Also, there is no such thing as a 119 Action. In the past they were 110 for LONG Action, & 10 for SHORT Action. The other models, 11/111, 12/112, 14/114, & 16/116 were simply the SAME 10/110 Actions with various barrel, stock, etc., features.
So I do believe you have 8-40 screws, but I would check. Always check YOUR rifle first.
