Brownells has longer than standard hex head and regular head action screws that are longer than standard by about a quarter inch. I just got a set for a custome stock I was working on. If you'll go to Brownells and do a search on action screws they should turn up. They have 'em in stainless hex head which is what I ordered. The ADL set contains 3 screws and the BDL set contains 2 screws. 1/4X28 is the size of the front and rear screws. The front trigger guard screw is I think an "8" size" but I forget the thread pitch. They have 'em listed though.
* part# on the screws I ordered was 084-272-704
Hope that helps you find what you need.

Nat,
Yeah, I know, but I couldn't find just the right size heads and shape I wanted when I checked a supply. However, I did overlook MSC. This particular rifle has exhibition quality wood for a rimfire BR rifle and I wanted it to be just so-so, if you know what I mean. Building it for a real picky ole cuss (me).I didn't really mind paying for the two screws, but buying 'em in bulk sure is a lot less expensive. Thanks, I'll check MSC next time. I appreciate it.

Nat,
Yeah, I've turned some of the screw heads down in the lathe, even made them for one of my rifles(slot heads, not allens). I guess I've just got lazy lately. If I can buy it reasonably, I seem to be taking that route more these days. Seems like I get lazier as the Summer goes on--hahaha.
Thanks for the tip on the places to find screws, I'm sure I'll need more later on. I appreciate it. Now if you know of a place that sells 6X.075 metric screws cheap that'd be a benefit to a lot of the folks who use Anschutz rimfire actions. Very hard to find them without paying an arm and a leg for them. If I recall corectly, last year one place wanted $40.00 for a pair of 'em. Now that was sorta steap!
