tube system, permitting rapid interchangeability of chokes to adapt pattern density for diverse applications, from upland bird hunting to clay target engagement.
