Hey does anybody have any of the factory plastic screw holes plugs laying around they'd part with? I am looking for 4. Thanks!
I believe they are 8-40 thread. You can order the little flat head blank filler screws from Brownells...

Thank you, and you are correct. Looking for the factory plastic ones. I feel they provide a cleaner look.
If my calipers and math are correct 8-40 screws are .16" in diameter = 4mm. I've never removed the ones in a Franchi receiver so the length and head diameter on these may be wrong, but take a look, may work may not. Somebody else may be able to point you in a better direction. If these should work for you please post back so anybody else looking will know. Good luck.

Thanks for the link. I checked them out and the head diameter on there would be about twice as large (8mm vs a little over 4mm).

Yah it's been awhile since I saw them and didn't remember how big the head was. Have you tried to contact Franchi?
