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?

Man, said to hear that.
Oh my! Look what I just found on the kwiksite website. And it's silver too!
They make one exactly like the one I bought except it's longer for offset mounting, and I can cut it and drill it to match the 464 exactly.
Hmmm... that screenshot does not show the part number.
ksbp-385 is the part number for the silver one.

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.

If 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."

Welcome 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!

My new scope mount came from Kwik-site yesterday. This is similar to the one I'm running now from the Thompson Contender, but as you can see it is almost half an inch lower and over twice as long. . 
This is intended to cantilever back over the action of a muzzle loading black powder gun. Here's the part number.
The design is slightly different & considerably lower which is a terrific thing. I will still be able to see the plastic iron sights and at the same time use the Leupold rifle scope.
I got the first one on a local close out sale for $25. The new one came direct from kwiksite and cost me over $70 with shipping.
I'll have to drill for holes in it to match the top of the 464 receiver and then carted off to the correct length.
I will also have to grind a relief for shell ejection clearance next to the ejection port.
The difference in the side profiles was also very evident but this is going to fit my scope on the rifle just fine.
Here's a good picture.
You can see how high the current scope mount is from the barrel. It's going to wind up really close when I'm done.

Cadd, I got the same Simmons scope on my rifle. I will be switching it over to the MMR. I will either get another scope or one of those Skinner Peeps. I am wondering if the Simmons is not as tough as the ads say.

Posting in a dead thread, but I found this one via the googles and thought I'd post an experience related to mounting a scope on my 464.
I ordered the XS sights scout mount base. The screw that came with the set for securing the front of the rail to the dovetail slot was too short. Nothing a trip to a good hardware store couldn't cure. Mounted the rail, put a Vortex Crossfire Scout on it, backed up 50 yards from the target, and let one fly. Way high. Ran out of scope adjustment before I got into the black, and those Vortex scoped will adjust forever. Went home and broke out the calipers. The rail had almost half a degree of lift front-to-back. Took a file and went to work on the cheesy piece that goes in the dovetail slot. Wound up taking a ton of it off. Put .030" worth of brass shims between the receiver and the rail. Still had to trim some of the bottom of the rail as it ran into the barrel just in front of the receiver. I've got it down to about 5-7 moa too high in the front. We'll see how it goes in a couple weeks when I get time to go to the berm with it.
I am determined to make this danged thing work, I have drawn a hunt with my son where a scoped rifle is required. It's in February. We only have one scoped hunting gun in the house and it's my Arisaka that some nimrod ran a .30-06 reamer through and turned into a .303-06. My kiddo wants to hunt with that one. I used 403 bases with a 4X shotgun scope when I was working up a handload, but it's my intention to use peep and patridge from Skinner as the hunting sights. The rail will be for hunts where a scope is required.

I can't find where I ordered my bases from but I am sure I will remember later and will post that here...Someone else posted the same product from Kwik Site that I got. It is posted near this post.
I found a pic of my 464 all scoped up. Maybe y'all can pick it apart for some info on mounts, rings, etc.

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. ??

Will one half (front) of these weavers work? Made for a 464 by Kwik site.
