Mulligan03 Posted March 16, 2018 Bout a new mount for my sv and a go gun thumb rest and the factory screws are to short and the screws that they sent with new mount and thumb rest are to long. So my questions is where can I find the same type screws to find ones that will work? Home Depot or Lowe’s? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mro111lland Posted March 16, 2018 There an odd size 5x40 on most guns I would take the long screws and cut them to length Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are next to impossible to buy in the exact length needed. Almost always need cut to fit. A dremel with cut off wheel is the best way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xSTONESx Posted March 16, 2018 SV uses 6-40 screws not 5-40. Fastenal or a similar online retailer will have them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvc4you Posted March 16, 2018 Insert longer screws in a piece of plywood to the length required and grind/file them down.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9146gt Posted March 17, 2018 Many of the ACE hardware stores now have some gun screws in stock that include many of these sizes. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

accu9 Posted March 22, 2018 McMaster-Carr has a huge selection of hard to find screws in various materials/ strengths. I prefer Torx as they are less prone to stripping. https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-flat-head-screws/=1c2vnuw Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
