I just got an ACOG scope, and it didn't have the carry handle srew and washer set included with it.  I contacted Trijicon, and they said it would be a 2-3 week wait on the part, but I ordered it anyway.  Does anyone have one of these carry handle screws and washers laying around.  When I get mine in I will give you the brand new one.  

I am going to Oklahoma this weekend for a shoot and would really like to get this dang gun up and running.

I am in the Jeff City/Columbia Area.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Gonna Go out on a limb here and say "Have you tried a Hardware Store?"
Most likely 1/4-20 Threads, not sure which way this is if there is a stud get a nut and star or wavy washer if there is a hole get a hex cap screw and a internal star or wavy washer... probably an entire $.50 worth of parts...
Take the scope with you to the Hardware store... there is about what? A quarter inch of handle to grip tops?
so likely a 1/2 to 3/4 inch length should do it....

I had to do this very thing. Didn't take long to find what I needed. They even had a washer that was rubber on one side to keep from marring up the carry handle.

Awesome, thanks guys, I kind of figured it was some special la-de-da thread pattern.

If you need something quick, why don't you just remove the carrying handle?  I know that will involve sighting it in twice but it's not a big deal with an ACOG.

Well I do happen to think in an improvisational manner...
I have always been that way. My Airforce Unit used to say I could be dropped into the South American Jungle with nothing but a leatherman and they could come back in a few days and I would have a major international airport built just using what was on hand.

I am kind of betting that he doesn't have a flat top mount either.. .so not much chance of it staying on there very well

You could also go to the Black Rifle/CMMG store in Columbia, if you don't find what you want the hardware store.
