Title: Win. 1300 scope mount plug screws
Post by: thedoveshooter on February 20, 2019, 12:19:10 PM
I just picked up a Winchester 1300 turkey that has a scope mounted on it.  I'm pretty sure I'll just use the gun open sights so I will need the screws that fill in the scope mount holes. 

Do any of ya'll know where I can buy these or at least how they are threaded and length?

Thanks!

Most gun shops around should have a kit with an assortment of replacement screws, at least where i'm from in Pa. they do. If I remember correctly it was just a few dollars for 4 screws for my 870. Hope this helps to lead you in the right direction.

Thanks!  I don't know why I didn't think of that.  I guess I just like fixing things myself, but your suggestion seems the best route!

eBay sells filler screws.  I buy on there all the time

I saw that, but I don't know what thread and length to get.

They are probably 6-48 screws. The length shouldn't matter
