Jeff686 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks to my wife for finally buying me something I wanted!! Thanks to Henning for making them. I just got a set of Henning's grips for my Gold Team!! Good thing too, because I accidentally messed up my old grips with Action Blaster (softened the epoxy putty). Now, I've been searching for better grip screws. I really hate the black slotted ones that came with the gun. I've tried the usual places, but no one can match the size/thread count. Anyone know the specs for this screw? Is it something really odd? Anyone ever re-dril and tap for a more common size? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnsyk Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hey Jeff Happy birthday ! Glad you got them, she bought them for you a while ago ;-) I know what you're saying about the screws, I hate them myself. Problem is that what we need is a metric M3.5 screw. I found some at the hardware store, but they're the same head diameter and phiips. So not a good alternative. Originally I talked to a screw maker guy and I can get them made EXACTLY the way I really want them... allen head screw, small head and stainless. So that's all fine and dandy, but it'll cost me $1-2000 to have them made. All depending on how many of course, but without making a bunch of them the piece cost will be very high. I know that we can get these types of screws in Europe and I've had several people looking for me, but noone can reliable come up with a source. I'm gonna make a call to Tom, he sent me some he got from Europe I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinnsyk Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It's in the works, but from a different source. M3.5 is hard to find in the right head size we're looking for. Mcmaster doesn't carry them, but thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
