The screws have arrived! The first order was lost in shipping, or so they say. I have 100 of each in flat and Phillips screwdriver.
These will be made available to forum members. I plan to bag 2 of each type for mailing. That will supply 50 members with 4 spares.
I have been deciding on how to do this where it will be quick and painless for all of us, me especially.
So, lets try this:
Find my e-mail address under my profile.
Send me your address to send them, using USPS
Hopefully I can slip 4 (they are tiny) in an envelope and mail for 44 cent. They may have to be enclosed in a small mailer which will be a bit more. I will know for sure when I try to mail the first ones.
There is no cost for the screws, my thanks for a great bunch of friends which I will probably never meet
All I ask is when you receive them check the cost of postage on the package.
Round it off to the nearest dollar, place that amount in an envelope and mail it back to me. Just want the postage cost reimbursed.
I have to go uptown for mail and only do that twice a week so don't be discouraged if your screws aren't sent the same day that you request.
This aint Burger King and no, you don't get it your way :D
Any questions or suggestions? Fire away

mr007s i'm glad there are still people out there like that.. :-*
i was thinking about doing the same with orings, i got a bunch of viton 111 duro 70 for pump guns. 8)
Some screws have already been sent on their way. I am able to send them in an envelope with some bubble wrap protection. It is costing around 65 cent for U.S. One went to England and it was around 1.50$.
I have been ask about paying with paypal, and I would not want that problem.
Just look at the postage on the envelope when it arrives. Round off the amount to the nearest buck to eliminate mailing back coins.
Place cash paper bucks wrapped with a sheet of paper in return envelope and return to me. all will be fine and life is good for each of us.
Thanks guys, have a good en!
Man you are such a sweetheart :-\ and a good guy to boot. Thanks for helping out our 'screwless' friends.

Ah shucks guys, just glad to help in some small way.
Very cool thing to do! I always like to pay it forward when I can, I see you do as well. :)
I wouldn't mind a set of those screws, sending an email!
You are a good guy for sure.
Very nice of you to offer this to those of us who cant seem to find those little guys anywhere. Thanks So much. E-mail sent. :)
Just to let all know, the response for screws has been great. Almost half of the 200 have been mailed in the last few weeks. If you think you may need some better get your name on the list, I don't know how quickly my supply will run out.
Many of you have sent much more back than the required postage. Now that was not necessary on your part but I want each of you to know it is very much appreciated. I will use the extra as stimulus package to buy beer and cigars ;D. I especially appreciate the nice notes that have been sent, thank you. Just another aspect as to why I enjoy this forum so much.
You all have a great week!

We have had many new members join recently and I thought it a good idea to bump this thread in case they had missed it.
There has been a good response to this with only a few taking the screws and running.
funny you posted this, I just turned the head down on one of mine I got from you and installed it in my 2240 today
I use Alen at ABairguns.com for all my stock crosman parts needs, he carries all the parts you will ever need, good service, and just a nice guy to talk to. he's a authorised crosman service center located in Kansas USA.

That's why I love the airgun community.
I e-mailed you a couple of weeks back about the breech screw offer.
Never heard anything.

What is your name and address? Folks don't send their forum "handle" to help identify them so I don't know who is who most of the time. If you sent a request several weeks ago, I assure you they have been mailed. You must not be in the US?
Got mine yesterday - thanks much!
JMJ
Thank you .I got mine in the mail today. I am in Canada and sure appreciate you sending them up here. I will send a return post tomorrow.
Mine arrived yesterday. Two of them have already found a home in my 1377 and my 2240. Thanks for your generosity to me and other forum members!

You are certainly welcome. More that were requested have been sent, you should receive them any day. Enjoy :P
Got mine the other day. Thanks
Glen
Received mine today. Thanks Mr007!!! Postage cover will be mailed ASAP! Thanks again!

With the recent growth of new members, I thought I would bump this thread for those that don't know the free 4-48 screws are still available. Read the start of this thread to learn how to get them.
For those that have responded, thanks! Those that have gotten screws but have not returned shipping cost I would be pleased if you would take care of that. My cigar and beer supply is real low and
I sure could use the funds!
Hope you received the $1 and $2 coin's I sent you.

They are stainless and have a slotted head. No Allen wrench required.

Just got home from work, pulled up to the mailbox to get the weekly dose of bills, and the only thing in it was my new screws... 8)! Awesome start to the weekend... :-*!
Your envelope will be in the mail Mon/Tues
Thanks again Mr007, I appreciate it,
Todd
Email sent :-*
Well guys, the screws are all gone. Bassmannate got the last of the lot. If you need a spare you will have to find another source.
Thanks for all the kind notes and thanks you guys sent. I was glad to help in my own small way.
I will step up to the plate here and take over where my friend mr007 left off. I have about 75 of the slotted head 4-48 screws left and will make the same offer that he did.
1) Find my e-mail address under my profile.
2) Send me your USPS shipping address.
3) Don't worry if you get a spam prompt when you send me the eMail. I do that for protection. But then I also check my spam box a dozen times a day so your eMail will not be lost.
I am going to use a small bubble wrap mailer which will be a bit more. I will know the approximate price after I send the first one or two packages.
Again there is no cost for the screws, my thanks for a great bunch of friends which I will probably never meet.
All I ask is when you receive them check the cost of postage on the package.
Round it off to the nearest dollar, place that amount in an envelope and mail it back to me. Just want the postage cost reimbursed.
I also must drive to town to mail stuff and only do this two or three times a week so don't be discouraged if your screws aren't sent the same day that you request.
This aint Burger King and no, you don't get it your way.
Carl
Thanks for taking over Carl, I know the guys and gals here will appreciate it also. Those pesky screws are a problem for all of us at some time or another.
My 4-48's arrived today. Dropping your payment in the mail tomorrow, but first putting my 2240 back together tonight!! :) Thanks!!
John
Thanks for taking over this great offer.
E-mail sent through forum profile. :-*
Carl, you really are a super good dude. Mighty nice of you sir.
J.Austin
Got mine today. Will be dropping your payment in the mail tomorrow. :-*
Sending bill to u friday.Thanks,mcc1961
Got mine today, letter return on it's way.
They are really nice little screws.
Thanks Carl for doing this.
Dang it. Ignore my email. If you get anymore in please keep me in mind. Thanks
Dave
Dave,
I think I have a couple of extra slotted stainless steel 4-48 breech screws. If that is what you want, I'll dig them out and mail you a couple.
Cheers,
Jerry
I still have quite a few left in my stash, probably 40 or more.
Dave you have sent the eMail to Mr007 and not me.
Carl
Hey Carl, I have sent him your way :)
Carl,
PM heading your way. Thanks again !
Dave
Still have any screws left???
I sure do.
Carl
Well, I finally needs some replacement breech screws. You all said the time would come.
I would like to stock up on four or so. Carl, do you have any left for sale?
Carl,
e-Mail me your mailing address please. I lost all of my e-mailings and the letter you sent the screws in.
