I do not know for sure, but 6-48 and 8-40 are the most common optic base screw sizes....but Ruger often uses 6-40 for sights and other parts. Do you have any of those 3 on hand to try?
(The front sight screw on a Ruger Mark 2/3 22 auto pistol is 6-40) |

I'm not sure why, the only thing I can think of is it fits in the cut for the rear ring nicely I really have no idea why |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By kwg020: 5-40. Holy cow. Just like Ruger kwg Not that uncommon, the beloved Mossberg 500 and 590 front bead is a 5-40 thread. It looks like that 5-40 hole is just the right size/width to fit in the Ruger ring slot, and it you get too heavy handed and strip the threads in that hole(s) you can easily retap to 6-40 or 6-48. |
