Chiappa Mare's Leg came apart, cant find parts.

Luckily it isn't stripped. The screw broke when shooting it. Threads are fully intact. So im trying to find a replacement screw made out of stainless ideally. I have a box of 100 M3.5-0.6 on order through acklands that should be a proper fit.

I thought the threads in the band were messed up. I'm glad I was wrong.

If, in the end, you need the dent pulled in the mag tube, I'm equipped and skilled.

Ahh, I think you got me mixed up with the OP. The screw in mine just broke into 3 pieces, the head fell out where I was shooting so its gone so I only have the threads and the smooth portion. Didn't appear to bend my mag tube.
 
"...and ship the firearm to them." This is all good news, but it depends WHERE it's being shipped. If it's to Grech and if they are as hopeless as reports indicate, the warranty isn't all that useful. If someone needs a couple of screws and it takes Grech 6 months to get the screws..... The warranty is one thing but gettin service under it may well be the real problem!

But if you've had good customer service, then that's good news :)

You ship to grech.
You can call and ask about wait times, mine was fixed last year in summer, took 5 weeks. They fixed 2 of my guns, no complaints.
If you cannot wait 5 weeks more or less, you will need to source parts and pay for them yourself from another vendor if you find one.
 
Well, parts being sourced from Italy, there's little chance to get any Chiappas fixed this year.
I sent brand new expensive-junk Rhino to service on March 1st last year. It's still there.
 
M3.5-0.6 x 35mm panhead machine screws arrived from Acklands today. Got them home and they are a perfect fit.
However they require being cut to length though, and since they are panheads need to be inserted into a dremel chuck and have the head ground down on a file to size and given a taper and a rounded top to match the original. My first one was off a bit and cut 2mm too short, the second one was perfect after a coat of black spraypaint. I have a bag of 98...if anyone needs one.

I think it depends on parts needed. If it needs to come from Italy, you are screwed.
My guns needed pins and screws replaced, that I bet they have and you just have to wait for your turn. Only one way to know.
 
Nice work Scarumanga, congratulations your the new chiappa warranty provider!
