SneakyD Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'm looking for a side plate screw for a Lincoln No2. I tried my local gun shops and http://www.####.co.uk/without luck. If anyone knows a likely source I would be grateful. A couple of pictures to show the screw I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SneakyD Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Sorry I should have said, I took it took a gunsmith he couldn't source the correct screw, so he adapted a screw to do the job. The screw is secure and the gun is now functional but it isn't 100% flush and obviously doesn't have the scroll work. I was hoping to find the correct screw myself. I'll try John Rothery Wholesale, if they have a replacement in stock I would be happy to purchase it through my local gunsmith. Thanks for the suggestions and advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 The screw ,if available would come as a blank with a large head and be over long . It would need to be fitted have the slot cut so as to line up ,be cut to length engraved and hardened . Your gunsmith should have been able to fit a new one that fitted flush ,whether or not you had it engraved would be up to you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in northern Ireland gunsmiths are pretty rare, so my choice is limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
