    Source for ba screws???

    Anyone got a few ba screws they'd be prepared to part with?

    I'm after five off 7ba cheese head and two off 6ba cheese head to try and get a step closer to completing a long term round to it.

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    What material do you want them in and what is the prefered length, there is a specialist firm here in Cardiff that does all sorts of odd ball screws if you let me know I will pop in and ask.

    I need them in good old fashioned "bog standard" mild steel and 1/2" in length, although anything longer will do the job as it's a site easier to take meat off than add it on

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    Simon,
    I've got some 5BA's you can have but don't have any of the 6 or 7's. Email me off forum & I'll arrange getting them to you.

    If only it were that simple, model engineering shops around these parts are about as common as hens teeth.

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    Found a source for BA5 screws and a lot more! They do mail order too.

    Link: http://www.britishfasteners.com/catalog.pdf

    How I could have used that source back in the day when I was still had my Norton Atlas.
