xanthic Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm looking for some replacement bolts to attach my guid scopes dovetail to the rings on my ED80. The bolts are M6 though thread isn't standard, it seems to be the same pitch as used on an M8 bolt. Does anyone know where I can get some? I was after hex bolts ideally but standard would suffice.

Guest Kheldar Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) I would suggest they will be 1/4" BSW - very similar to M6 (SW chop and change on the dovetails) Edited April 23, 2014 by Kheldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks Stephen. I suspected it might be but didn't have anything to check against. I've order some, so fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yup - the screws in my 100mm SW rings are very close to M6 in my metric gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanthic Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks all. I'll report back when the imperial bolts arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 The BSW bolts I ordered fit just fine. Good job I've got some imperial allen keys! I'm guessing they are catering for the US market? Imperial threads were considered legacy 20 odd years ago back when I was an apprentice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Imperial is the only way to work IMO none of this Euro trash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
