Need some 6x40 scope base screws

[JB02]

Unfortunately I stripped two screws removing my EGW picatinny scope rail from my Remington receiver. I would like to get a fresh set of 4. Any idea where I can get these? On Brownells I have to buy 12 of one type, which I don't need, and I'm not sure what screws I need to select. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

Call EGW - they'll be happy to send you a set of four for $3.00 or so. I bought several (sets o four) for $3.00/set about a month ago.

Try to buy them in Torx, then they will not strip out in the future. Both Brownells and EGW stock the Torx version.

The leupod screw kit is nice and has come in handy over the years, has both the #6 and # 8 screws in the kit.
