Rifle Scopes Long Shot - Geissele Scope Mount Screw

[Centuriator]

I managed to lose one of the screws used to put the scope caps when installing a Geissele Scope Mount....would anyone happen to know what size/type they are. I really need to get one quickly. I contacted Geissele and they said they would send some out, but it would be a while due to their still recovering from the success of their July 4 sale (yikes).

8-40 x .333

Thanks!

OK, well, I'm looking now for the 8-40 x .333 and ... coming up short.

I did find this page:

Gun Screws

We offer many sizes of gun screws for sale.

monsterfastener.com

But I don't think any of these are 8-40 x .333

OK, so what I am asking guys is, can anyone point me to a specific source for the screw I need? Yes, I spent half an hour hunting on the Internet, found many close to it, but no cigar.

Call Geissele and request them to send you a replacement? Knowing them they'll prolly send it to you free of charge.

Update, Geissele finally got it in the mail to me yesterday.

Love to hear that update. I spent time with Bill Geissele this year at SOCOM. That is one first class guy running a first class company.

Yup, I've had personal interactions with Bill that made me a customer for life. He is a good God-fearing man and a real Patriot.
