Mc master carr has socket head cap screws in stock in this size Socket head screws will be a problem as there's not enough room to get a wrench into the head. Might need to cut the wrench down really short if you did use a socket head screw.

	I have found that to be true. The casting sets I have done I normally try and use easily attainable common screw sizes for firearms. Unless I want to be absolutely true to original and then you have a hard time finding taps and dies for a lot of it to make the screws. Tried to make a few weird taps in past usually with dismal results. JMH
