Can you buy....

Can you buy screws for an airgun, just the screws for the stock, because when i got my gun, they were kinda scratched up, if you can buy them, where would you get them from?

[Gotrice23]

First it depends what gun you have. You usually can buy screw but you have to contact the maker first.

Shouldn't be a problem unless you run into a company like Gamo that doesn't provide spare parts to the general public.

Crap! its a Gamo Delta, if asked this gunsmith shop in town to order the screws from Gamo, would that work?

I have always replaced the factory stock screws on my air rifles.
I replaced them on my FWB124D, BSF S70, Walther LG53, and Diana 27 with metric allen socket head screws.
They are a beautiful deep blue/black and I find that I can better judge the torque and the heads do not burr or distort.
I just took the old screws and the cylinders to Home Depot, Rona, or Canadian Tire and got matching screws from their big displays.
The Gamo and Quest stock screws are probably metric.

what does that mean? what is a metric screw?

North American Threads are usually designated by inch measurements or wire gauges and threads per inch eg. 1/4" OD x 20 threads per inch = 1/4 x 20.
There are also old British standards, no longer used.
There are also standards for number of threads per inch by OD, designated as coarse or fine thread.
Best to check a machinist's handbook for all the variants.
The rest of the world uses Metric screw designations.
eg: the front stock screws on a Diana 27 are 4mm OD x 0.70 coarse pitch by 12 mm long = M4 x0.7x12 .
The trigger guard screw on a 27 is M6x1.0x30.
Stock screws on HW80,85,95 etc. = M5x0.8x10.
Note that BSA and Webley have used some totally special screws on their old products in order to have the overpriced captive parts business.

yeah, in the states we just refer to our units as "standard". the others are "metric". just take your screws (and even the gun) to the local hardware store and ask them to find a fit for you. leave the gun in the car unless they ask to see it. they ought to be happy to help.

you might have to cut some length off the new screws to fit, though. that's really no big deal if you have a hacksaw (or a dremel) and a vice.

here's the place I go to when I need screws or fasteners.....if you can get to one of thier locations....just bing the screw up to the counter and tell them how many you need..they're equiped to measure all the particulars for you in a jiffy....sometime it's worth buying a box over just 1 or 2 pieces...just ask.....

Here are some common tools used to help determine screw size and pitch....

armed with the right info you can shop around and order from different suppliers......
