In need of a trigger guard set screw

[rumrunner55]

Soooo PSA or I should say magpul didn’t include the front trigger guard set screw and was looking to see if anyone relatively local to Woodstock had one they’d sell so I don’t have to spend $10 in shipping for a $2 part if it was made of gold or if they know the size of one so I could run to ace and pick one up possibly

I bought a bag of 50 or 60 cause it was the same price shipped as 2.
Can't think of the size off the top of my head, will look for it.

5-40 x 5/16 I think is the correct size.

Hardware store probably has what you need.

5-40 x 5/16 I think is the correct size.

5-40 x 1/4 is what I've used.

Note that the 5/16" is the correct length for the factory Magpul setscrew but, in my experience, in a stainless "off the shelf" setscrew, the taper is not as rounded as the Magpul, causing it to not fit flush. If it were me, I would "go wild" and buy a couple of each!

rumrunner55 - how did you make out on finding the setscrew? Just curious as to where you might have found them locally, in case others need them. And which size did you go with... the 1/4 or 5/16?

I ended up going to one of the good ace hardware's and went with the 5/16 and it fits perfectly, bought a few to save the headache if it happens again. Thanks again to everyone that responded!
