T/C Contender

[Kiwishooter]

I have a Contender G2 frame but it didn't come with the stock screw, what size and length is this screw.

I'm sure I can buy one locally as opposed to sourcing one from the USA.

Thanks

Not 100% sure, but I think the screws come with the stocks for carbines and with the grips for pistols. If not, you should be able to find the right size and length as a hardware item. The one I have on a spare pistol grip downstairs measures 2.720" end to end, and it looks like a quarter inch coarse thread. The cap part of the cap screw is around a quarter inch long. Hope you don't have issues with getting non-metric threaded cap screws, BTW.

Give the Bellm's a email or phone call, they will know and also will have the part you need, in stock. ( Bellms TC) google them up. Bill K

They are 1/4 x20 SAE thread. I use socket head machine screws trimmed to whatever length is needed. There is a lot of thread in that receiver but you don't need more than 6 full threads. I stick a depth gauge or just a plain rod through the hole and mark there head will stop and add about .375" to that. seems to work pretty well

Hope this helps

Thanks Lowell, freight to get a screw sent to NZ would be more than what a screw should cost me...........now to go and see if I can buy imperial capscrews off the shelf.
I've been trying to source some imperial countersunk machine screws in NZ with no luck and freight on 3 screws from the USA just doesn't make it economical.............Kiwi

Kiwi:
surely you know someone with a lathe that can turn just one.

Get a dozen boxes of such things next trip over. Am sure you make
a list of such things before leaving home, right?

Stay well and tell Shorty hi.

Or get a screw blank and cut your own with a die. I would guess a 1/4 x20 die wouldn't be too hard to get over there.
