Have a pistol project going and need some 6-40 screws in either flat or button head. I have found them in gunsmith kits with lots of other screws but not separate. Tried McMaster Carr but no luck. Anyone have a source for odd ball screws?

Brownell's has them. They are 1" long but it is easier to shorten than lengthen.

I'm assuming you only want to pay for 3-4 screws instead of buying a full package?

@WillieL - not looking for 3-4. 10-15 would have been perfect. But I ordered the 100 from Amazon. Can always use them for other projects. Just have to keep a 6-40 tap on hand. The vendor looks good. I bookmarked their website. www.smallparts.com
@75Plus - I had seen those but didn't want to order a 250 piece kit. I tried most of the gunsmith sites first
Thanks for the help!! :thumbup:

You can buy "Refill" packets in any of the sizes that are in the whole assortment.

Aha! Saw the kit but missed the refill items. That will be perfect. :bow:

Already got my screws on the way, but found this web site and thought I would pass it on. Looks like they have some odd sizes and you can order in small qty.

The only killer is the shipping. :bugeye:

Yeah, about $10 so you would not want to order just one screw. :loco:
