standing on your head improves memory, or does make you forget...........can't remember.

Jeffe,

Recheck that Enfield!!! Try 1/4 X 30 it I remember correctly. I have a chart showing most action screws and I should have put it on the CD. If I can find it I will send you a copy.

Here is an short run down of the sizes.

Mauser 98 1/4x22
US Krag & 1903 1/4x25
Rem 700 1/4x28, NF threads
Win 70 1/4x32

For a full list, look in the book Bolt Action Rifles, Revised edtion, by Frank de Haas, in the Appendix under Guard screw sizes and threads. My copy has it on page 434
