Screws for stock iron

Rick, There is really no need to have these screws made..I know of 3 sources where they can be bought. Patrice offered the gentleman a set..were I him I would take that offer.

Seems like when I was younger, the price for a screw was cheaper than the numbers I have seen in this thread. While I am sure everything was cheaper way back when..this is today. Supply and demand is a factor and Artillery stock iron parts are not found at the local hardware.

One could always rethread the hole for something more common..BLASPHEMY!! To ruin a $500 original stock iron because you are too cheap to buy the screws already offered would be criminal! That would NEVER be a thing a true collector would even consider. Destroying the integrity of an original historical artifact..that idea should never even be brought up! It's one thing to add a repro part but to actually go where you can't return..NO!
