Any suggestions would be appreciated

Dang, might just have to get that mini lathe so I can make one

Screw part number for ref. m70tfm5658

Most likely the screw in question is metric. Can you measure its diameter? Can you take it to a big box hardware store and see if you can match it up?
Surely there are parts supplier out there that carry metric gun screws like VTI <Welcome to VTI Replica Gun Parts - VTIGunparts.com Online Store> or Numrich Gun Parts - <Gun Parts & Firearm Accessories | Numrich Gun Parts> Brownell's <Premier Supplier of Firearms, Reloading Supplies, Gunsmithing Tools, Gun Parts and Accessories | Brownells>

I have been told Lee Shavers does Pedersoli warranty work. You may want to contact him.
https://stores.leeshavergunsmithing.com/Another option may be to look at your problem a bit differently. Appears you have concluded that the factory supplied screw is too short. Maybe the spring is too wide? You may want to consider thinning up the width of the spring where the screw passes through.

VTI is out of stock.
Brownells does not list it

Nope to DGW

I checked the usual suspects before posting.

Well there is no hurry to replace it now, I have lost, well misplaced, the lock screw in the shop somewhere.

Dang, thanks Johnny.

Went back to dixie and instead of being all smart and searching with a part # and word search with no result, just searched "screw"

Well up poped a bunch, I'm sure I can find a replacment

If you can identify the thread size, you might be able to find a suitable replacement at www.mcmaster.com.

Even if you cannot get the exact head shape you desire, you can probably find one close, chuck it up in a drill press, and use a file to shape it to the desired shape.

Or, a local machinist can fabricate you one.

The lathe idea sounds fun - I have always wanted to learn machining myself.

I have had great results with DGW by calling them on the phone. They have come up with parts that are not listed on the web site.

A simple drill and file works also. Allen head screwa can be found that have an unthreaded portion.
