No4 Mk 2 Extended Ejector screw

Hi Guys

Does anyone know of where in the UK I could get a Extended Ejector Screw for the No4 MK 2. I have done a google search but only normal type coming up.

Regards Chubbs

Fultons. Or if you can wait, try Brian at BDL Ltd in SC, USA. Dead simple to convert a standard over-length BA screw

[Maxwell Smart]

Do you need it to mount a 5C sight?

Try using the screw which holds the safety spring in, see if that is long enough. If it is, look for another one of those.

Hi Maxwell

Its for the PH 5E dropped it and can't find it. Peter will have to hunt through my BA screws.

Get your wife's vacuum cleaner place a nylon stocking over the end probably double it over and cover the area where you lost it the screw will get sucked up onto the stocking and wont go into the dust collector or get one of those magnets that hold spirit levels onto scaffold frames (Scaffies use them) the are small and extremely powerful place on the end of a blade screwdriver and sweep the entire area you dropped it.

Hi Cinders

You haven't seen my garage but will give the hoover a go.

I've got a bunch of No.3 BA screws for things like this, if somebody else who's got one measures the length required I can shorten one on the lathe.

Thanks MK VII.

Still hunting.

If you make one the length of the thread is 5.26 mm and the length of the "nipple" ( un threaded portion) is 1.92mm
