Magpul bad lever screw
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.

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 

Re: Magpul bad lever screw
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.
