RWS My 10 cent Elevation Screw, LOL 😆

Rebuilding a friend of mines RWS 93/ Cometa 300. It was also missing the plastic elevation screw and I haven’t been able to locate one, except overseas and shipping is prohibitive. So figured I would just make one for now. A dime was the perfect diameter and already knurled soo……I found an appropriate metric screw, cut the head off, filed the end square, drilled a hole in the dime and filed it square with a needle file, peened the screw end and voila! rear elevation screw! Perhaps a little hack‘ish but it works perfectly, made of metal vs plastic original and I even drilled some dimples underneath for the click stops. Flame away! Haha.
