Picked up SA (4.4) AI bottom metal off of eBay and it fits great but the front action screw is short. Anyone know the specs on the AI action screw length in particular?

Just measure how much you are lacking.

After two trips to Ace hardware and a bunch of measuring I ended up with a socket head screw that I cut down from 1 1/2" to about a 1 1/4". I thought I cut the first one too short so I didn't measure it but when I gave it a shot it torqued down just fine.

It was a pain finding a length that was long enough to hold the action without being too long and interfere with the bolt.

The AI mags fit and function great so the hassle was worth it.
