ED80 screws to mount MDS bar on top for guidescope ?

^^^^^

As above guys. What type of screw is needed for the bushes on the top of the ED80 please? They need to be countersunk to allow scope rings to slide. I have drilled the below but need the mounting screws.....

The tube rings that come with an ED80 are tapped 6mm at the base and 1/4" - 20 UNC at the top although 1/4" Whitworth are also compatible with the top holes.

Thanks Steve. OK will look for some 1/4 Whitworth countersunk bolts.

Anyone know of a supplier please offhand? If not I will give bonehams.co.uk a visit.

Try these two companies - have used both several times. 1/4" - 20 UNC would be the preferred option:-

Nice one Steve. Thanks for the assistance. Will try my dad first 'cos he has loads of stuff like this kicking about. But failing that the link above looks good.
