When it comes to little screws, threaded rod/bolts, just general gunsmithing type fixings, where to you folk get your gear from...?
For example, i need to replace this...its off of an old Sportco built Martini action to fit the forend to a nut dovetailed into the barrel....
Then there's the threaded bit that (appears to be) just push fitted into the forend...
Id also like to make another forend to experiment with bedding on this Martini so as to not hack the original timber, in which case i need to get another screw the right length & thread as the existing dovetailed nut...
Where does one get this kind of stuff...?
Another example, i want to bed my BRNO, & i need to replace the front screw for its been partially stripped, & i would also like the idea of using a threaded rod (the same thread as the action screw) to screw into the action to assist in locating the barreled action it centrally when bedding it.
Is there a one stop shop for this kind of gear, or is it a hunt everywhere to places like Coventry's, then end up having to order from lgs &/or smith & pay ridiculous amounts for a small action screw & wait months for its arrival...?
Can anyone give advice for this kind of purchasing...?
