| Epee Screw Size
Actually this thread is directed to Barry Paul, but would like to see if anyone else has figured this one out. I was trying to see if anyone knew what the grub screw size was for the "Big Four" epee tips. I was trying to measure it, but the old eyes and fat stubby fingers had a tough time holding them. I believe it is 2mm x .4 or .45 may be what we are looking for.
Any help out there?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Had a great time at Armorer's College! Sorry to see the other thread degenerate into a p***ing contest. :-( A unique experience to say the least.

We finally had to ask that Dan start sending stuff to the right... |

| OK guys, what's the deal? Is this information some kind of state secret?

| So, does anybody know the size of the screw?
BTW Ka-riposte right back atcha Purple! For those totally baffled by this we stumbled across each other on another forum where that joke would be understood.

Found it and where to get the taps. Don't bother asking.
