What size are the two contender forearm screws?

 I would like to get some at the hardware store if possible.

10/32. I have replaced all the forearm screws with socket [allen] head. They work better, look better.

Thanks a bunch for the reply.

I got some and they work great.  Each barrel has its own screws.  I tried to find stainless screws but no luck at this time.

10-32 Socket head screws our ok until you forget the allen wrench at home. Slotted head-screw drivers are everywhere.

I've even used a dime in a pinch and even adjusted the scope with it.

If someone would make a run of socket head screws for Encore's I would be a happy camper.

I bought a few of the allen wrenches that fit the socket head screws and stashed them in the contender cases etc.

I have heard the same argument about allen headed 1911 grip screws. To me, it seems like I can get them more securely tightened. I have had no problems with them.
