Need a nut for the trigger adjustment screw on a winchester Mod. 70. What is the size and pitch of that screw? Thanks.

  Suggest that you take just the trigger group to a hardware store and see it it doesn't have one, in stainless if possible.

  My guess is they will not any thing even close. Gun screws use a different thread than other common items. Forcing a screw on may work but it most likely will not be correct.

  The nut is a 1/4", so I'm assuming the threads are 8-32 or 10-32 10-32 and 3/16ths-32 are very close.
  
  As noted though, take the trigger group to the store and see what it is and if they have one. While you're there you might spend about $4-$6 and get a thread gauge.

  According to Brownell's book the trigger adjustment screw is threaded 6-48.

  That is a standard fine thread then.
