Description
Plenty of youth shotguns are just full-size guns with a chopped stock. The Mossberg 510 Mini Super Bantam takes it further. The whole platform was scaled down for smaller framed folks, with a trimmer grip that shortens the reach to the trigger, an EZ-Reach forend positioned closer to the shooter so cycling the pump doesn't require gorilla arms, and an 18.5 inch vent rib barrel that keeps the balance point where a kid can manage it. At 34.75 inches overall and right around 5 pounds, this is one of the most compact pump guns Mossberg makes.
A Stock That Grows With the Shooter
The Super Bantam spacer system is the feature that keeps this gun in the family for years instead of one season. Out of the box the length of pull sits at a kid-friendly 10.5 inches, and the included 1 inch spacer stretches it to 11.5 inches once your shooter sprouts up. That means a proper fit at age 8 and a proper fit at age 12 from the same gun, which matters a lot more for building good habits than most people give it credit for.
Real Mossberg Guts in a Mini Package
Underneath the Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo, the 510 runs the same proven internals as the legendary Model 500: dual extractors, twin action bars, an anti-jam elevator, and solid steel-to-steel lockup. The tang-mounted safety sits right under the thumb and works the same for lefties and righties, which is exactly where you want it on a gun that new shooters will be learning on. Dual bead sights down the vent rib make it easy to check alignment, and the fixed modified choke is a sensible all-around pick for squirrels, rabbits, doves, and clays.
Why the .410 Mini Super Bantam Makes Sense for First Shots
The .410 bore is famously soft on the shoulder, so new shooters focus on fundamentals instead of flinching. It holds 3 rounds of 2.75 inch shells or 2+1 with 3 inch loads, and Mossberg even ships an extended magazine plug that converts it to a single shot for early training sessions. It's a smart, well thought out first pump gun that earns its spot behind the truck seat long after the training wheels come off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age or size shooter is the Mossberg 510 Mini Super Bantam built for?
This is Mossberg's most compact youth pump gun, sized for kids and smaller framed adults. The length of pull starts at 10.5 inches and extends to 11.5 inches with the included spacer, and the trimmed-down grip plus EZ-Reach forend shorten every point of contact. Most families find it fits well from roughly age 7 or 8 through the early teen years.
How many shells does the 510 Mini Super Bantam .410 hold?
It holds 3 rounds total with 2.75 inch shells or 2+1 with 3 inch shells in the 3 inch chamber. Mossberg also includes an extended magazine plug that blocks the magazine entirely, turning it into a single shot, which is a handy option for teaching brand new shooters.
Can I swap chokes on this shotgun?
No, the 18.5 inch vent rib barrel comes with a fixed modified choke, so there are no interchangeable tubes. Modified is a solid middle-of-the-road constriction that patterns well for small game, doves, and clays at the closer ranges where a .410 shines, so most owners never miss the choke wrench.
Is the Mossberg 510 as reliable as the Model 500?
The 510 is built on the same core design as the Model 500, one of the most proven pump actions ever made. You get dual extractors, twin action bars, an anti-jam elevator, and positive steel-to-steel lockup, just packaged in a smaller receiver and stock. The tang safety is also in the same ambidextrous spot, so skills transfer straight to a full-size Mossberg later on.
