REPLACEMENT GUN SCREW SETS.

[Harry Collins]

Mike,

I ordered a set and was able to fit screw to index. I did have trouble filing the screw down flush and even. Just the other day there was a post on this forum with a thanks for the advice to pean the original buggered screw. Was told it works better than one would think.

I ordered some and they would start but wouldn't go in very far. I emailed my GS and he said this is common. Usually have to "adjust" the threads on the screw with a die, or on the gun with a tap. Then have to file them down to size and to get them to index properly.

Thanks Harry,
Going to plead stupidity here.
What is “penning the original buggered screw?”
