...went to the hardware store looking for M6 socket head bolts

...no luck.
 
Re: AICS LOP screws

Try a different hardware store... I had to do the same thing today for my blaser r93's receiver. I had to shorten a little bit but it was alot cheaper than ordering online, paying shipping, etc for an 80 cent bolt.

hey Nutt...I know they are M6 I think standard thread..at least thats what i was told..

I dont know the exact pitch..
 
Re: AICS LOP screws

They are M6 x 1 x 50mm Metric Socket Head Cap Screws (Full Thread). I had no luck finding anyone who sold them individually in black locally. I just bought 100 extended M6 x 1 x 70mm bolts from MSC online for a new one piece spacer I made. The 30mm stock spacer (three 10mm spacers) weren't enough for my correct LOP. Rather than ordering in some more spacers I had some black nylon lying around at work and decided to just machine a one piece 50mm spacer. I have milled it down to 40mm which is perfect now. The bolts I have wont work as stock replacements as they have a 1.5 inch shoulder on them. If you are planning on adding an extra plate or two I could send you some of these. They will work 40mm-60mm of spacers. The 40mm spacer will just need to have some length cut off to keep from bottoming out in end of the stock.
