Well, I recieved the screws and found they wouldn't fit. Too small. They are now listed as lock screws for the 3 frame hammer guns. I will check and see if they fit there.

I pulled 3 different top tang screws and checked the threads and sizes. As near as I can tell, they are exactly 5mm, though I am sure note by design. TOTW sells tang screws in this size for the Brown Bess but they are .8mm pitch. To bad they are not blank. The pitch on the locks screw is 24. A 10x24 bolt will screw in perfectly, just is too loose.
