MitaPoint Picatinny Rail – Mossberg 500/590

If you want to mount a riflescope, red dot sight or any other optical accessory on your Mossberg 500 or 590 shotgun, the first step is a solid and reliable mounting base. The MitaPoint Picatinny rail is built exactly for this purpose: it screws directly onto the top of the receiver and instantly provides a standard Picatinny surface for any compatible accessory.

Material and Construction

The rail is machined from aircraft-grade aluminium alloy and finished with a military-grade hard anodised coating. This treatment goes beyond aesthetics: it protects the metal against corrosion, scratches and the wear that comes with long-term use in the field. The matte black surface does not reflect light, keeping your position concealed in hunting conditions.

A relief channel running along the centre of the rail reduces overall mass: the finished product weighs just 38 grams, having virtually no effect on the balance or handling of your Mossberg shotgun.

Picatinny System – Flexible Accessory Placement

Full-length Picatinny cross slots (MIL-STD-1913 standard) run the entire 140 mm of the rail, allowing you to position scope rings or other accessories exactly where needed. This is particularly useful when adjusting eye relief on a riflescope requires moving it forward or rearward. The rail is also compatible with Weaver-style rings.

Installation

The rail fits directly onto the top of the Mossberg 500/590 receiver, using the factory pre-drilled mounting holes. No drilling or specialised tools are required. All necessary mounting screws are included in the package. The hole spacing is 79 mm (3.11 in), matching the standard hole pattern of the Mossberg 500/590 series.
