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.

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.

www.victornet.com - metric and non-standard screws, taps, dies
thanks guys i'll give them a try once i see the gun and get a close guess to the appx. size
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.
