Where can you find these? I have checked all of the hardware stores in the area that have the nut and bolt bins, googled the size and can only come up with gun kits but the longest ones are the same length I already have. Anybody got any leads?
Thanks-Ron

Hello Ron, I think those screws are 10-32, I might be mistaken but that sure seems like the size to me. You can get them from T/C or most likely from Brownells. If they are 10-32 your hardware store should have them at least in socket head style.
TC has them in two lengths for the front or rear screw on a 14 inch forend with the rear being longer.
I hope this helps.
Joe
