Replacement Screws for Weaver Bases

[Catfur]

Does anyone make torx replacement screws in the correct sizes to mount Weaver bases? Apparently Weaver is stuck in the 19th century with slotted screws.

Anyone know offhand what size/head/length the screws for Model 70 Weaver bases are?

I believe they're 6-48 which ends up being the T10 head but no idea on the length. You have two choices there, .250" and .469". Get a screw gizzie, cut, grind, sand them to length. I have a cheap bench grinder with a 6" cutoff wheel mounted on one side and a wire wheel on the other for cutting screws and small stuff to length. Idea stolen from Dave Tooley

Free tip: The backside of the gizzie can get hot real quick and burn the end of your finger if you're not careful

Thanks, if it comes to grinding screws, I'll just go to the smith. But hopefully the .250" ones are short enough.

Who friggin uses slot head screws in a metal/metal application anyway these days? (side eye at Weaver)

if you look a little in brownells you can find 6/48 screws with t15 heads— those T10 stink imo
