Title: Fill Screws
Post by: Aerofish on May 08, 2011, 07:17:57 PM

I recently took off the iron sights of a Beeman/Weirach and want to fill the rear sight screw holes. Presently I have filled them with black shoegoo to protect the threads, plus its an easy removal, but want to do it right. Does anybody know what size screw this is? Fill or grub screw info is appreciated.

Mike check with a gun shop an see if they have any "filler" screws laying around that are removed from PBs when they mount scope bases, they almost always will give you a couple as they have no use for them(I've done a couple of AGs with them,they fit nice an flush), of course I'd think they would have to be from a metric designed powder gun so the size an threads would match, but maybe not?
