Remington 700 Source For Cheap Spare Parts

[atakawow]

My dumbass misplaced a few pins and screws while installing a trigger. The parts I need are:

- Front and rear action screws.
- Trigger housing retaining pins (the pins that pin the housing to the action).

They're easily found online but cost an arm and a leg ($8 for one tiny ass pin plus $8 shipping?? WTF?). Hard to justify spending 1/10th of the price of the rifle for just 4 tiny parts.

Can someone point me to a cheaper source or maybe an alternative that can be found at the local hardware store?

Thanks!

Ace Hardware.
The action screws are 1/4x28.
1.6" and 1.1" not including head or taper.
If yours is an ADL, then it will also need the front trigger guard screw.
It's a 10x32, 1.45" length, not including the head or taper.

They work best if you get them with the proper grip length, but fully threaded works just fine too.

For the pins, just take the trigger with you minus the spring and sear so they don't get lost.
Fit a pin to the housing and buy two of them.
