You are referring to screws needed for the base ?

 I think I have some various old base screws . I don't know how to determine if a screw is 10-32. But if I have a set, you are welcome to them. 
I have a small collection of old Weaver scopes. I like the ones that have post reticles. Some are k series, 2.5, 3, and 4. Also have some of the early variable scopes. They still work as good as they always did. If you think you could use one, just let me know.

I will see what old screws I have and we'll figure out what they are.

Thanks Less ..
These screws n threads are very common..
I think they are not..typical but someone in the past did this work on the barrel..
For the weaver mount they should have been 8-40's..
But who knows what mount was used..

 

I can make it work tho.. :0)

I had an uncle, now deceased, who once told me he loved the Weaver scopes with the big post reticle.
He said, “You can sure see a deer at night, with that big post” !

Do you mean they "bake" in the melting pot or go "back" (as in return) to the melting pot.
