I removed the rear sight from my CZ550FS. I don't know what size/thread plug screws I will need to plug the holes. Anyone know the size and where to get them? I E-mailed CZ-USA and they didn't reply, Thanks.

I would hope it would be something standard such as a 6-48 or 8-40 Try some scope base screws

So I called, and they suggested that I go to a hardware store and try screws untill I find some that fit???? WTF, I asked if they could tell me the thread size. And no they don't know???? I've bought 5 CZs in the last few years, good stuff, but thier after the sale department needs some work.

Jesus Christ. Sorry for the bum steer.

The hardware store isn't gonna have any gun screw thread sizes.

It's a long way of doing it but you could send the screw that held the sight dow to me I'll ID it and send it back. Or you could find someone out that way to do the same thing for ya.

Or for a few bucks Brownells sells a screw ID/ grinding fixture. Its like $8

No problem, it was a good idea. I thought they would know thier shit. I had to explain to the guy on the phone that gun screws are not usually found in hardware stores?????

I sent them an email with a link to this thread in it- maybe someone over there will wake the FU.

That phone conversation was inexcusable.

CZ frequently uses relatively scarce metric threads. As an example try to find grip screws for their pistols. But I would guess CZ USA could answer your question directly, no?

The guy on the phone was polite at least. But, It doesn't instill consumer confidence when they can't answer questions about what they sell>

You know, this could have been resolved by now with half the effort by just getting or borrowing a thread gage. Most machine shops have at least a couple lying around.

I doubt if most parts centers can tell you much more about the part than its availability and part number. It's not at all unexpected to hear that they don't know the dimensions of the replacement parts.

For grins, call winchester or Browning and ask them to tell you the screw size or thread pitch used on one of their rifles. Doubt they can do it.

Had to run down to the the city yesterday and the guy in the machine shop said that the screws from the sight are 4-48.

Thats a damn small screw

It sure is, I fired off a few e-mails this A.M. in search of said #4-48 plug screw. I may have to have them made. Unless someone here knows of a source???

Mcmaster Carr has SHCS and set screws in 4-48. Granted not plug screw but material to start with.

I'd order some extra long ones have them cut down and slotted. They would need to be blued.
How many do you need I'll look through my junk pile and see what I have on hand I may have what you need.

Just looked. Sorry no dice. But tell me roughly how long you need them I could get the screw shorten them and slot them for a screwdriver. You would have to cold blue them

Thing is a 4-48 is very close to a M3X.5mm being a CZ I would bet it's metric

try- all list 4-48
