Grip frame screw specs?

[sslecyk03]

Can anyone tell me the thread specs for the front grip frame screw that holds the frame to the body/rail. I halfway stripped mine and I work at a hardware store so if it is standard or metric I probably have it. Thanks.

Edit- For a ULE body, not sure if that matters.

It's SAE not metric. 10/32tpi. Not a standard length. Overall the screw is .968. Approx .865 threaded area. 1" long ought to do ya with a washer.

Thanks tuna, I grabbed some 10/32x1's earlier cuz they looked about right. I'll see how it works when I get home :headbang:

Make sure they're not the coarse thread screws.

10/32 would mean fine thread...10/24 would mean coarse thread. ;)

Correct. people always think it is a fraction lol and ask why they don't just call it 5/16.

1st number- diameter

2nd number- TPI

3rd number- length

In case anyone is wondering...
