Title: Screws?
Post by: 3bailey3 on January 21, 2024, 01:21:17 PM
My buddy just had a Sumtoy mount and a Fastfire put on his gun but has two holes that are not covered, do they make screws or a insert to go in these?

You can get those from midwayusa or just about any gun parts supplier. I think it's a standard 8/32 threading. I had to get some for my benelli. Just a few bucks for a bag of 6 I think

My Hardware store has some gun bolts and plugs. Check yours.

Chances are it's an 8-40 thread which is unlikely to be found at any hardware store.  Brownells sells plug/filler screws made just for this job. Midway might have them too but I know Brownells carries them.

I second this. They are 8-40 and Brownells carries them...

We have a mount to fit that gun.  It only has 3 screws and should have covered the back two.   Not a problem just like to know what is going on with somethings. :icon_thumright:    Now the Factory holes are 4 mm.
