Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is a reason so many people learned to wingshoot on a Mossberg Bantam series gun, and the 505 Youth carries that tradition forward in .410 bore. This is not a cheap scaled-down toy. It is built around the same basics that made Mossberg pump guns a fixture in duck blinds and dove fields, just sized so a young or smaller-framed shooter can mount it, reach the forend, and cycle it without fighting the gun. At about 5.25 pounds with a 12 inch length of pull, it fits kids the way a full-size gun never will.
The details here matter more than the spec sheet lets on. The EZ-Reach forend sits closer to the receiver so short arms can work the pump through a full stroke, and the shortened pistol grip area puts the trigger where small hands can find it. The tang-mounted safety is easy to see and easy to reach for right or left handed shooters, which is a big deal when you are coaching a new hunter through their first season. Twin action bars and dual extractors keep the action running smooth, and the anti-jam elevator helps prevent the feeding hiccups that frustrate beginners.
The 20 inch barrel wears a vent rib with a white front bead and brass mid bead, a classic setup for squirrels, rabbits, dove, and clays in the backyard. The fixed modified choke throws a sensible all-around pattern with 2.5 and 3 inch shells, and the tube holds 4+1. The .410 chambering keeps recoil mild enough that new shooters focus on fundamentals instead of flinching.
The checkered hardwood stock and blued steel give this gun a traditional field look that never goes out of style, and a vented recoil pad softens what little kick there is. It is the kind of first gun that stays in the family, gets handed down, and still gets talked about at deer camp years later.
The 12 inch length of pull fits most kids roughly 8 to 13 years old, though it depends more on arm length than age. The EZ-Reach forend and shortened grip area let smaller shooters run the pump comfortably. Petite adults also find this gun a nice fit for a lightweight field gun.
Yes. The 3 inch chamber handles both 2.5 and 3 inch .410 shotshells. Capacity is 4+1 with 2.75 inch shells, and the light .410 recoil in a 5.25 pound gun stays gentle enough for new shooters to practice all afternoon.
No, this model comes with a fixed modified choke. Modified is a solid all-around constriction for small game, dove, and casual clays at typical .410 distances. If you want threaded choke options, you would need to step up to a different Mossberg Bantam configuration.
It does. The tang-mounted safety sits on top of the receiver where it is easy to see and reach, and it works the same for right and left handed shooters. That visibility makes it easier to teach and verify safe gun handling with a new shooter.
