    8-32 can be forced, but not a good choice. All SA screws are 26tpi. There are no commercially-available replacements at the Ace Hardware level. Outfits like Grainger or McMaster-Carr may be able to help. Personally I'd pay whatever originals cost from gun-parts dealers like S&S..

    Where would we be when it comes to these firearms if we didn't have Mr. Hosmer? Totally confused or lost. Maybe both. Thanks Mr. Hosmer for educating us all.
    Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

    You are all quite welcome - actually - at 87 in a couple of weeks - I still enjoy it, maybe I'm a frustrated teacher underneath the curmudgeonly exterior? Jailhouse lawyer for sure!
