If that doesn't work switch to 8-40 threads.

6-48? I am pretty sure you meant 6-40. And it's definitely not 8-40.

6-48 is the standard thread for scope mount screws. If things are off kilter or boogered up they can be opened up to use 8-40 bases and screws, usually done for magnum builds. I have had to do this.
