The Mossberg 500 Super Bantam (Model 50341) is a 20-gauge pump-action shotgun with a 26-inch barrel and an adjustable stock that runs 12" to 13" length of pull via included spacers. At 5.25 lbs., it's light enough for smaller-framed shooters and youth without sacrificing function.

Features 

 
The adjustable length of pull is the defining feature here — 12" to 13" covers a wide range of body types, and it's easy to change with the included spacers. This makes it genuinely useful for growing shooters who need the gun to fit correctly rather than fighting a stock that's too long. 
 
The pump action is the standard Mossberg 500 mechanism, which has a long track record for reliability. Three chokes are included: full, improved cylinder, and modified, giving you range flexibility for different ammunition and game. 
 
The synthetic stock is straightforward — durable and weather-resistant, nothing that needs maintenance. 
 

Usage 

 
This is a solid choice for youth or smaller-framed adults getting into hunting or clay shooting. The 20 gauge keeps recoil manageable, and the adjustable fit means it can grow with younger shooters over time.

The Mossberg Super Bantam draws consistent praise from parents buying for younger hunters and from smaller-framed adults who want a 20-gauge that actually fits them.

The adjustable stock is the most frequently mentioned positive feature — the ability to set it between 12" and 13" is practical and simple, and owners appreciate that the spacer system doesn't require tools or guesswork. The 20-gauge chambering is popular specifically for its recoil management; new shooters and youth find it approachable without feeling underpowered for field use.

The pump action gets consistent marks for reliability. People who've run a lot of shells through it report it functions predictably with different load types. The lightweight build is appreciated on long days in the field, particularly by younger hunters.

On the critical side, a few owners note that some components feel less substantial than what you'd find on higher-end pump guns, though most concede the value is reasonable for what it costs. Some experienced shooters who picked one up for a younger family member had minor feedback about finish quality, but found performance was unaffected.

Overall, the Super Bantam does its job well — it's an accessible, properly fitting 20-gauge for smaller shooters.
