What are the receiver screws in a Parker Hale M98?

Brownells can't ship Mauser action screws to Australia?

There is an outfit Victor Machinery, www.victornet.com that carries tap/dies for many non-standard threads. I have 5/16-22 for the Savage 99 stock bolt, they do list 1/4-22 taps and dies at relatively low cost. They carry many many odd taps/dies useful when working on older firearms and other stuff built before SAE and other standards were established. With the right tap/die you can make or modify existing stock bolts to what you want.

I have a couple of Parker Hales made on the Mauser action. While bedding one into a new Boyds stock, I have discovered that the screws holding the action in the stock are not the right size/thread. What was in there is 1/4 inch 20TPI, and when i do the screws up, as they get further into the action, they bind up. M6 with a 1.0 thread pitch does the same, it just binds up quicker. 1/4 inch Whitworth don't work either. Does anyone know what is meant to be in there? Much appreciated.

Southern son, see this thread.

Say, since they are whitworth maybe a vintage British car or motorcycle shop can help you out. The older machines were whitworth.
