577-450 Martini Henry.
Anyone know where I could get a replacement screw that holds in the cock indicator????
I found a place on the web, but it's out of the USA.

You might try ima or sarco , at one time there was a fellow in the US offering them but that was years ago and he was less then what I'd call reliable .

Checked with Sarco and IMA, but nothing.
I did see the one at the Martini Henry Society.
Might see if they could send one.
You might try Danko. They mfg new MH's & they might sell the part you need.
Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.
Thanks, I'll try contacting them.
This guy, Scott Stonehill, (sstonehill@knology.net) has made screws for me and did a fantastic job. His work is not cheap, but the quality is outstanding.

The old Numrich company used to have all sorts of foreign and domestic parts.
The retainer screw is a tiny very fine thread.....40 tpi ....and commonly stripped .....however ,the axle is still retained if the screw head is the correct size .....Ive found a metric thread thats slightly larger ,and is a tight fit even in a stripped hole.....IIRC its standard 3mm thread.
Hold is not stripped.
Slot on the head is all messed up.
Had to use a punch to get it out.
It is a fine thread, and not to many of them.
Still looking.
Emailed, but no reply from anyone.
If the head is the only thing that is messed up ?
Try welding the head up and file to reshape it.
I have had to do this several times .
