Also try a hobby store. They usually have also sorts of odd hardware.
Towerhobbies.com also has a huge selection of hardware. |

This should work: Mcmaster Carr Look for set screws under "Fasteners" ETA: A 5/16-32 is an S.A.E. Extra Fine Standard Series Thread, an oddball pitch to say the least. What is the application? Can you substitute a coarser thread (by re-tapping)? Good luck finding it. |

Fastenal doesn't have it online - that's pretty odd in and of itself.

What about the company that made the item you're working on?
I've also found some fine-thread specialty screws at Ace Hardware. I needed 1/4-28 Allen cap screws for my bike and they had them. Or, if possible, tap the hole to another size/thread. |

Any "True Value" hardware stores in your area?
The ones I've been to all have an impresive stock of hard to find individual fastners. |

I think I'm gonna give up.
They make taps in this size you'd think a set screw would be as easy to find. In case your wondering what it's for, the railed forearm from YHM has holes tapped in this size and I was going to use the holes for mounting purposes. I e-mailed YHM and this was their reply, literally! "check a hardware store" Those fuckers tapped the hole for a reason maybe they would tell me where to find screws in that size. Fucking cocksuckers

they sell this to go in the hole but it's not what I need.  This swiveling sling mount stud threads right into our B.M.A.S. Four-Rail Forearms to provide a handy sling attachment point that won't deflect the barrel when the sling is pulled tight. It swivels easily 360° and is precision machined from steel with a black phosphate finish. Use with any standard quick detach sling loop hardware (Uncle Mike‘s type, etc.). Uses 5/16" x 32 threads. |

This is always a good place to look, but I didn't see it there, myself. Feel free:
www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/N2SRBR I would think that if anyone had it, they would. |

Well, you COULD make your own...if you had a 1/8" hex broach. Turn and thread some medium carbon stock to 5/16x32. Center drill 1/8", broach and then cone one end and cut off. Harden in inert atmosphere or use anti-scale compound and normal oil hardening methods.

You could take the dremel route:
Get a regular screw in 5/16"x 32 and cut it to lenght with a dremel cut off wheel. Use the wheel to cut a slot in the end of the screw, test fit with an appropriate screwdriver, adjust slot as needed. Harden if you wish, or if it is used in a low stress situation, use as is. efxguy |
