Hi guys,
Just acquired a Sako (thanks Inglishill), and our good friends the couriers managed to remove the front sight in transit. The front sight mounting screws are no more, but fortunately the barrel seems to have survived (I'm guessing it's a little harder than the tiny screws).
Anyone got the faintest idea what size they are? They are seriously in pieces so nothing to even measure.
Not confident beretta Nz will exactly break their necks trying to help...
Take the pieces to our local blacks fasteners, hand them over and tell them you will buy new ones if they can tell you what they were....Quote:

Be surprised if blacks have anything that tiny, and they are really short too.
I think you will find they are M3.5 x 5.5mm long. Good luck.
Don't happen to know the pitch do you? Not sure if I'll have to clean up the holes a bit.Quote:

No sorry I dont. Maybe Mr Google?

What Sako is it mate ? I dont know if they are all the same I have an A1 I can look at the screws for you if I can get them out.
Saw in a thread on the Sako forum a mention of M4 x .5 but that was for an L579. My L579 sights were sweated on though.
So, could be M4 x .5 Fine, unlikely to be M4 x .7 Course.
If you give the model I can ask on the a sako forum.
Sako 85 hunter. Any input appreciated guys!
Bloody couriers!
