Mossberg 510 Mini
O.F. Mossberg & Sons · Shotgun · In Production · 2010
Also known as: Mossberg 510 Mini Super Bantam, 510 Mini Super Bantam, Mossberg 510 Youth
Overview
The Mossberg 510 Mini is a compact pump-action shotgun built as a scaled-down youth and small-frame version of the Mossberg 500 platform. Chambered in 20 gauge (and .410 bore), it pairs a shortened 18.5-inch vent-rib barrel with an adjustable length of pull, an EZ-Reach forend, and a smaller grip so that younger or smaller-statured shooters can comfortably reach the trigger and cycle the action. It retains the 500-series pump features of dual extractors, twin action bars, a tang safety, and an anti-jam elevator.

Background
Introduced as the smallest member of Mossberg's Bantam line, the 510 Mini answered a long-standing demand for a genuinely youth-sized pump shotgun rather than a merely shortened adult gun, giving new hunters a lightweight platform they can grow into via the adjustable stock.
