As it is metric I'd try to find a used part. It's not a screw you would find in a good hardware store.

Looks like Numrich has a reproduction set of guard screws in stock and Old Arms Idaho indicated that they had an original rear guard screw in stock. Hope that helps!

This guy sells many reproduction parts for Japanese firearms. I’ve purchased from him before.

I concur. This would be my first stop looking for replacement part. He recently did some work on a Type 14 for me and it was a excellent job.

Mine was missing that special spring safety located on the front of the pistol grip. Apparently, that is a common defect for these pistols and there is no supply of replacement parts. He makes his own and installs them. You can't tell that it is a replacement.
