Have a Scalar red dot mount for a Mossberg 500 shotgun. The screws they ship are short, maybe 3-4 threads of engagement. Hoping someone has a source for some slightly longer ones. This is a police training shotgun and as such gets, well, used. Hard. Last screw stripped out and having to completely redo the mounting holes.

weaver style oval heads in 1/4 3/8 and1/2 “ lengths 8-40 thread. Brownells and midway and probably other stores have them as well. I got a couple of different kits of these a few years ago and they have more than paid for themselves.
 
Weaver style work? If so shoot me a pm with what length you need and will dig some up if I have. They are from the pachmayr kit linked above.

Necroing an old thread, but I have the exact same problem. I need some 8-40 screws with a flat head for mounting my scope base to my new 110 Ultralite. Any help would be much appreciated. Where did you find yours @Cascade Precision ? I was only able to find 8-40 screws with a Weaver head, but I really need a flat head
