    Default Need a little help, whatsit?

    I was going through a box and came accross these two screws.

    I ASSUME, yep I do know what that means, that they were some sort of sight adjustment screws.

    I used my calipier to get these measurements. Overall length is 1.33", the first step down below the knurling measures .413
    the next step meas. .311 and the small shaft just before the threads measures .137

    Any help would be appreciated.

    They look like the screws that go in the back of a computer case.

    I agree with Amnesia. Those look like screws for the back of a desktop computer case.

    They look French. Maybe the locking screws for a calipier?

    Thanks guys. They were in a large box along with sights, rings, a Model 512 peep sight and misc. firearm screws and parts.

    BTW, the guess about them being screws from a computer? The guy that owned all this stuff, there were four SUV loads I brought home, wouldn't know a computer from a toaster.

    I knew they were gun related, just didn't know what.

    Thanks, Tom

    They look like screws from sling mounts or swivels.
