Hi, I'm trying to glass bed an A-Bolt and need to know where to get sone stock aligning screws and what size they are? I have Rem, Win, Mauser, Endfield and they don't fit the thread pitch. Does anyone know where I can get some or what size so I can build some? Thanks, The Big Dog The Big Dog | ||

Those Brownings have different sized front and rear guard screws if memory serves me. I seem to recall the front being a ¼-20 and the rear being 24 TPI but I do not remember the diameter, other than it was different than the front. If you take the screws to a good hardware store they can check the threads and sell you the proper sized dies and some drill rod and you can make your own aligning screws. | |||

Yup. The hardware store will call the rear a #10-24. Here's a question I hadn't thought about before--is that 1/4" front screw way bigger than most actions or what? It seems most generic pillars were sized with a smaller screw in mind. | |||

JonA, Quarter inch is a pretty standard size for most American made bolt actions. | |||

I just got finished bedding an A-Bolt .22, I don't know if the screw sizes are the same. I found a .25" rod with the proper thread pitch but on the Browning screw the threads seem to a smaller diameter than the main bolt body, it didn't fit. I found that the easiest thing was to order a set of screws from Browning and cut the heads off. Rob | |||

Recoil Rob, Like I said, the front and rear screws on these Brownings are not the same size. I’m 99% sure the front is a 1/4x20 though. Alignment screws/pins are easier to work with if they are allot longer than the actual guard screws. | |||
