Grip frame screws

[sslecyk03]

Anyone know what size the grip frame screws are that hold the grips on to a y-grip/intelli? I picked up some 6-32s at work figuring they were it but they are too big. Logically, I'm thinking 4-40 but I just want to be sure in case they are metric or some other weird thread. Thanks.

i could have sworn it was 6-32, but ill go check mine

I don't NEED any, I can get them easily from work because I work at a hardware store. I just want to know the right size so I can grab the right ones. But yea, flat head.

[reckid1986]

mine are 8-32

I thought agd frames were 8-32. 6-32 for emags. You might want to take your frame into work with you. I would be surprised if they were 4-40.

mine are 8-32

Say what? For what frame?

[reckid1986]

intelli but the ones for the y frame are the same

[reckid1986]

yeah 4-40 are really small, way to small for grip screws

I just compared the 6-32s I have to my 6-32 tap to be sure and they are the right size...my grip frame screws are definitely smaller than them as well...

To clarify, I'm not talking about the front grip screw or the bottom grip screws that hold the asa on. I'm talking about the ones that actually hold the grips onto the frame...grips as in dye grips/ hogue grips.

yeah i know the front frame screw is 10-32, as are the asa screws, but the grip screws are inded 8-32 i checked my y-frame and my 3 intellis. they are the same screws that also thread into the site rail holes on an rt or emag rail.

LOL this is nuts...the holes in my rail are 8-32 like you said..but the ones in my y-frame are definitely smaller....I'll have to take a pic so you guys don't think I'm crazy.

[reckid1986]

lol yeah cuz im looking at my y frame and it is for sure the same thread as my intelliframes, and the rail holes. maybe yours has been modified, i dont know how, but yeah lets see some pics. maybe you just have a weird frame lol.

haha, it isn't modified because I bought it new from AGD with an rt pro years ago...and I can understand making a bigger hole but smaller?

Anyway this is the best I could do, the quality sucks because they are so small...



For reference, both screws are 3/8" long.
