  Don't think they offer much in the way of gun screws, but they have a lot of unusual taps, dies, drills, etc.

  Thanks for the sources. I was going to do the tapping myself (for that peep sight on another post) but decided to take it to the local Gander Mountain gunsmith. Can any of you gunsmiths out there give me an idea of what price to expect for tapping two 6-40 holes on the side of a Marlin Model 80 bolt action? I'm installing a side-mounted peep sight.

  Gander Mountain wants $30 for the job. A bit high. I think I'll buy the tap............
