I have a Romanian G kit built on a DC Industries receiver but it has been put together with a set of tapco screws.  Its a neat gun has had about 100 rounds of wolf steel case amao threw it with no problem.  But my real question is are those screws going to give me any  problems some where down the road..

People have assembled rifles using screws before and never experienced any problems. Others have had problems with the screws backing out.
If the holes were drilled round and perpendicular to the trunnion and stock block, if the holes were properly threaded, if the screws were properly torqued and if red Loc-tite was used, the screws will not back out.
Fortunately, unless the screws are oversized, the receiver can be riveted if the screws were not properly installed.

I never knew Tapco sold screws?
As mentioned, if done right you won't have any problems. Just keep an eye on them and if you notice any of them loosening, remove them one at a time, clean the threads and apply a thread locker.
