    metric screws for scope base

    have a friend that has a german 9.3x72 (he just bought it) no scope base with it. he belives the screws are metric. before drilling and re-tapping; i thought that there may be a source for screws, any help? no, Brownells dosen't carry them.

    Try Monster Bolts

    Hi porthos,
    Not sure if they carry the right size (usually gun related screws are not common,) but it's worth a shot if you can figure the size/pitch.

    I seriously doubt that they are metric, 6-48 has been the standard worldwide for years. But an easy way to check an unknown screw thread is with a piece of solder or small soft plastic twisted into it to count the threads.
