Michael A. GlassTC forend screws - what are the specs??
I need to find 6 or 8 forend screws for my newly acquired Contender collection, but I do not know the thread size and pitch. Are they something I can pick up at a good hardware, or do I have to order special.
Anyone having some to sell, please reply to this post.
Thanks,
Mike

Slowpoke SlimI don't recall off hand what the length and pitch of threads are, but they are NOT the same as you can get at a hardware store.
If you call TC directly, they will probably send you a couple sets free. I have close to a dozen barrels now, but only a few fore ends. You really only need enough screws for each fore end you have. When I take off a fore end that I know isn't going back on soon, I tape the screws into the fore end holes with a couple pieces of masking tape to prevent me from losing them.

K. W.There is "Specialty Pistols" forum. They know everything about T/C- guns. I know something, but my language is so bad. I mean my English. I can read only.

skb2706The dovetail nuts are 10-32. The length varies depending on foreend type. I have lots of 10-32 allen head screws if you need..........
