Why not just take them out and try a thread checker to see what they are?

I did try my small std American taps did not work I do not have a metric thread checker and also the to screws do not fit any off the small nut I got so thanks so until some hardware stores open to try an see if they got a thread checker bill

Or just screw a piece of hardwood into the holes. Tell us the diameter and tpi/pitch and someone here will be able to tell you

Problem with gun screws is they aren't standard Bill, they're gun. They don't match hardware store stuff. Metric sometimes will fit SAE and other way round but they aren't the same.
