Gunsmithing Redfield Ring Screw Size?

[Charlie112]

I have a set of Redfield spilt rings, 1 inch, model #522605. I am not sure what the screw size is and where to pick up some. I have did some research, but not sure, .Are they a 8-40??
Thanks

They take a 7/64 hex, head dia, 0 .236, shank dia, 0 .161....

Do you have a big Ace Hardware in your area?

My Ace has about four aisles of fastener hardware.

I was surprised to see that they actually carry blued "gun screws" in those oddball gunsmith threadings.

Hope they have something. I was shocked when I saw the two trays sorted into a shit ton of blued screws of various lengths and thread pitch.

The ring cap?

My guess would be no.

My Ace has a screw gauge hanging on the wall......if you have a good screw bring it with to test.

Not sure if this is the same but unless its an heirloom or collectors item it might be easier to just get new rings after reading. They show slots and not hex head though...

I'm just curious how this random thread has remained at the top of the "trending threads" for more than a week.

I do not have any extra screws, but I do have several sets of rings which I am going to sell in a few weeks with some 1970's Redfield scopes & bases.
Some of the rings are: 522000 Low; 522600 Low; and 522605 Medium. Sorry that I cannot sell a set right now, but someone may want a matched set of scopes, rings and bases. I purchased this stuff from Redfield in Denver around 1970.
