T/C Sight Mount Screws

[centershot]

I was at the range this morning with my .54 Renegade. After a few shots I noticed that my rear sight was loose. I knew I didn't have the tools with me to fix the prob;em so I packed up and headed home. Upon removing the sight leaf, I immediately saw the problem - the front mounting screw had split, most of the head was lying loose in the body of the sight. I was a machinist for a good portion of my life, so I wasn't too awful concerned about getting that booger out, but I am grateful that the screw was loose in the threads and it came out without too many cuss words.

Now, where to find the replacement screw? First off, can someone tell me what the thread pitch is on these tiny little goobers? Knowing that, I can probably find a machine screw at one of the industrial supplies like McMaster-Carr or MSC. I can shorten it if it's too long.

there should be 2 screws holding that sight on, remove the other one and match the threads.

Any gunsmith should be able to provide. But, use some Loctite when you replace.

These are what you want. I used them on my Hawken when I switched from a peep to factory sight.
They are a perfect fit.
