Grip Screw Question.

Oddly enough, the thread on the grip screws is not metric. At least on the DWM, Mauser may have switched. It is one of the old British standards, I think Whitworth or maybe British Standard. I do not remember the exact size. This may make finding taps and dies to chase the threads with a bit difficult. You might want to think of chasing the hole thread and putting in a new screw.
