Mossberg® 500 .410 Shotgun

Mossberg 500 Hunting All Purpose Field Blued 410 3in Pump Shotgun – With over 10 million sold and over 50 years in the field, the 500 shotgun is not only the most prolific and reliable shotgun in the world, it is also the most versatile shotgun platform available. It features dual extractors, positive steel-to-steel lockup, twin action bars, and an anti-jam elevator to ensure smooth operation.

• Ergonomic Top Safety
• Includes Gun Lock
• Vent Rib Barrel

Once cocked and loaded, the bolt is locked shut until the trigger is pulled. There is a small bolt release lever behind the trigger, protruding from the action, and it can be depressed to release the bolt to unload the shotgun if needed. The actual bolt throw is 4”, it is simple and very hard to jam, which makes these Mossberg pumps so user-friendly, even in the dark. In use, 2, 2½” or 3” shells work remarkably well, try that in a semi!

It is available as a section 2 shotgun, so 2+1 (one up the spout and two in the mag) or alternatively, there is a 5-shot FAC version.

Barrel

The .410 500 model is fitted with a 24” barrel. This makes it really lightweight and it handles much better, especially around the farmyard.

The 3” chambering comes as standard, but as mentioned, you can shoot any size .410 cartridge with no problems. The full choke is tight at 0.3895” and the barrel has thick 0.12” sidewalls. The rib is quite broad in comparison to the barrel diameter at 10mm, so all you see is the rib and the two sighting beads. There is a white bead near the muzzle and a brass one halfway down the rib when you mount the gun. In fact, it’s perfect as you are not distracted by the arcing curve of the barrel and just concentrate on the sightline.

The finish of the barrel is a sensible matt blue and attaches to the magazine tube by a single protruding collar. It is fastened by an end cap with QD swivel attached.
