Title: Grip Screws and Washers
Post by: 1911SHOOTER on January 23, 2018, 12:33:37 PM
Numrich has R51 grip screws and washers.  Kinda proud of 'em though.
Still, when ya gotta have 'em, you gotta have 'em!

I noticed yesterday Numrich had R51 stuff. I was getting some odd and in parts to finish some work on my 1903 A3 (Annie) and came across the R51 parts by mistake. Slides are kind of high at 135 per slide. I was thinking of getting one, but I will probably hold off for now. I need to put together a spare parts kit with springs, etc.

Next time I take one out I'll find out what size they are. We can get 100 stainless button head screws for the cost of just two originals. The only difference would be they're not black and are a hex drive.

Good idea Todd. I was just going to suggest taking the screw out and go to Home Depot and get some like that for about the same price.

Don't waste your time with HD, they probably won't have these. Closest I have to them in my stash is a M3.5x.6 which is just a bit more coarse threaded so I believe that our grip screws are a 6-40 thread. 6-40 are uncommon in the hardware stores but R/C hobby shops would more than likely carry them. Best I could find online is a package of 10 for $4 so I ordered them for spares if they'll fit.

Todd,
     I ordered 4 each from Numrich.   They were shipped today.
when they arrive, I will let y'all know if they fit.
