Default Looking for an 6-40 "weaver" screw

I'm looking for 1 or 2 screws just like this (or with a slotted head rather than Torx, doesn't matter): 8-40 x 3/8 T-15 Weaver Oval Gun Screws


I need a 6-40 rather than an 8-40 and can cut to length.
Do any of you 'smiths have 1 or 2 that you'll send me for minimal cost so I don't have to buy a whole box of them?

Many Ace hardware stores have small gun screw selections.

I'll check my local Ace, but I don't think I've ever seen the Weaver style in there. The Weavers have a weird "oval" just under the head that's not quite like a regular oval screw.
But I'll check just to be sure.

Well said. That is one of the many reasons I do what I can to support the S&W Forum. BTW, your envelope is supposed to arrive this coming Thursday. Remember these screws are Allen Head, so you are going to have to find the right size Allen wrench. ............

Yeah, a new ACE store just opened in my town. They also have what I call a "thread checker block" for some of the gun specific threads, for like $2.00. WAY handy.
