Blackburn drop box. What about the screws?
I was inletting my stock today when I realized for the 1st time the original trigger guard screw's aren't gonna fit any more with the Blackburn drop box. The rear one will but the front one will not. It's a 98 Mauser and I need a longer screw for the front and a new one for the rear so they match.

Where do I get these? and what do I need to ask for?

Thanks,
Terry

You buy oversize ones from Brownel or NECG and fit them flush then index them with slots pointing true north and south when very tight....

How many do you want??

Just finished a run of screws for another customer and have some overage to fit the M98.

These are CNC lathe turned from 86L20 bar stock, High head with shallow slot.
Long length for the drop box, with enough threads to be shortened for the standard length. Front and rear screw per pair.

Retail for $5.00 an pair plus shipping.
