Torx screw size for Marlin 336?

Does anybody know? Also, what is the easiest way to order just a few screws?

What screws

Which one are yu referring to? If it is the scope base screws, then it is a 6x48. Brownells sells them. They have a kit that comes with all different kinds in the 6x48 and 8x40. Just order a bag of the 6x48. Shouldn't be more than a few dollars and you will always come up with a need for them.

My 336 uses the 8-40 screws.

question for you

Did you buy it like that or could someone else have changed the screws out? All the ones I have seen have used the 6x48.

It came that way from the factory and the Weaver base came with 8-40 screws.

Change for the better

Looks like they might have made an improvement for the better althogh I haven't seen a problem with the 6x48 screws with a lever action rifle. All of the ones that have been through my shop have used the smaller screws.

screws

Guys!
Bristol screws are the best! Hard to find in gun pitches.
I used them on the IBM Selectris typewriter anf you NEVER found one with a bad head!
