If y'all knew this already, I'm going to feel a bit silly, but...

Crosman grip panel screws are switch plate screws. What you put on wall switches for lights. Perfect fit.

This excites me because of the dress-up opportunities. I was in Lowes and they had them in polished brass, antique brass, chrome, bronze, and white, something like $1.05 for a pair.

I got chromes to match the stainless Cothran bits on my 2300 and moved the black ones to my carbine.

My local True Value & Ace has them in Stainless Steel & Brass.  8-32 for body & 6-32 for grip screws.
Good find for the grip frame panel screws! :-*

ped

they are if your light switch is held on with 6-32 screws ours are 3.5mmx.5 so don't work which is a shame
there is a list of screw sizes in the sticky posts also seal sizes

Switch plate screws, I did not know that. Awesome. :-*
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

How much needs to be trimmed off to get the switch plate to fit the grip?


;)

Yeah, convert the Crosman trigger to an electric one  :-*

I understand that nothing is metric here ? No chance for us french to find this choice of screws....

plus, most of switch plates here are snaped in and not screwed in....
