Can anyone tell me where I can get filler screws for a blue barreled encore in 308. Would TC sell them.

Thanks

Brownells has them for the rear sight holes... but they're the same size as the scope set screws, so if you're removing the rear sight to put on a scope just move them over.

The front sight is a different size. I don't remember off-hand, but I posted the size in a recent post... just search on my username and I think you'd find it. Brownells does not have that size that I'm aware.

Found it

6-48 is the rear sight screw size.

The front sight screw size is 8-40 for the Encore rifle barrels.

the Encore pistol and Contender barrels use 6-48 front and rear.

I had sent my Encore frame in to T/C for repair and asked if they had a filler screw for the front sight. a week and a half later I had my frame back and a filler screw free of charge. Dosent hurt to call and ask if they got any, and if they do charge you it most surely will only cost you chump change.

asking your local gunsmith. I needed some filler screws and the Gander Mountain here in town gave me plenty. They probably had 1000 of them in various different sizes and thread configurations. Can't hurt to ask!
