Warne M864/864M 2 Piece Base Marlin Lever Action

Warne M864/864M 2 Piece Base Marlin Lever Action is a two-piece steel scope mounting system designed for specified Marlin lever-action rifles. In addition, its low-profile design helps preserve access to the rifle’s iron sights when the optic is removed. Furthermore, the matte finish provides a discreet appearance on compatible rifles.

The Warne Maxima base set uses precision-machined steel for a strong mounting platform. Moreover, its two-piece layout leaves the central receiver area open, allowing better access around the ejection port. As a result, this design suits lever-action rifles where receiver access and a compact mounting arrangement matter.

The bases follow a Weaver-style profile. Therefore, they work with compatible Weaver-style scope rings, including suitable Warne Maxima rings. However, mounting systems can differ in dimensions and clamping design, so confirm ring compatibility before installation.

Each base incorporates a full-width recoil slot. Consequently, compatible ring recoil keys can engage the base over a broad contact area. This design helps resist movement under recoil while keeping the mounting system compact.

The set fits specified Marlin models, including the 336, 336C, 1894, 1895, 444, 36, 30AS and 375. In addition, Warne lists other compatible models, including the Glenfield 30, Zane Grey, Camp 9, Camp 45 and Model 62. The manufacturer also lists selected Henry lever-action models, including the H009, H010 and H014. However, fitment can vary by firearm configuration, so check the exact model and receiver screw pattern against Warne’s fitment information before installation.

The bases use 8-40 mounting screws and have a combined weight of approximately 31 g. For installation, Warne recommends a maximum base screw torque of 25 in-lb. Therefore, use the correct tools and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. In addition, avoid overtightening, as excessive torque can damage screws or the receiver.
