Anybody happen to know the size and thread pitch of these screws? One of my handguard screws is getting rounded in the Allen head slot and I figured I'd replace them with Torx screws before it gets stuck.

Thanks!
 
So, to update, I found the answer to at least the size of the handguard screws. Went to the Lowes and found they're M6-1.00 x 16. The screws I picked up are the same allan head size as the action screws, so it helps to be able to use my fix it sticks extended action ball head bit .

Haven't removed the barrel clamp screw since it says not to in the manual. Can anyone shed light on whether that's stated more for regular removal or if a quick switch would harm anything?
