Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Tom, Scarcer than hen's teeth. I don't know if you checked, but I would call Colt first. I looked at different web sites, but no one seems to have that screw. I guess it would have to be machined. A couple of folks have sent work to Bill Fuchs at Spring Creek Armory and have been very satisfied with his work. His phone number is 307 431 9194. I'll keep looking, but if you find one let me know as I have a black powder frame Colt and I could use an extra. Tex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Bill Fuchs replaced one on my first generation that was all bunged up. But I'm sure he just rethreaded it to a standard thread and used a standard Colt screw. It was was an economy project. Bill has parts and sources. Third generation should be more likely to find. This was the screw that was replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Back at you, Tom. I have a lead. I'll get back to you as soon as they call me back. No use in both of us leaving messages. Tex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 There MAYBE a small chance a Uberti or Pietta screw may fit a third generation - if you could get one of them. I think Bill said first generation screws were some funky old English thread used before metric standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Here is a first generation black powder frame base pin screw. I don't think they are the same for 3rd. But seller had lots of Colt parts listed. https://www.ebay.com/itm/323891695904?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=u7mEGgfaR3W&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=50FN6O-aQQ6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Kid Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The screw in my 3rd gens have threads the full length of the screw. Pitch is 32. Most 1st gens screws are 24 tpi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Payne 13115 Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Found what I was looking for. My pard Tex Jones gave me a heads up that Peacemaker Specialists has a replacement pin and 1st Gen type screw. I bought the kit. Thanks to all who responded!!

Hawkeye Kid Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Tom check the thread size, difference between 1st and 3rd gens. FYI, S&S Firearms in New York has 1st gen screw and pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a better design then the threads all the way down the screw. The new cylinder pin also accommodates the new type screw. I'll let ya know!!
