It might be 3/16"-36
That's about a #10 machine screw size and one that some of the older guns used on sights and accessorys.

If you have an older Winchester lever action rifle (1892, '94, '73,,) that is drilled and tapped on the upper tang for a tang sight and has plug screw(s) in the factory holes,,or perhaps a tang sight on it and orig spec forward position tapped hole w/ screw...
Those are 3/16-36 thread hole, plug screw and/or sight base screw.

If you have one handy you can try it in the Stevens to see if it fits.

Beautiful condition Stevens, looks like a New-Model Pocket Medium Frame 2nd.

I'd do everything possible to find an orig or make a repro and finish it to match.
