Take your site to a hardware store and try all that look the right diameter
I ordered a set of 953 Truglo Fiber Optics sights for my 853. When they arrived the screw to mount the front sight to the barrel weight was missing. I contacted Daisy Customer Support and they garaciously and quickly sent me another front sight - again without the sight screw!Does anyone know the screw size for that sight, Part #13854-000? I'm sure the sight is supposed to come with the screw. I thought if I could find out the proper size, I could go to Lowes or Home Depot and get one. I can't keep getting screwless sights from Daisy!
An Ace Hardware usually has drawers of individual grub screws, set screws & machine screws etc in the hardware aisle.

Don’t have a 953, but I pulled a screw out of an 888. Looks like it’s 10/24 thread pitch. That will get you started.
Is there a hobby shop nearer than Ace? Anyplace featuring R/C cars and planes will probably have. What you need.
It's probably a gun screw. Much finer thread than usual machine screws. 4-48, 6-56, 8-56 etc. The big box stores probably will not have them. Ace does.

Don't know if this helps you any but the big box home improvement stores as well as the big chain auto parts stores often have a thread gauge near the nuts and bolts. Usually bolts and nuts mounted on plate in the most common sizes and thread pitch they have on hand. It beats tearing open packages. . .I attached an image, hopefully it went through. . .Oscar
