Need Screws To Attach "Ideal" Grips To Plates

TomJohn · 09-30-2023, 05:45 PM

I have a 1900 DWM American Eagle with "Ideal Grips". The wood grip panels are missing two of the screws that attach the grips to the metal plates that are integral to the grip system. Does anyone know where I might find these two screws? Reproductions would be ok. Thanks!

In case someone stumbles across this thread with the same problem, I ended up using screws for an electrical outlet plate. Good hardware stores stock them. They have slotted heads, and after lightly sanding off the coating on the head, they can be blued. They are 6-32 and work perfectly, although you have to shorten them a bit.
