Anyone know the size of the base clamp screw on Arken 34mm rings?
I sheared one in half and need to know what size to order.
 
That sounds easy but most our hardware stores are crap and aren't going to carry a torx socket head cap screw especially if it winds up being metric threaded. Not to mention from one side of town to the other is 45 min. one way.
I'd rather do my searching by phone or on the net rather than aimlessly burning time and fuel.
Arken got back to me by email and will send me some free under warranty. Just going to take a few days to get here. Was just trying to find some local and save time if possible. Even Amazon is faster than USPS.
 
In case anyone else on the web is searching this info. This is the screw size. McFaddendales has them in Allen head but not torx.

Part arrived today and was.....incorrect.
I had sent to them, at their request, a pic of the broken screw needed.
In return they sent me the base clamp, not the screws i requested.
Good thing I didn't wait on them or I'd still be waiting.
 
That's what I went and found at McFaddendales last weekend. I wasn't going to wait around on slow shipping and glad I didn't. Spent probably close to $10 in fuel for $.35 worth of screws. 🤣
