did they need the head turned down? or direct fit?

Actually I didn't even try them as-is.  I compared one to the head diameter of the OEM screw and it was bigger by 0.030".  So I chucked one up on my cordless drill and ground it down to match.  I don't think there's much clearance in that hole so I'm guessing it has to be done.

It's so nice to be able to tighten that down without wincing in fear.

very true
accustoms used to sell a ss breech screw that was a perfect fit
