Difference between sears

[Hobbez]

I've been trying to find the picture since this discussion started, but I cannot. In a pinch, I once used a piece of white styrene tube that I have for model railroading as a bushing in a classic sear to get in a day of play when I was missing an RT sear. Worked fine for the day. So, they may be slightly different, but they are close enough for government work.

I have lots of RT sears if anyone needs some

Too bad you're across the pond. I need one, but I think the shipping cost would not be feasible.

Shipping is about $4-5 bucks for a couple of sears

3 hairs longer is 3 hairs longer.

this is within .000 of being the same ;
I measured 6 AM/MM sears & it was different on each one , but all were within ,010 of each other
My carbide sear measured about .020 shorter on this ( catch was sharp like a knife , no wear )
E Mag sear ; measured the same as the AM/MM sears ( in the .010 range )

All close, but this is a big part of power tube spacers (and the old power tube springs).
