Just got this new mossberg. Wondering if this gap is normal or bad machining at the barrel end or in reciever.

Receiver end looks right. The critical thing is that the bolt's locking lug rises up into the square in the barrel.

One thing to check is that the magazine tube isn't screwed loose. If it is, just hand tighten it whenever the barrel is off.
