Magpul bad lever screw

#1 Post by Charlotte the flyer »

I bought a BAD lever a while back. When I got it home I found that the screw was actually not a screw but some other foreign body that had got into the packaging. Can anyone who's a bit engineery who has one let me know what type of screw it should be so I can source one myself.

Here's a pic of the thing itself:

I'll have a look tonight on the BAD lever on one of mine, will also see if I have any spare screws that fit.

Did your replacement grip arrive BTW?

Thanks techguy. (Think you have me confused with someone else for the grip?)

Froggy, it's a shiny thing, and as you know shiny things have to be put onto rifles.

I am a bit too partial to a hard slap but I know where you are coming from ;)

it's a UNC 4-40 (imperial) thread, which shouldn't be too dissimilar to an M3 thread.

The head is now entirely upto you, allen / torx / whatever.
