Set Screws ?

Post by Jaybm »

Since removing the Skinner Peep Sight I have several tapped holes in the barrel.

I have smaller and larger in my "catch all" drawer but none the correct size.

Anyone know the thread size for these so I can cap them ?

I know, I know, I can buy them from Steve or Skinner but for the shipping charges
I figured I could get some locally more reasonably.

Anyone ?

None of the local resources had them. Kept trying to sell me 6/32 :roll:

Ordered from Midway USA and they are en-route.

Arrived today. great big envelope with a little zip lock baggie inside.
At first I thought they left out the screws but the pkg of ten was in
there.
Darn those things are small ! Dropped three of them before I got one
started. Luckily I found them. Finally resorted to using a tweezers to
hold the screw at the threaded hole. Now I think of magnetizing the
screwdriver blade !
Even at 1/8 inch length they bottomed out before they were flush.
Suppose I'll have to be satisfied that the holes are filled.
