[jack222]

Does anyone know where to get deralin grub screws from.Or can anyone on here make them.Would be gratefull for any info or if anyone could make me a few if i sent them the grub screw size.Thanks in advance

The grub screw (turninium loseitondeflooreum) is unfortunately now very rare. A few attempts at farming them has had little impact on available populations and now that a Deralin International Certificate of Stalking or D.I.C.S. is required to extract them from the wild it is doubtful if such a breeding programme is likely. The Cave Grub Screw is of course now extinct. Identified by its tiny head and dark grey to black colour, it was doomed to a distant memory by its characteristic knack of scurrying into irretrievable nooks and crannies at the earliest opportunity. There is talk however of a genetic programme in the US whereby a team of scientists are trying to cross the Wood Screw (Mancuniana Screwdrivious) with a distant relative of the Shallow Pan Head Screw (Doubleglazinal Bungumaloveritian) but it will be many years before the results are published.



Ps. Good luck in your hunt.

Pps. Its bin a quiate night.....

Is Delrin really a suitable material for something that small? I wouldn't think the threads would take much load. But Dave's the man to tell you and he'll probably welcome the distraction as he's psyching himself up to make a batch of his Daystate Mk3 muzzle flip compensators which is something he really doesn't enjoy.

A delrin grub screw wont last 5 mins unless its quite a large size thread, say 8mm and above (6mm if it dosn't need to be tightened to much) and it will have to be slotted for a screwdriver.

What size (length & thread were you thinking of ?

Does it need to be Delrin? Nylon screws are freely available, could easily cut the head off and slot it.

Both correct. but a tiny bit infront of a steel one would stop it marking barrel if thats any use?
