Gozzy Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have a marrochi 12 gauge shotgun and whilst shooting Sunday have lost the bead , no point in trying to find something that small at a clay ground , is it something I can just pick up off fleabay or a special order at at a rfd ? It was a plain white bead that screwed in and would rather replace with a brighter bead ,but have noticed they seem to have different threads on fleabay , how do I find out the screw thread size ?

welshwarrior Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Flee Bay nice and easy I think there are two main thread sizes 2.6 and 3 mm Then loads of choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie-fox Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Flee Bay nice and easy I think there are two main thread sizes 2.6 and 3 mm Then loads of choice Dead easy to buy and only £5, I got one for my hatsan...all fitted within a couple of mins....just be really carefull when unscrewing the old one as not to snap it off..I gave it a quick spray of wd40 and left it for 2/3 mins...

-Mongrel- Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I am serously considering removing my bead. I find it too easy to look at the bead not the target! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 One of mine has been missing for some years, no real issue. Personally I would buy one through your RFD, you know then that the thread size is correct. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozzy Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's not knowing the thread size that's the trouble. , is there a common size for italian made guns or is it mix n match ? Too small of a thread , not much between 2.6 mm and 3 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
