S&W Tip Up Barrel Hinge Screws

[Jimgh]

I have a model 1-1/2 second issue and a model 2 Army tip up and have searched and searched for the Barrel Hinge Screws but no luck. Can anyone tell me the exact screw sizes and types that fit these two? Maybe if I search for the exact screw descriptions I will have more luck.

Appreciate any help you can give me.

I tried David but he is out of them. Just seems there should be a generic version that would fit. He does have schematics for both revolvers that is kind of nice but no details on the parts.

Thanks for the effort .

My 4" model 1-1/2 also needs a new hinge screw, so if you locate a source, pls let me (us) know. Looks like a 2-piece deal.

Thanks much.

Pardon my jumping in here, but has anybody asked a machinist to make these screws? Or would it be prohibitively expensive?
I don't need any now, but may someday.

Sent the specs and a photo of the pin/screw to several specialty screw companies over the weekend. Let's see if I get a response. Sure is tough to find these little puppies.
