Mega and Aero lowers also come with that feature, but I don't see the part listed at their web site. You might email them for a part number etc.

I would definitely call and ask the manufacturer what screw you need to get. That is not a standardized feature on an AR/M16 receiver and therefore could vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, unless everyone just copied the first place to do it. For what it's worth though, I can tell you that New Frontier ships 1/2" long 1/4x28 nylon tipped screws with theirs.

My local True Value carries those in their bolt and screw bin area.

I to got a PSA with the tensioning hole in it, had an extra Mega tension screw in my parts box and it fit perfectly. Aero had them got them back in stock a few weeks back when I was browsing their site.

To all the people who are saying I can get them locally, do you guys know the size/threading I need? I think 1/4" - 28 is correct... How long is the screw or does it even matter? This one is 1/4" I believe:
https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/0154138 Aero has them for $1.99 ea, but $7.80 shipping seems steep if it's probably just going into a tiny padded envelope: http://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&pw=55963&ctc=j2zhxzueoe00zk8a02gtd&mi=13601&url=https%3A%2F%2Faeroprecisionusa.com%2Fnylon-tipped-tension-set-screw.html |

Where exactly is that hole? This looks like one of those mods that even I couldn't jack up.
