Have a Llama 45ACP circa 1970 missing a grip screw. Since retiring I don't have access to a precision thread cutting lathe or I would make one. Anyone got thoughts on where to find one?


Thanks,
Dave:redneck:

Depending on which Llama you have, this might do it for you -

Also, generally speaking, grip screws are not easy to make on a lathe. They often have odd pitches that most thread boxes don't cover & there's no room for an undercut at the end of the thread.

I agree with Jim. Friend of mine recently located grip screws for his LLama 380 there.

Can you determine the size/pitch etc. from the remaining screw(s)? Brownell's might carry that screw if you know what to ask for.
