A longer Krag side-plate screw can be improvised by using a reproduction 1903 Springfield rear swivel screw or front stacking swivel screw.

These commonly available screws use the same 26 TPI thread that the Krag side-plate screw utilizes.

All that is required is shortening the 1903 swivel screw, reducing the diameter of some of the shank above the threads, and slightly reducing the screw-head diameter (if necessary).

The 'reduction in diameter' can be done with small files, while turning the 1903 screw in a drill 'Chuck'. (This is best done before shortening the screw).
