Found - Source for rare and obsolete British gun screws

[RJW NZ]

I would love to know a source for aperture sight screws as for parker hale, having them handmade is pricewise unrealistic. There must be boxes of this stuff in the UK someplace.

RJW NZ,

You're probably correct, all you have to do is find them. These screws aren't called "rare and obsolete" because they are easily obtainable. Only you can determine what it is worth to get something back in order. To me, it was well worth it to get the Picar back on the Enforcer. Considering the time, equipment and expertise required to make a screw that was actually more like a stud with an odd-ball, star-shaped head, in a rare, if not obsolete, thread pattern, then install it into the ring, fully guaranteed, made me feel I got a bargain for only $23. Simpler, more common screws are no doubt a bit less.

I am well satisfied and will sing Scott's praises all day long.

Regards,

Terry
