The Forster Springfield/Krag replacement screw (brand part no. SMSPRI) is threaded to the 1/4-inch-25 specification shared by Springfield and Krag-Jorgensen rifle actions, giving a gunsmith an exact-fit replacement instead of forcing a generic hardware screw into a thread it wasn’t cut for. Forster Products makes this as a single replacement screw rather than a multi-piece kit, useful when only one specific screw needs swapping out on either action pattern. Matching the original thread pitch avoids cross-threading a hole in an action that’s often over a century old. Stock it with the rest of our gunsmithing tools and gunsmith supplies for period military rifle upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Springfield and Krag actions share the same screw? Both early American military rifle patterns used the same 1/4-inch-25 thread specification for this hardware, letting one replacement screw cover either action.

How critical is thread matching on a century-old action? Very; original threads on rifles this old are often worn or fragile, and a mismatched screw can strip them permanently.
