Beretta adjustable comb side screw

[Blackstar Ninja]

Basically I've lost one of the screws from the side of the adjustable comb that secure and hold the comb in place. Tried GMK who say they are not held in stock and awaiting a delivery from Italy in 4 weeks!. Tried all the gun shops and smiths I know in Essex anyone any ideas??

Try Beretta direct - we have good reports of their service on here.

Of course for such a tiny item it might not be in the shop.

Have you tried to identify the grub screw to see if its available anywhere else in this country?

Just a thought

If it's m3 thread I have some

Not sure what an M3 thread is to be honest would it help if I posted a pic? All I do know is it requires a 3.0x60mm Allen key

Pic01 inserted end the centre of which swivels. Pic02 Allen key end. Pic03 side view.

Take it to a bolt shop, round here it would be B&D Bolts or Bapp, they will have on and it will be about 5p.

Reminds me of the late Bob Garland and his son Jamie  of Garlands Gunshop Edingale Tamworth, years ago they would fix customers up with such items by taking them out of a new stock gun.

The times I have gone and tried a new gun or a second hand one there only to find an ejector fly over my shoulder upon opening the gun.

Those were the days your gunshop gave you service.

Try your local Beretta stockist , see if they will help , and they can order the new replacement.

But as others have said , local engineering supplies . Your looking for a dog point screw of the correct thread as per your supplied pattern!

Unfortunately I tried every gun shop in Essex before posting on the forum and have since exhausted all known options in Kent thanks for the suggestions ladies and gents however it's not a dog point screw but is of the grub screw variety and I've been through the estore (twice now) and it appears to list every other nut bolt screw and washer! Except what I need! Surely I'm not the only nitwit not to have sufficiently tightened a dam screw and lost one FFS! (Frustration level building!!)

Any decent nut and bolt stockist will have them.

Take the remaining screw to a decent Engineering business, if they do not have one in stock, I feel certain that they would know of a source. These things are not uncommon, I have at least 3 on a fly tying vice. If I can find someone with the genuine Beretta comb, I will borrow just the comb and take it to our local bolt stockists. Most of my Beretta adjustable comb users are retro fitted and not factory fitted.

If you can measure it, length and diameter then there are loads on ebay,

As it looks to have a revolving end cap it is NOT a standard grub screw that you can simply go and buy. Its made that way so the end does not burr the shaft it grips. You could try a standard grub screw, but put a ball bearing in first.

 

[Blackstar Ninja]

Yep definitely a revolving cap!

Someone like this (http://www.cotel.co.uk/p/496/threaded-grub-screw-with-hexagon-socket-head-and-plastic-ball-point) might be able to help. Given the quantity you need, a phone call to enquire might yield a sample or two for postage costs.

Cool now that looks promising!

Will probably help to have length and diameter dimensions when you contact them; the hex key size probably won't be enough.

GMK workshop either can't or wont name the screw! Absolutely ridiculous! Bunch of useless C word plural' (self censored remembered forum rules just in time)!

I acknowledge my school boy error in not going round with a bunch of Allen keys and a full spanner set tightening every nut bolt and screw before shooting each stand but it makes you wonder what happens if they lose one in the workshop! Do they replace the whole mechanism, leave the customer waiting for weeks without their gun, or return it as is and any issues later is the customers fault? Think I know the answer!

Rant over!

Were the Cotel (or any other nut and bolt provider) people unable to help?
