Benelli MP90s Adjustment screw

Post by Rudi »

Is there an off the shelf replacement for this screw 071p?
Mine came pretty beat up, probably due to an ill fitting screwdriver from the previous owner.

Even a hex key version is welcome.

On a side note, do folks use a custom rounded screw driver for this? I've seen others use a coin, or metal disk placed in a wooden handle.

Unfortunately, no. They use a fine thread, and the detents for the elevation require multiple little dimples on the underside of the head.

It's designed to use with a coin. A penny works & is soft and won't mar it.

Jim Henderson, who bought LGI's stock of parts when the owner died, probably has one. The question is whether he can find it...

I think it's standard M3, but yeah, very special shape. You'll need the authentic item.

One possibility might be to repair the top surface, with epoxy or some careful filing/machining. Probably not worth it.

Tip: if you remove it, be sure to tie the sight down with a ziptie because the tension spring might escape the pocket. If this happens, you may have to remove the sight pivot pins to get it all back together.
