socket cap screw question

[schultzy]

I am changing out the scope mount screws on my M330. I already have the stock screws out. Can you use 8/32 x 1/4" screws on both front and back. Or do you have to use 5/16 on the back. Does it matter. I will still locktite them.I read the 5/16 on the front interefere with latch if put up front.Thanks a bunch forum members. I just wanted to make sure to get enough bite.

Yes, either length will work in either position. I used 5/16 for all 4 screws. They do not interfere with my trigger latches. The 5/16 is closer to the length of the threads on the factory screw than the 1/4" screw, but either would work:
5/16" on left, factory screw in middle, 1/4" on the right...

Thanks Kegbelly.

You may want to use your rope cocker w/ gaps up to avoid them hitting the front two screws, btdt..........
