The Mossberg 500 Youth Bantam is designed for young hunters or shooters who require a shorter length of pull, while maintaining the same level of performance of its full-size counterpart. The 500 Youth Bantam features a 22" ventilated rib barrel with a 3" diameter that accepts both 2-3/4" and 3" shells. A 13" length of pull and top mounted safety add additional comfort and safety for younger users.
