The term turnscrew probably originated from the woodworking trade like cabinet or furniture making and just stuck.
In the gun trade….a screw goes into wood while a pin goes into metal. A “wire” isn’t threaded and takes the place of a pin and usually holds the Sears and hammers/tumblers into the action.
