That holds in the bolck that the locking block bears against? And where can I find a replacement screw?

They have new made ones http://www.karmametalproducts.com/KAR_FIREARM_PARTS.htm


It is the 1919 Breach lock cam screw

Damn, just ordered from them the other day...maybe they'll just stick one in an envelope for a few bucks if I ask nice.

Actually got my trigger the other day- beautiful piece of work, and my friend who builds 1919s and hadn't seen the new style trigger was suitably impressed.

You know enough NOT to lock that screw down tight, right?

I don't know a damn thing about it other than:

1. It holds the block in

2. Mine has been staked about 15 times and is pretty much destroyed

If you have any helpful advice I am all ears.

 

[30calmachinegunner]

just get a button head screw in 5/16" X 28 pitch the proper length.

 

[tomt]

wrong pitch

you trying to kill my biusiness ??LOL anyway brian, it's a 24 pitch !! thanks. tomt

 

[30calmachinegunner]

Had a lot going on and missed the pitch, I just knew I would be chastised for it Tom, the thing is the button head works, just doesn't look original like yours

 

[BeltFedPlus]

Mine came from TNW with a 5/16-24 socket head cap screw.
The one I'm building will probably have the same....

Regards,
Tom

OK, why not? It does get staked in, right? Is it supposed to be staked in a little loose?

Fantastic, guy posts in my thread like a know-it-all but never returns to actually explain or share knoweldge. Typical internet warrior, right back at you buddy:

 

[knall]

Leave It Loose

I am not sure about this....... but I beleive you "snug" it then back it out 1/4 turn, then stake it. That part needs to be able to float.
Definately wait for someone to tell you the correct method. IT IS NOT SAPOSED TO BE TIGHT.

This topic has been discussed in several maintenance bulletins and technical manuals such as TM 9-1005-212-25, page 17, "Screw..must be drawn up tight, backed off 1/6 to 1/4 turn, and stacked in two places on breech lock cam.." or TM 9-1005-212-35 page 66 "Float slightly except on guns of Saginaw Mfg, to float, loosen screw 5020527 1/6 to 1/4 turn, and stake on inside of casing group in two places adjacent to clearances which are provided in breech lock cam."

 

[HuecoDoc]

I guess I'll loosen mine up, but it was sure on tight when I got it.

 

[dawg180]

Just to clarify, the reason I need a new screw is mine has been staked 12-15 times, on both the top and underside. It is literally unuseable, almost no screw slot left, and I will have to remove it to remove the breech cam block so I can demill the rivets on the right side plate.
