Need some help locating plate screws and a yoke screw assembly for a Taurus M44SS6. Taurus informed me they are on backorder with no scheduled due date. Screws must be matte stainless steel. Thanks

Taurus parts are always on backorder. Folks are always in our store looking for Taurus parts. Try Brownells, they may have the parts you need, or something that will work.

If folks are always looking for parts, that tells me a lot about quality. We do not sell Taurus in our store, except on special order.

Good luck.

other than experimenting with SW screws, taurus would be the only true source .. numrich MIGHT have something .. brownells might...

I have not found a source for late model Taurus parts except from Taurus. It make take months to get what you need from them.

If you are replacing the screws because the slots are buggered, you could repair them instead. What I do is place the screw in a close fitting hole in my steel bench block. It you don't have one, you can drill a hole in a piece of scrap steel. The main thing is you want to support the back of the screw head while not marring the threads. Then lightly peen the displaced metal on the slot back into place. Lastly polish the screw on a polish wheel or by hand with a little abrasive paper.

And whatever you do, don't take the side plate off of a Taurus revolver. If you do, never admit it to Taurus, they will void the warranty. Then they'll offer to reinstate the warranty for a fee.

I don't have much good to say about the company.
