Remington Model 12c tang sight screw size

Post by Gamemaster06 »

The screws on my Remington Model 12c that are holding the Lyman R12 tang sight have the straight screwdriver slots stripped out on them. I was wondering what size thread they are so I could get some new ones. I ordered some off ebay from a guy who said they are 6×44 but they didn't fit. Anyone know for sure what size they are?

From old Marbles literature I have they are .140-44s. Aperturesnmore.com sells 6x48s and I'm told that those will work..................tom
