Doesn't even look close to a grip screw, do you have a real grip screw to compare it to?

It looks too short for a grip screw.

None of those screws appear to be M-16 surplus in original condition. Possibly the middle was cut down from a longer type E stock screw but I kinda doubt it with bevelled outer edge.

Left ones appear to be fixed sling stud screws that go in behind the toe on the buttstock.
Left one is a Magpul Gen II grip screw. Gen I's were conical, and would split the MIAD grip, especially in extreme cold shooting suppressed. Ask me how I know. |

I don't know, it kind of looks like a grip screw that I have on a modern build.

It does look too short to be a grip screw. Here's a pic of a standard-head grip screw for comparison:

Seems to me the head is too big of a diameter but I'm going to try this in a lower and see. I've got an inside teeth washer with it.

I tried it in a stripped lower. I tried it with an A1 grip and it works. I like it because of the bigger heads. more area to grip and tighten down the handle. So, I guess it can be used for the older style as well as the Magpul stuff?
Is there a market for these at all? |

I prefer slot head screws to hex head 10/1, mostly because I can never find a hex wrench long enough.

Is there a market for these at all? it's a little shorter but i don't see why it wouldn't work, better than too long. the a2 grip screw is longer than an a1 grip screw fwiw. not sure if that has caused any issues. |

With an extension (like for a drill) it works great for grip installation! |

I've used screws like the far right one - got them at a hardware section of a big box home improvement store. For hex heads, a set of long wrenches in three sizes was less than $4.
