    Remington v3 12ga.
    Brand new gun.
    Holes are not stripped.
    2 Allen screws holding on the magazine tube.
    It's in-between 2.5 and 3mm
    In the middle of 3/32 and 1/8(4/32)
    Even in between a t10 and t15.
    May grind my own?

    It is the new rule, when they say 4 rounds, they mean 4 rounds.
    Tube threads are supposed to be the same to use standard Remington extensions. This is where the main tube is bolted to the receiver. Looks like one didn't get tightened from the factory. It's about 4 threads from being pulled up.

    GUN SCREWS ARE DIFFERENT SIZE , Halls Hardwares or a gun shop store, may have , ask to bring gun in let them handle gun for sizing . Some stores sell small kits 10-15 pieces - luck and don't strip .

    While I don't disagree gun screws can be different sizes, this is just a barrel headed Allen bolt. One that's made commercially for what should be any application.

    I ran into the same situation and got the flashlight out (older eyes see better with more light) turns out what I thought was an Allen screw was actually a torx screw. Couldn’t see it lust looking at it but looked closer and that was it. Hope this helps.

    I tried torx just because. It's in-between a 10 and a 15 as mentioned in the original post.

    Looks like a 7/64 is the only logical fraction there is. It's close to 2.5mm. A hair larger. I'll see if I can locate one.

    I've have this set that has a 3. I compared it to a 7/64 and to my naked eye they look similar if not the same. Your welcome to borrow. Or if you're around Harbor Freight I bought them there. Not much at all and handy to have around.
