A blog about all kinds of vintage technology from simple mechanisms of the late 1800s through electronics and robotics of the 1980s. Many posts will be typecast and some will be off topic bits from everyday life. The blog will wander and meander with my quasi-evolving and ever changing interests.

What do Remingtons and Harleys have in common?
Try finding a modern 1/4" x 24 pitch screw if you would like to know 🔩
This weird beast is from a foot on the Remington Noiseless. I bought a parts machine to get various bits I wanted.
Some of the machine screws are getting very hard to find. Luckily I have a gunsmith about half an hour away where I get many of my standard thread screws. Metric are a completely different very rare animal to find in the USA.

ReplyDeleteLucky you! All I have are general hardware stores. I'm in the process of rigging a connection to a hideaway desk.
