What are these?

[CHWine]

Bought a NIB TC Impact from a fellow and I'm about ready to shoot it. Read instructions and identified most items. Then there's this tiny bag with these things.

Appear to be screw hole plugs.

Plug screws for when the sights are removed.

Looks like they are plugs from the holes where the scope would mount.

Ok. So I don't feel super dumb now!

Not to worry. There are no dumb questions.

I call them "unfindables". After oh, say ten years or so when I wish to remove a sight/scope base from a firearm - this are the things I need to find to fill the holes. I can never find them. When I run across a small plastic sack (such as you posted), the sack was never labelled.

Basic rule is - the ones I find will not fit the holes I try to fill. Based on prices asked on Gunbroker/FleaBay, a thimble full is worth a tank of gasoline. Many guns have pre-drilled holes in receivers for mounting sight or scope bases. Save them.

Usually they are 6-48 or 8-40. You can buy them by the sack full at Brownell's.

I don't do metric, god only knows what they would be.

I have a small metal box with doodads and parts from I don't remember where. I have a bunch of those plugs.
