I see what you mean. It shouldn’t be a difficult job to recut the threads or rebush for available screws. If you can find screws from a M-1911 and they turn out to be slightly larger in diameter you’d only have to ream out and retap the threads. The Model B is basically a metric copy.
gunparts corp should have everything you need. And for goodness sake, how many different gripscrews can there be?
Gunparts lists them as “out”. Star parts are hard to come by.
Check Ron Petersons Guns on Central in Albuquerque NM.
Google or we can get number from slim maybe.
He had the number tattooed on bottom of his foot next to th medical school cadaver tag. So I was told...
Saw both. Numrich has none and the auction is not right ones. Thanks for checking it out.
Have you tried Midway?
midway looks promising. may spend the 26 bucks and get the auction ones. and nice mosin. my 12 year old who mowed yards all summer to save up some cash just bought one. with that entire kit in your pic. he paid 110.00 at our local gun show about a month ago.
Try www.Brownells.com.
It is fairly easy to make a replacement screw. You will need a metric (in this case) tap and die set. a rod of soft wood such as pine and a dremel tool.
First of all find a bolt which the head is larger than the screw to be replaced. Take the small piece of wood and whittle it down to where it is just a tiny bit larger than the screw hole. Turn that wood into the hole then ease it out. Then take the screw thread gauge which will come with the tap and die set and determine the thread pitch.
Then measure the diameter of the screw threads, that is outside not inside. Simply take the dremel tool and cut the bolt down to that size except of course leaving the head alone. Once it is to the desired size, take a die and cut the correct threads which you already have measured. If you have an old screw you can get the pitch from it even easier.
You then use the dremel tool with a cut off wheel to reduce the size of the head until it matches the original. Then cut a slot perfectly centered in the head for the screwdriver. Start thin and widen a bit if necessary.

Whoops! Need to read that pesky HTML stuff.
Try cheaperthandirt. They have a screw assortment for $77. Might be the ticket.
