Ooh, that's gonna be a tough one, just the screw,,
Those things have been obsolete for decades, but TC did use American thread
Before you look for just the screw, best look to see if there's damage to the threads in the sight base itself also.
Ya might need to tap the base for a different size thread, easy enough to do.
Cudo's to ya for trying to salvage the original.
Others will come along to help too,, Welcome to the forum

THIS ones on ebay for 115 but i wouldnt pay these people that price Theres alt that are marketeers that butcher gun for profit on ebay and you will just be feeding them...SCUMBAGS..id file a buckhorn sight in the back with a knife file ..or jb weld one on from anything that would do .
Is there enough metal there to drill and tap for a slightly larger size screw? The SAE size and Metric screws wind up complementing each other where you can replace a SAE screw with a metric one and vice versa. For example a SAE screw can be replaced with a slightly larger metric one without jumping up in hole size too much. I did this a lot with radio control model airplane and model engines. But I haven’t had a reason to do it on a gun yet.

Is the hole in the sight stripped or just the screw? If it's just the screw, Track of the Wolf sell sight adjustment screws for TC guns in two different sizes and they show to be in stock. And if the hole is stripped, maybe you'd luck up & be able to re-tap it for the larger of the two.

The Gun Works Emporium in Oregon has TC parts. I’d look there. They have a website.
