I had a few BSA rifles that had peep sights still have a new complete sight that I was going to use on a 12/15 I was putting together. and that was the screws I used to attach the sights.

Forgot to tell you there does not seem to be anything wrong with your screw threads only the slots look buggered up, The slots can be filed and re-dressed .

Do you mean the slots in the base plate ? The picture of the screws about was taken fro notes web they were being sold with a #8 sight. I feel that BSA would want me to screw into the base plate not into the wood

As an aside any idea how to disassemble the base from the stem on the #8 . The knob rotates and yet you would need to remove it to slide the stem out .

I will dig mine out after work, that's if I remember. It's been awhile since I have had both the BSA No.1 and #8 peep out together. I do not store it with the sight on, to much junk in the way and I am afraid of breaking it off.

the screws on mine are a 8-40tpi to mount the tang sight.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the screws on Amazon.

Thank you very much

By the way that is a nice set up you have . I have also added a BSA 19a front sight to compliment the #8.

I ordered one of those screw kits which has them all in, figured I will need more in the future Thanks

I am pleased to report that the screws arrived. You were right the 8-40 x 3/16 fit perfectly.

Looking for another base plate for my BSA Model 2 , they are hard to find.

Thanks again

Looking good.

It's been awhile since I have seen a base, but they do pop up occasionally on eBay.
