Hey guys. I had a screw break off in one of the mounting holes in my 30-06. Took it to a machine shop to get it removed. They had to retap it and did it in M3.5 x .6. Where in the hell can I find that? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can you have all the screws threaded 8 by 32?
 
Wow! That sucks.

You can find screws in various sizes and pitch at your local Ace hardware. M3.5 x .6 is something they'll likely have.

Take one of the old ones to match up the length and head style.

Or, as mentioned above. Have that shop redrill and tap to 8-32. That's a common upgrade, especially on heavier recoil calibers.
