can you make rear sight screws out of 8-32 screws ... yes they are the same diameter as the krag screws only there 32 TIP instead of the krag 30 TPI ... they fit very well and screw in easy... to test out my theory I made some and used a 8-32 die to thread them and they worked .. Disclaimer I would not use this as a substitute they have screws on Ebay .. I was fun to make and try ...
