Yep I do the same myself - seen enough of your work here to know you wouldnt use it at the finish
I got lucky a few years back (an old fashioned hardware store in our local town) went there looking for slotted screws - they had none left then one of the guys said "hang on we put those up in the office go pick em over" I walked out of there with a shopping bag half full of packets of slotted head screws - brass wood screws and steel metal threads - ten bucks for the staff christmas party - all the old style cardboard bulk packets 400 and 500 in some of those - not a plastic blister pack in sight.
QUOTE=LAGS;5664765]Those Phillips heads are ONLY for fabrication time.
They are easier to work with repeated times.
And there is a less chance of the screwdriver slipping and then scratching the wood.
Plus
Slotted screws are harder to find any more.
So while building the guns , you do not want to damage them from sanding or taking in and out so many times during the build.[/QUOTE]
