So I got the Xs sights for the mossberg 464 and we'll I'm not if I installed it correctly.
Should there be a gap between the rail and the gun?

Hello everyone, long time lurk first time post. I have a 464 with the wood stock and I'm looking for some help in determining which picatinny or weaver style base fits the top of the receiver. What I'm looking to do specifically is attach a single point sling via a magpul or UTG mount. I would also appreciate any input on whether the addition of these two pieces may interfere with the sights. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Thank you, much appreciatedWelcome to Mossberg Owners!
I merged your post in to the scope rings and bases for the 464 thread that is referenced above. There are lots of pics and ideas and while I don't myself have a 464, I've found myself looking through pics anyway to get ideas for the rifle I do have. I'm hopeful this will help answer your questions!
Thank youIf you look up the tree there's a whole thread with dozens of posts about this subject.
The short answer is you use a split mount. One little piece of Weaver 406 goes in front and in back of the ejection port.
I didn't do that. I drilled the rail from a Thompson Contender to match the 464 holes. Then I relieved the rail adjacent to the ejection port so the shells would eject.
I posted pictures of this in the "464 scope rings and bases thread."

This is actually the scope I should buy because I'm just a casual shooter.
But I'm stuck on a Leupold Goldring, & will have to wait for the Big bux to accumulate.
Ok, the main reason I'm only a casual shooter is my eyesight, and there, every dime I spend on optics is worth it to me.
A Leupold 3-9x 40mm with ftp reticle, electric firedot, and parallax costs less than I spend on eyeglasses per year.
This may change somewhat. I am 60 and soon expected to have cataract surgery; and afterwards I may really be surprised at the improvement in vision.
What probably won't change is my love for Leupold optics.
I guess there are better, but I couldn't ask for better than the 2 that I own.

For you 464 owners out there who wish to mount a scope on your rifle, per Mossberg customer service, the recommended base is the Weaver 403. That's the front base for Winchester '94 angle-eject rifles. You'll need two 403 bases for the 464. Do not get the rear angle-eject base, just two of the fronts and you're good to go.
I've ordered mine from Midwayusa.com and will mount a BSA 2.5 X 20 long eye relief scope and let everyone know how it works out as soon as I can get to the range. This particular BSA is an inexpensive ($40-50) fixed power scope that I've had for years. It should be fine for most deer or wild hog hunting situations. It's only a hair over seven inches long and very light and shouldn't detract from the 464's superb "brush gun" characteristics.
I need some help. I've been searching and searching, called Warne, XS, and EGW - nothing. Hopefully y'all can help me. I want to mount a mini red dot to just the front of the receiver. Don't want to lose my rear sight so I don't want to go with the scout rail. I have seen pictures online of lever guns with red dots just on the front receiver position but frustratingly they NEVER state what mounts they use. Any suggestions would be helpful. ??
