Out here on Canadian prairies - ended up with a Central No. 4 Mk. 3 sight (as per pictures by muffett.2008 on 03-01-2016) and a mounting plate also marked "Central No.4". However, apparently I a still missing a screw, with its associated locking lever that connects the two pieces together. Please advise what I am looking for? What is the screw size/thread/etc. Any chance that original piece is even available these days?
Here's the part you are looking for. Unfortunately I don't have a thread pitch gauge handy to measure it.

You might try and contact Scott Stonehill at Evans Custom Screws. He list some Central sight screws listed on his website.
I have used his products on two occasions, and his products are spot-on.
Here is a link to his website:

I ordered some screws for a No4(T) mount (cradle screws) and a set for a long-lee. Couldn't be happier.
Best of luck
They're generically a 3/16th x 32 tip thread, a lot of the AE Clark and Linx sights used them too. Fultons should have some.

I think 3/16-32 could be 10-32. I have used an Allen head machine screw in that size with a washer to mount a Central.
Same here! I think the thread is not an exact match, but close enough to hold and not bind over that short distance.Quote:
