| Try BA (British Association). 8BA is very close to 2.2mm. I've worked on several Martinis with BA threads. |

| Thanks for the reply. I found another breech block and the M2.2 screw fit it. I got suspicious that the first breech block might have a partially stripped hole, so I turned a slightly larger diameter screw and that seemed to catch what remains of the threads. I think the block is too hard to tap to a larger screw diameter. Kind of scratching my head on how to best fix this issue. |

| Surely that screw doesn't need to be tighter than you can achieve with what you have done now and a drop of blue Loctite? |
