[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Thread Specification for a Buttstock Screw

Posted: 5/4/2008 4:52:39 PM EDT

Does anyone know the thread specification for the screw that holds the sling loop on an A2 buttstock?

I'm making a...what's it called?...a swivel adapter for an AR? Instead of the A2 sling loop, it'll be a lug like--looks over shoulder and whispers--hunting rifles. I want to use the screw that's with the rifle.

Thanksin advance.

Does anyone know the part number of this screw?

I have one of the manuals (Marine Corpes I think) for the M-16A2, but, it doesn't detail the part number of this screw. The hollow screw on the top of the buttstock--yes, the one for the sling loop--no.

I just pulled the sling loop screw from an A2 stock.
It is a 7/32 x 28 according to my Brownells Screw Checker gizmo.

Thanks! I've give that one a try.
