Title: Missing screw from BKL-374 0.6" Long Offset Dovetail Rings
Post by: Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) on October 30, 2024, 03:30:51 PM
Does anyone happen to know the correct size screw needed to replace one I lost?  It's the screw that attaches the top of the ring to the base.  I dropped the top of the ring as I was removing it, it hit the ground and one of the screws seems to have vaporized into tin air!   :o

Thanks...

They’re 8-32; Ace Hardware has a lot of them.

I used to replace mine in the Philippines with stainless ones from Trust Hardware, a seller of American goods.

Thank you!  I guess that explains why none of the metric screws I tried worked!   ;D

If you want OEM, you might shoot BKL a note.  I had the same problem and they sent me several screws, gratis.

I did, right after posting here, and received a reply a couple hours ago, they are sending me a couple, so I'll have a spare!  Great customer service!  I also didn't realize Auto-Numatic Corp., the parent company of BKL is also the parent company for Air Force Airguns, Rapid Air and Theoben!  I learned a lot today!   :o ;D
