eres the story:

I have a Microtech LCC Manual action, and the screws are stripped on it.

I call microtech, and they say blah blah blah we have to put the screws in here... and to ship it costs 10 dollars USD, and i have to pay shipping. TO us canadians, ten bucks is quite a bit, and i would rrather be spending it on a new knife, i keep telling microtech that i have the torx drivers, and it would be easy for everyone, she just says "we do this everyday", I bet they do, but i really dont want to send my knife out, wait the 2 weeks from microtech, then the 10000light years for canada customs, just to get spme screws put in!!!!
Does anyone know a way i can just get some screws that will fit my lcc instead of sending my knife?

Look at some local hardware stores or a machine shop. There are micro screws available. I don't know what size MT uses, but I would think it is a 4-40, 4-48, or 2-56 fine thread. You just have to cut them to size using a pair of wire stripping pliers that have screw cutters in them. then file them down to exact size or use a Dremel to do it. I've got a good supply of all types of microscrews just for situations like this.
 
i should have added this:

the screws are the ones that hold the cf scale material,those screws... im gonig to call around, theyre called microscrews?
 
eew,

yeash i have a supplier in my province... now i just need to find a size....

theyyre the screws that hold the scales on, so would any of these fit the bill?

0-80
1-72
2-56
0-40
 
Just take the knife with you and ask to see the diferent sizes and try screwing one in. You should be able to tell if it is a fit or not.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes!:D
