I've got some screws (top lever, top tang, trigger plate, etc) that are what I would call "over-timed". Put another way, if they are as tight they should be, the slots will be past the direction that they should be pointing. Complicating this further, some of them have heads that are fit to the curve of what they are positioned in. What are the strategies to fix such problems?
The issues are with the Alfred Field, and I cannot make new screws nor buy replacements from Mr. Field.
Thanks!
The easiest way to "re-time" a used screw is to insert a small piece of pure silver wire around the body of the screw as you tighten the screw the wire will flatten exactly to the thickness necessary for the appropriate timing, it work only with soft and elastic metal like pure silver or 24K gold, lead is too soft!
