I've a Patriot Pistol with very brittle screws. The heads virtually shatter. I'd like to find originals, if possible. Particularly for the rear sight elevation screw.

Any source suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you contacted T/C themselves? Or try Track of the Wolf.

thats the same hardware as the cherokee/seneca stuff TC hasnt had any since the fire. (I forget exactly...mid '80's?) About a year or 2 ago, most of all that stuff last stock held by the few obscure left pretty much dried up. For the most part, the only way to find it get lucky asking on forums, or pay ridiculous amounts on Flea bay. Try to find similar compatible hardware. One scource I use a lot for that stuff is https://www.microfasteners.com/ but you need all the tools and gauges to measure yours, and know what size/threads you need.

Track of the Wolf has the original 4x40 elevation screw that fits the T/C traditional style rifles (I'm not certain what the Patriot Pistol uses). While they may not be originals, you can buy unfinished (not coated) screws from Track of the Wolf and/or Dixie Gun Works. They are very close to the originals and I have used them on the past on my rifles.

If you don't find any TC screws from the LogCabin Shop or Track of the Wolf. PM
me, as I have a lot of odd screws from TC and other guns, Maybe I can match them
up. I would need your old screw to match. If all else fails, let me know.
