3-56 plug screws needed
« on: February 05, 2014, 12:53:56 AM »
I need a couple of 3-56 plug screws for the barrel of a Handi-rifle. The front sight has been removed when a scope was installed and I would like to dress it up a little bit. For whatever reason they are hard to come by and I've seen others (3-48, 6-20, etc) in 12 packs but no 3-56's. If anybody has a couple of them laying around I would appreciate a response. Thanks, Richard.

Hey Quick, (can't believe I'm saying this) Check the FAQs!!!  :)  its in there already. 




Richard077, is this for a superlight barrel? Did you figure out the length? I need one to get one also, just haven't gone to the trouble to measure the depth.

Powwow.....my barrel is a standard one. I removed the front blade sight and used the 3-56 as a filler screw. I ordered the 3 shortest ones available and I think I ended up using the 3-56 by 1/8" one. It's not a precise filler screw like those used in other straight forward applications but it does work and looks OK, at least for what I need it for. Hope this helps. Richard.
