Screw holes under rear sight

Post by juliano191 »

Can someone tell me what the Screw holes under the rear sight of my M92 are for, their size, and where to get screws to fit? I installed a Skinner rear sight and two of them are now exposed. Thanks

They are for the Rossi P892 Scout Base and have a 6-48 thread. Skinner sells them, 2 for a $1. You could probably find them at a local gunsmith.

Yeah, he needs to add a note to his product page concerning two filler screws for the Rossi.

I bought a gunsmith screw set including at least 12 of two lengths of the 6-48s and 12 of the 8-40s and another 90 or so assorted screws mostly for 'scope mounting' and a couple taps to clean up threads.

Waited for it to go on sale and think I paid less than $25 or 30.
So I've got enough to do my Winchester 94 XTR OR fill a couple 92 leftover holes at least six times over plus the extras. Compared to Skinner's $8 with delivery for 2 I think I might be ahead even if I don't use them all.

If you've got a local big box like Cabelas or Bass Pro that offer scope mounting services you could get a couple from them. The screw sizes seem to be only common to guns and it makes them hard to find at the more normal hardware suppliers.
