    Also UNLIKE ALL OTHER GRIP SCREWS, ours are CUSTOM CONFIGURABLE so you can make them any thread pitch you want, just cut the thread pitch you want. Even HK, COLT, BCM, LMT, KAC grip screws can't do that....OURS CAN.

    PRO TIP: Buy an extra dozen and leave them UNCUT, that way when Congress mandates some unique thread pitch to prevent installation of USGI parts, you will still have super high grade grips screws that you can configure to future specifications.

    Buy a dozen to cut, but a dozen to leave uncut and buy a dozen to HIDE from FBI/ATF/HLS/XYZ. When they ban grip screws, only criminals will have grip screws...but SO WILL YOU IF YOU ACT NOW.
    I'm in. Do you think 24 is enough?. I don't want to get caught short when I'm 85 years old.

    My AR even has a plain, slotted grip screw. How can I trust that over a combo drive screw? I’m thinking a bunch of grips must be falling right off so I’m worried. Hell, the screw may not even be made in America.
    First of all, you need to get a stellite lined barrel, chrome isn't quite up to snuff. Secondly make sure to install an accuwedge to damper the harmonic oscillations of the barrel which can cause flaking.

    Man, I don't know if I trust ANY linings now...

    Maybe it's best to get a barrel that's entirely Stellite.

    Hey Steyr - Can you make those 80% screws out of Stellite?

    It'll be a bitch to finish them with my router, but I think it'll be worth it for the added wear resistance.

    I would round out at 100, your grandkids will probably have to fight the "next" next civil war, you don't want them getting short changed on grip screws. It's for the sake of the republic.

    Just spray them with teflon coating and they will become BULLET PROOF. We'd offer that option but I don't want to goobermint to ban them.

    Can I request a combo torx/phillips/slotted head or do I need to cut them myself? When a grip goes tits up in the field, I’m not sure if I’ll have all the drivers with me.

    Stellite - check
    80% grip screws - check
    80% stellite combo grip screws - mind blown
    Do you even get down innagrass, bro?

    Oh man, I knew it was going to be patriotic to buy these screws...instead of 100, put me down for 200.

    I was thinking about the OP...the flaking chrome. Short of dumping 2 or 3k of .223 to buff out the flaking, I was thinking that this would be a good time to whip out the mighty DREMEL, with a custom super long extension and something abrasive on the end to attack this stubborn gunsmithing job. I of course would work from the chamber end, I wouldn't want to mess up the crown or something else.
