Bald Eagle BE1006 benchrest rear Speed Screw

[rcmark]

I want a rear Speed Screw for my Bald Eagle BE1006
The screw size of the LEVELING SCREW is 1/2" x 13

Sinclair has them in 3/8"x16 and 1/2"x20 Threads.

Anyone know if one is made?

No one that I know of makes a 1/2x 13 speed screw. I ran into the same problem with my Bald Eagle rest. I got a insert from Fastenal. It has 1/2 x 13 outside threads and 3/8 x 16 inside threads. Easy to install. Or you might find one at a local hardware store as in Lowes or Home Depot. I then used the Sinclair 3/8 x 16 speed screw. Works well. Hope this helps.

I am thinking about making a few of these. Greatly depends on how much interest there is for them.

Would the threads be 1/2-13 to match the new bald Eagles?

I wonder because I also wonder what it would take to put the new in line with the old at the manufacture point.

How many million feet does Bald Eagle have in stock with the 1/2-13 threads.

I don't need another speed screw.

That is the quest.. 1/2-13 is what i was going to do..
