The 3+1 / 2+1 capacity 510 Youth Mini Super Bantam pump-actions are affordable, entry-level 20-gauge and .410 bore shotguns. Both enjoy the same wildly popular receiver and action as all other Mossberg 500 models. And this a great thing as Mossberg initiated 500 series production in 1962. It has since sold millions and is one of history’s most successful shotguns.

The 510 Youth Mini Super Bantam are 5.25-pound guns. They are built around 18.5” vent rib barrels with dual bead sights. You can get them in 3+1 capacity 20-gauge or 2+1 capacity .410 bore.

The 20-gauge’s capacity is 3+1 (three in the tube and one in the chamber) 2-3/4” shells. It has a vent rib that’s topped by both a front-bead and a mid-bead. You get it standard with three Briley Accu-Set (Skeet, Improved Cylinder and Modified) chokes. These are beautifully crafted with tapering flutings and come with their own carrying case.

The 2+1 capacity .410 bore has a fixed modified choke.

In either case, Mossberg has thoughtfully ensured length of pull is adjustable from 10.5” to 11.5” by using a black spacer that goes at between the end of the stock and the thick black rubber buttpad. You wouldn’t want a gun this size to be too heavy or too long. Mossberg agrees and delivers the gun at 5.25 pounds within an overall length that’s just 34.75”.

The synthetic stock has a classic American silhouette, albeit one that’s shortened. Behind it is the thick black “checkered” recoil pad. It’s skeletonized and soaks up plenty of recoil. There are also integrated sling studs at front on the magazine cap and in back on the stock’s bottom slope.

You can get either the 20-gauge or the .410 bore in all matte black, Mossy Oak Breakup Country or Muddy Girl Wild. The all-matte black is self-explanatory. But the Mossy Oak Breakup Country has a fall foliage motif that virtually disappears into the right background. Then there is the whimsical Muddy Girl Wild stock that’s designed more to excite its users than help hide them. Its pink, gray, violet and black seem graffiti inspired.

Like the rest of Mossberg’s 500 shotguns, this group features dual extractors. Break open the gun, and spent casings await easy removal. They have twin action bars. An anti-jam elevator gets you smooth operations time and time again. There is positive steel to steel lockup. The sliding red dot tang safety is ergonomically ideal and ambidextrous. And naturally, these bantams have nicely done forend and grip texturing.

Mossberg started operations in 1919. It’s the world’s largest maker of pump-action shotguns, America’s oldest family-owned gunmaker and is based in New Haven, Connecticut.
