I have managed to strip my front grip screw, and I was wondering if it (or all of them for taht matter) could be replaced with "normal" screws that I could find at my local hardware store, opposed to getting stok ones from my Proshop.

Yeah, I believe they are all 8-32, but double check. BTW, Home Depot and Lowes, both sell the allen head screws, just like the stock ones. That's were I got all my spares. You can also get stainless there, but they might be philips head.

They are 10-32 and though they are Allen head (called by some "socket") the head is just a little different than the short head style that comes in the marker. Stainless is a good way to go...no more rusted screws! I replaced mine at Home Depot. |
