Webley Falcon Stock Screws thread size

[shellymad]

Hi guys

I have recently purchased a Webley Falcon with the idea of restoring her to former glory, she has been butchered a bit and the forward Trigger guard screw has been replaced with a metric stud welded to the action, I have ordered a new webley screw from Knibs but need to know what the thread is so that I can drill and rap the action to accept it - see fig 1

Also the Stock screws that hold stock to action had been replaced with a metric bolt, I have ordered the correct screws from Knibbs but again I need to know the thread size so that I can weld up, drill and tap to accept - see fig 2

Fig 3 shows gun as I bought it - any help with these sizes appreciated - am presuming they are old imperial perhaps BSF?
