is there a allen or torx replacement for the original slot head action screws?

[greyling]

I have a gen 1 blind magazine savage 110 that has slot head scews. They aren't completely stripped, but the wrong screwdriver has been used more than once and they are wallered out some. is there a allen or torx replacement for the original slot head action screws? These have a crowned, domed looking head.

Private Message me your action screw lengths and I will send you some that I machined the heads to .375, unless your heads are larger and I will send you some with the standard size head.

Th ones I have will be flat not semi countersunk. If you have the head diameter that would be good. I am sure they will work.

EDIT: I dont think it will work on that cover.

[greyling]

I appreciate the offer, but I agree with your edit, I think they need to be semi-countersunk crown heads for the cover. Now, I don't know if the bottom cover can be replaced with a detachable mag or not. It's already something of a franken-gun. an original savage with the different bolt head, with the bolt head and body replaced with a modern style to be mated to a new savage barrel, all sitting in a weatherby styled fajen stock. Front action screw OAL is 1.2785", the rear is 1.592. heads are .366" in diameter, as drawn in here https://ibb.co/fCZb9wS

Went looking for them and I found the trigger guard screw at numrich. The front screw was out of stock.

https://www.forsterproducts.com/product/trigger-guard-screws/ these would work too I think, I was just hoping to find a torx or hex head. you know, a better screw.

[Robinhood]

I could not find anything like you need, the countersink angle, in a hex or torx. If I had a small machine here I could do it but I don't. sorry bro. I think the Forster is worth a try. Buy two sets.

[sharpshooter]

Use Remington screws.....

[yobuck]

Use Remington screws.....
Cost for the Rem screws 2 bucks.
Cost for knowing the right screws? lol

[Dave Hoback]

Yup! Here ya go. https://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/triggers-parts/trigger-guard-parts/trigger-guard-screws/long-triggerguard-screws-prod1273.aspx

Savage & Remington use the same 1/4-28 thread.

[greyling]

hey great! remington trigger guard screws? and where do you see them for $2? I'm seeing $10+shipping or more. If I buy from brownells, the long screw sets linked are 1/2 to 3/4" too long, I can shorten the screws if there is enough threaded portion to chop off.

Even if the threaded portion is not long enough it is simple enough to use a die to make more threads.

Have you tried Savage Customer Service? I haven't needed to use them in a while, so don't know if they even answer the phone these days, just thought they'd be a logical place to start.

[greyling]

it's an old savage. when they hear the serial number is before 2000, they haven't been interested in talking to me in the past.

If the fajen stock is pillared then I would use standard socket head 1/4-28 machine screws. In all my pillars stocks I use these and the heads actually stop when they reach the pillar. The plastic trigger guards require boring the front hole out to 5/16 so the head of the screw clears it.
When i install pillars on stocks using steel or stainless trigger guards then the pillar is installed so the trigger gaurd will contact it when the action screw is torqued. Those socket head screws work fine with the tupperware stocks also

I thought the same thing until I realized the screw hole in his hardware is set up for the chamfered or partially countersink screws. Am I missing something?

I thought the same thing until I realized the screw hole in his hardware is set up for the chamfered or partially countersink screws. Am I missing something? are you saying the c'sink in the trigger guard penetrated through and is partially into the pillar as well? If not then the Remington action screws that sharpshooter suggested should fill the bill.
Yo might find a job shop that can make you the screws that you need. Can you sketch them up and post a picture? We might all understand a little clearer.

[SharpShooter82]

Measure the angle of the countersink and look at McMaster Carr’s web sight. They have a wide selection of screws so you may be able to find something.
