Looking for a type A rear sight windage screw for a Browning Hi-Power

[gnmontey]

Browning doesn't list it.
Brownells doesn't list it.
Munrich indicates out-of-stock.
Have posted a WTB on the EE.

Suggestions?

The silly part is that I had the sucker in my hand and didn't know what it was for. For the life of me I can't figure out what I did with it

I don't recall what the "Type A" sight is, if it is the "tubular" style, then try the screw from the Browning BLR-81 rifle. I know the "tube" fits the Hi-Power, though the notch needs opened up for the wider pistol front sight. The screw may, or may not, fit and/or need fitting.

It sure looks like the same thing, and worth a try.

Thanks for posting!

Turns out they are the same screw. Received two from Brownels packed in a 6X6X10 inch box (??) yesterday.

One day after I found the missing screw (3 weeks later). Go figure!

Good call, I would never have considered the option.

Good deal! I knew the blade would fit, just wasn't sure about the screw.

On the plus side, you now have a couple of rare Hi-Power screws to offer for sale.

That large box is used to prevent loss during shipping, small packages get lost easily.

The screws go into the spares bin, and a little loctite ensures it never happens again.

Thanks for responding!!!
