Savage 29B rimfire question

[JadeBriJedi]

I apologize if this is not in the right sub but I didn't see one for pump 22s.

I am looking to repair a 29B that had a broken Operating Lock Spring Screw. I have drilled it and need to know what size screw it was? Was it a #3-48? That is my best guess from the hole size what I could salvage from the threads and using a thread pitch gauge.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Thanks for the reference. They were no help. Neither was Jack first who sells them. Actually finding a tap in what I think it is (3-48) but am striking out there as well.

Still looking to to see if anyone can confirm.

The thread pitch on this screw is a 2-56.
