Action screw thread size?

[bsekf]

The action screws on my Mark II are identical but what is the thread size. Parts list says contact the factory for new screws. Hope they are not orphans.

It's a 12-32 screw. Probably not something you find at a hardware store. Try calling Savage.

If that doesn't work, DIP sells 12-32 x 1" long Torx pan head screws. Cut 'em to length if needed. https://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=718013&CAT=5627

Not total orphans, but darn near. I understand the factory are of poor quality and will strip. So, I was looking for aftermarket before I start bedding mine. Any other suppliers?

DIP claims that their screws are heat treated.

Tap them out to 1/4 -28 and be done with it.

Some Ace Hardware stores have 'gun screws' in their nut and bolt section. They may have 12-32 screws in that collection. I've only found 1 Ace in my area with the gun screw selection however. Try the older, larger hardwares.
Good luck.
