[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Need help--DSA mount screws

Posted: 5/16/2006 11:13:24 AM EDT

I need to find a source for TORX head screws compatible with the DSA receiver cover/rail combo. I want to replace the straight slot screws that DSA supplies, but Lowes didn't have anything close to what I need.
TIA,
Vic

You need to go to a REAL FASTENER shop, not the Big Box stores with generic hardware....

Look in the yellow pages under FASTENERS or TOOLS (construction tools)...

I know DSA sells them, but they want a buck a piece! They stupid screws are only 12 cents each at most hardware stores. The only problem is finding them in black finish.

Thanks CJ, FWIW, I have ordered a batch of Allen screws to fit from MSC, which had them at a good price, but shipping was a killer... Oh well, gotta keep UPS in business somehow--their service (UPS) isn't gonna win any awards!

You are a lot better off with allan heads, Torx screws really do suck regardless if big names use them or not.
