	As the title says, I need dimensions for a Ballard lever screw. I know I have seen it recently but search said no matches. Memory says .277-40, but I would rather know for certain. Thanks, Richard

	I like to make replacement screws as close fit as possible so I like the rifle in hand to fit the screws. The threads are 40 tpi and generally .225-.227" diameter depending on wear. The shank and head are fitted as needed. I've rethreaded one that was stripped to 1/4"-32 and had to open the lever and frame holes accordingly.
