GRIP SCREWS

[1911SHOOTER]

Peach2K,
     I found them on Numrich.  They are a little proud of them but
they fit the screw and haven't worked loose yet.
Of course I applied a good dose of Loctite.

Haven't seen O-Rings though...

NH_shoots,
     That is where I found my screws and washers.  Thanks for the time.
The site says "out of stock", guess I bought the last 4!

I haven't taken mine off yet; wouldn't a common split-ring washer work?

Cameron,
     I am not sure if a lock washer isn't too thick on that short screw.  But if you could find
a longer screw, that would work.  The thickness of my new grips from Keefer
will accommodate a longer screw.

Being a newbie, this might be heresy but...I had a Sig 229 and in changing over the grips, the grip screws walked away. To temporarily aleve the problem I went to Ace (the helpful hardware place) and I guy really helped me in getting a decent and attractive set of temporary grip screws that became permanent. Now, in fairness, I have not looked at the R51 screws but maybe even for a temporary fix. Plus, I think I paid all of $1.20 for the whole rig and probably less.

I thought I had the grip screw size figured out to be a 6-40 but now that I received them I discovered I was mistaken. Apparently they are a M3.5-0.5 thread. I can find taps and dies for this thread but can't find any screws to save my life. Why Remington would use this odd ball thread is beyond me. Had they used a M3.5-0.6 thread we'd be crappin in tall cotton as they're the most common and easy to find. I think If I lost a screw I'd tap the frame to a 6-40 and call it good. Also, the 4.5mm x 2.5mm x 1mm thick o-ring I mentioned earlier in this thread works perfect as a replacement.

Todd,
Numrich has the screws and washers.
