Help ... Need Screw Size.

[lopxtc]

Hey all I need to know what the screws are (dimensions) that attach the sight tail to the EMag body rail ...

What screw would I need to get from ... say Home Depot or where-ever ...

Thanks,

Aaron

They sell them in them cheap in the AGD store.

Lets see ...

(From AGD)
6 Screws @ .50/each = $3.00
Shipping to my house = $6.17
total = $9.17

Explain to me why the cheapest shipping I can get for something that would fit into a .37 cent envelope is $6.17?!?!?!?!

I can goto Home Depot and get the same thing for about $1.50 - $2.00 at most with tax ...


Your an AGD tech ... whats the screw size?

they are a 6-32 setscrew arnt they? maybe a 4-40? forget which off the top of my head

[lopxtc]

Thank you ... that gives me a starting place to look ...

I understand the length issue, Im not too worried as I can have them cut down to the correct length if need ...

Im more worried about thread's dimensions as I dont want to cross thread and strip them.

Thanks for point in the right direction Kev.

if you get the wrong screw, all thatll happen is it wont thread in there. no crossthreading--unless you REALLY PUSH AND PUSH....

Oh I know ... Ive just been known to twist it a little to hard in the start and strip the first couple threads ... usually you can still get the right screw in still ... *L*

[lopxtc]

drop screws that attatch the rail to the drop are 6-32 and drop to gun are 10-32

yeh, dan had the good idea. take the rail with you to Home Depot...duh! the guys at my local True Value know me as "The Gun Guy" because i bring my markers that im fixing in there to look for the screws
