BangSwitch Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) I would like to replace the screws on my Safariland 771 magazine holster with a knurled machine screw similar to the ones shown in the picture below. The thread pitch is #8-32. I need 1 1/4" of thread and a "washer/shoulder" face. I've tried the usual suspects - MSC, Grainger, etc - but I only can find lengths up to 15/16" Anyone know where I might be able to source this?

jkrispies Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) As I recall, I think I just removed my existing screws and took them to Lowes where I found a matching knob/screw in their specialty hardware section. If it wasn't that, then I took the screws to Lowes to figure out the pitch, etc. (see previous post) and did a final hardware purchase off eBay. EIDT TO ADD: It was actually for a holster but process would be the same. I checked my history and bought this: 8-32 x 3/8" Knurled Thumb Screw 10-Pack - Aluminum Black Anodized Finish ( 321296224085 ) Edited October 17, 2017 by jkrispies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangSwitch Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Thanks for the quick reply! Finding 'short' thumb screws like you've used on your holster hasn't been a problem. (I have 2 small thumbscrews on my Bladetech holster for the same reason) It's finding one in an inch and quarter length that's been the problem. I think the longest I've found has 15/16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrispies Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Now that I’m mulling it over, I may have had the same problem. I guess that’s why I have a tensioner on my blade tech holster and not my safariland pouches, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicAJ Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Sorry for the necropost, but I was just searching for something similar and came across these: https://www.allelectronics.com/item/sc-114/8-32-x-1-1/4-knurled-thumb-screw/1.html They're 1.25" long, should work for mag pouches.
