    I'm pretty sure Webley still used BA for the front stock screws while they were still in Birmingham. It always amused me actually that a lot of the Webley springers used a combination of BA and metric screws in them. Good old Webley.

    Cheers

    Sorry I actually only gave you half an answer there. I don't know the size off the top of my head but I would guess they are 1BA or 2BA. Can you measure the outside diameter of them and I'd be able to tell you for sure?

    If it's one of the Turkish models I'd assume it'd all be metric.

    Cheers

    Definitely not BA, though many are on Webleys. 4.6mm diameter, ~24tpi. 3/16 BSW seems about right?

    I don't have screws to measure. Screwed a bit of plastic rod in as a gauge and decided BSW/UNF so just need to be certain.
    Bill57 are you quoting Excel screws you have to hand?
    Thanks all.
