I picked up a few of these and need the set screw size that is under the front sight. Tried 6-32, 6-40, and 6-48 with no luck. Could these be metric? Thanks for any help. Bob | ||

I don't know but I would doubt it is metric. If it were it would be easy to change it. Just redrill and tap to something common. Before doing anything, I might try something in a size 5. Perhaps 5x44. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

You could just call them and ask: 1310 Industry Road Sturgis, SD 57785 605-347-4686 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Thanks for the replys. Tried a 5-40, it works but a loose fit and a 6-40 catches 1 thread. On the underside of the ramp. the ID of the band in marked in milimeters 15.5. Thats what made me think metric set screw. I won these at an auction years ago, billed as Dakota Banded Ramps,they are well machined similar to the NECG ramps but more contoured. Now I just have to find something in a M3.5 that fits. Thanks again for the help. Bob | |||

If they were mine, I would retap them to something usable. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend, it is my life. | |||
