Does anyone know the correct bolt & threaded sleeve size for the Night Stalker 6 (same as RD6) handle screws/bolts?

Are they just basic flat head machine screws 3/8" head X 3/8" length with a 1/2" threaded spacer?

I've emailed OKC twice and still no reply. Looking to replace the tarnished/pitted ones with new ones but having difficulty figuring out sizes to buy. I don't know if the local hardware/home improvement stores carry anything similar so wanted to know specific dimensions when ordering online.

Thanks in advance.

dumb question but couldnt ya take the current ones out and measure, or with ya to the local hardware store and match perfectly?
 
Like i mentioned i don't think these are normal size. The head measures 5/16". I'm guessing the thread length is 1/4" or 3/8" I'll likely go buy a few to try but the head size seems larger than what's most commonly available. Plus i haven't found the dimensions of the threaded spacer sleeve and don't see many available online.

gotcha. good luck on the hunt.....maybe the fellas here have the answers youre looking for.......
 
If i figure it out before anyone else chimes in with an answer I'll be sure to post my findings.
 
You can call or E-mail OKC's customer service maybe. They do sell new RD line handle scales, I need to get some to replace the dumb G-10 orange scales on an RD 9 and RD 4.
 
OKC Customer Service finally got back to me and are sending me some new ones. Thanks OKC :).

I ran to HD and took a look and nothing they have matches. Plus they don't carry threaded spcer bars of any type, let alone brass like the stock ones. Also none of the packaging gives the threaded shaft diameter to know if 10-24 or 8-24 will fit the existing spacer. Once the new ones arrive I'll measure and try to find some online since some of the online retailers show more dimensions.
