The forend screw is an 8-40. I bought an 8-40 x 3/4 Low Head Torx drive from Brownells, and trimmed a bit of length, and ground a bit of head diameter. If you're interested in doing the same, I have spares. PM a mailing address. Another approach is to replace the screw with a sling mount, but I'm not wild about putting funny side loads on the forend screw. I'm tussling with whether or not I even want to add a sling to mine.
THANKS! Model24 I bought a new screw from Numrich. I do appreciate your offer.
