The Mossberg 500 platform establishes a benchmark for robust and dependable pump-action operation. The Mossberg 500 Bantam .410 pump shotgun extends this engineering legacy, specifically configured to facilitate proficient handling for smaller-stature operators or those requiring a reduced-profile system for specialized applications.
Key Features
Gauge and Recoil Mitigation
Chambered in .410 bore, this system delivers a significantly reduced recoil impulse, optimizing user comfort and facilitating rapid target reacquisition. Its performance characteristics are well-suited for controlled small game harvest, effective pest mitigation, and precise target engagement scenarios.
Barrel Configuration and Pattern Density
The 24-inch vent rib barrel integrates a clear sight plane, enhancing target acquisition and overall system balance. A fixed Full choke is factory-set to produce a concentrated shot pattern, optimizing projectile density for avian targets and small game at extended practical ranges.
Ergonomics and Material Construction
A durable black synthetic stock is engineered with a reduced length of pull (LOP), precisely dimensioned to accommodate operators with shorter arm lengths. This material selection provides enhanced resistance to environmental degradation, ensuring long-term structural integrity and consistent performance in varied field conditions.
Action Reliability
The inherent design of the Mossberg 500 pump action system ensures consistent and reliable cycling across a broad spectrum of standard shotgun ammunition, minimizing operational failures and maximizing readiness.
This model represents a functional choice for foundational firearm instruction, emphasizing safe handling protocols and marksmanship principles. It demonstrates effective terminal performance with appropriate hunting ammunition for small game. Its streamlined design facilitates straightforward field stripping and routine maintenance utilizing standard cleaning implements. Compatibility with essential firearm accessories and standard range equipment ensures a consistent and effective training platform.
