Krag stacking swivel screw size/thread

[butlersrangers]

The damaged threads for the Stacking-Swivel Screw, on your Krag front barrel-band, may respond and be 'trued-up' by using the front-band retaining screw as a tool.

Insert the long smooth shank into the threaded lug until the screw's threads make contact. Carefully index and start the screw into the threaded lug. If the threads 'mesh', the screw will turn through and straighten the thread damage.

Yes, the band-retaining screw is also 26 TPI. (The same screw is used to retain a 1903 Sringfield front-band).
