20 4BA x 7/8 Countersunk (Flat) Head Slotted Screws Plated Steel | eBay

Found this on EBay.co.uk
I know that I is not what you looking for.
But I have a similar problem two years ago
First put them in salt assid too remove Zink
Put them in drill an with a fine file form the head as you like.
Shorten them.
You can now soft solder them an blue them.
That was what I have done. It looks ok I think at least.

Have you tried "Evans Obsolete Screws" ? I ordered three scope cap screws for a damaged T bracket, and they fit perfectly. On his website, he does lists the five scope pad screws.

best of luck!

Hi John
Before you use my solution.
As I sayd, it is two years since I done mine.
I now remember that I have made my own front pad
My self.
And countersunk the holes so the fit the screws.
If you will do the same they might fit a bid deep as your pad may be countersunk correct.
So maby you should get the right ones instead.
Yours are after all a real T.

I am sorry if I have cost any problem.

About my rifle
It is a 1944 Long Branch. The scope on the pictures is a Wraver K3 I have converted so it looks like a no32 mk3
Today it have a scope no42 converted to no32 mk3 using Peter Laidlers instruction in the stinky noted.
The Rifel groups Mutch better then I were could dream about.
