What’s Included
- Mossberg 500E .410 bore pump-action shotgun
The 24 inch barrel is vent-ribbed and fixed Full choke, with factory markings indicating it is chambered for 2.5 and 3 inch .410 bore shells. A dual-bead setup with a white front bead and a mid-rib bead provides a clear, traditional sight picture along the rib.
The receiver is aluminum alloy with a black finish and top-tang safety, marked "Mossberg Made in USA North Haven, Conn 500E .410 BORE." Right-side ejection and a magazine cap at the muzzle complete the classic 500-series layout. The E suffix denotes the .410-bore variant.
The hardwood stock features a straight-comb pistol-grip profile with pressed checkering for grip, a ventilated recoil pad, and a black spacer. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches, and the slim sporter forend complements the .410 platform.
This shotgun has a 5+1 capacity and was manufactured in 1996 in the USA. It carries the familiar Mossberg 500 series characteristics in a light-recoiling .410 configuration suited to the platform’s pump-action reliability.
