Takedown screw thread pattern

JimB · Jul 21, 2020

I need some MDShooters wisdom. I have a Remington 788 that I am restocking. I want to get/make some stock makers screws, longer with no head. I know the front is 1/4-28. The rear screw is close to a 10-32 but not quite. Any idea what the threads might be?

I found what's on the chart here: http://ps-2.kev009.com/ohlandl/Rem788/Remington_788.html

Screws
Guard Screw, Front 1/4 x 28. Shank 1.131" long overall, threaded portion @ .208"
Guard Screw, Rear 12 x 28. Shank 1.048" long overall, threaded portion @ .244"

Thank you! That is what I needed

Thanks to Magnumite I know the thread pattern. 1/4x28 is easy to find. 12-28 longer than 1” not so much. I stumbled across headlight adjusting screws. They come in both thread patterns and the length I need for stock fitting.
