Have a rifle with one and would like to take it off and put plug screw in the holes. Thread specs? and are plug screws available in that size?

  Nearly all US scope mount screws are 6-48 or more recently 8-40.

  Plug screws are readily available from Brownells, maybe Midway.

  Thank you for your response. I am aware of the customary 6-48/8-40 scope mount screws but thought that Williams might use something heavier for their side mounts. I have a NIB Williams side mount in my collection of "stuff", so I measured the screws with my calipers and the major diameter is .162". I counted the threads at 5 per 1/8", so 8-40 it is! Thanks again for the reminder.

  This has been worth every bit I paid for it. Sure makes it easier on the eyes.
