Would anyone happen to know what the screw threads are for a forend cap on an 1886? I probably bought 200$ of repro screws but they arent long enough or they stripped. The ones I have now stripped. The originals both broke.
The repro screws don't seem to be long enough, I even ordered the extra long ones from Homestead parts but they still dont work. They seem to screw in 1-2 threads and then strip out.
I ordered a new front tenon and 2 screws now from taylors. Hopefully that will fix my problem but id like to know the thread count. if its possible il buy some at a hardware store and make my own.
