Front sight ?
« on: November 20, 2011, 03:03:36 AM »
I'm looking for some plug screws for the front sight on my factory Contender barrels.  What is the size and who would have twenty or so in a bag for sale?  Thanks,

I go to my local gun shop (where I buy most of my guns and shooting supplies) when I need them.  they have a lot of them that come out of guns when they mount scopes.  They give them to me.

The thread for the screws is 6-48.

They are pretty much the.standard throughout the firearm industry.

As stated above, most local gun shops should have an abundance of them. Most will give them away or charge little to nothing for them.

You can also find them at Brownells. They offer them in quantity packs so you can keep a few on hand.

Numrich e-guns has them [6-48x1/8]
 
Some generic screws have too large a head to fit into the recessed mountig holes in the front sight
