rocksaplenty Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I've got a parker hale rifle with parker hale scope mounts. The trouble is I can't find an allen key that fits the scope mounts ( i've bought metric and imperial sets) . Does anyone know where you can buy individual allen keys? Thanks.

chrisv Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 It could be tricky to find individual allen keys, probably best to find a tool/nut & bolt specialist if you have one near you. Otherwise you may have to buy another set Look out though, different sets have gaps in them, B&Q big shops have a good selection, but watch out for the gaps. I got a Stanley imperial 12 piece set from 1/10th to 3/8th" which covers all the sizes I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mry716 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 They may be a 'plonker' size. Use the one that is just too big and file it down to size. The site will not allow a word that means 'child with unknown father' or 'size that doesnt conform to the norm' so it inserts Plonker instead - sorry if it is confusing.

JRDS Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Try some Torx screwdriver heads to see if you can get one to fit, worked for me on some BKL mounts I got with no key (oddball size). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
