Thanks Gary, and you are right it's 4x40x3/16

But 3/16" is too short most of the time to be of use. When the overtravel is set right, it often only leaves a couple threads of contact in the hole.

Go to a 4x40 x .250 screw, which is what I nearly always replace the factory screw with when I do Contender trigger jobs.

Sometimes the factory screw is long enough, but usually not.

Eh, what does a jerk know anyway? I've only done several hundred of them.

I do have them on the store, btw.
