If you haven't called T/C yet, Bass Pro's gun shops carry them.

I tried T/C twice and never received them. I may try Bass Pro Shops myself. I guess you can't find them on line.  :-\

Our local hardware store, and a darn good one I might add, carries screws for that purpose.

You need some 6X48(threads per inch) stainless plug screws, don't use the common 6X32 or 6X40 sizes. Most any gun shop that mounts scopes should have some in their screw box. I don't have any stainless ones but have a few dozen blue plug screws. Brownells sells them by the dozen - getting pricy too, but if you need 'em...

Keep your plow share and your sword - know how and when to use them.

I believe I have some.  PM me your address and I'll mail some to you if I can find them.  How many do you need?
