Gunsmith's Screwdrivers ?

[bighit]

hollow ground tips is what you need, it fills the screw in the full length of the tip that's in the screw.

Just be aware that if you buy the expensive turnscrews, its not the end of the story; you still have to grind them to fit any given screw. The advantage being you can get an exact fit.

The set of screwdrivers Richard linked to are better - no grinding, but expensive.

The Pachmayr set is a better bet for diy use, though. It has a good number of hollow ground bits (plus others) so you can use the one with the best fit.

Google Chapman screwdriver sets, everything you need in one box.

Expensive but two sets are nearly 10 years old, used daily and good as new.

Turn-screws are for cased sets not for serious use.

+1 for the bsquare set. I have this and for the price they are excellent. A good variety of hollow ground bits and the extras.
I have a browning auto 5 which has screws with very thin and wide slots - this set works a treat. I think it's about 30 quid

Brownells sell Bondhus sets which are usually good gear.
You could try looking for "Aircraft quality" tools from general suppliers but they tend to be way pricy as does anything marked for Aircraft use.

I picked up a set of these from 1967spud (reloading supply website) last year.
Excellent set with a bit for every occasion and the option to use them with torq drivers.

Also very friendly chap runs the site, top service.

I have a Chapman set, American made but I got it from someone in UK (Sorry, cant remember who). Fairly comprehensive set of hollow ground bits, but I still occasionally find a screw I can't match. For guns which I strip regularly I try to fit screws with allen heads wherever possible - saves loads of hassle.

I have a Chapman set

Me too, bought in the early 80's and still have them
