Title: I LEARNED SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY.
Post by: jebhoge on February 18, 2019, 11:17:21 PM
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! :-*

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

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

I understand that nothing is metric here ? No chance for us french to find this choice of screws....
lucky you americans !
plus, most of switch plates here are snaped in and not screwed in....
