340 front sight screws

[Stormhawk]

Does anybody know of a source for a 340 series front sight screw, the long screw, not the short. Checked Numrich and the usual sources. They dont seem to be available anywhere.
As a last resort I may have to fabricate one. Does anybody know the thread pitch and count?
Thanks,

Well you could always buy the screw to get the diameter and the thread pitch from it.

Stormhawk,

I had the same problem until I found that the screws to attach the scope rail to my ruger 10/22 fit. The head of the screw is just a touch proud of the sight but it is barely noticeable. I think the screw is a size 6 with 48 threads, according to my caliper the shaft is 0.20" long. I still have a couple screws left from my 10/22. Email me your address and I'll send you one.
