UTG 500 rail w/ 930 waterfowl

[4n2t0]

The screws that came with the UTG rail are too long for the front holes of my 930 waterfowl. Has anyone had success sourcing screws of the appropriate length?

When I had that issue (but not a UTG rail), I put them in a screw gauge to protect the threads and used a Dremel to grind off the excess length.

Simple yet perfect solution. Thanks.

I was worried about ruining the threads but now that I know it can be done...

A screw gauge (or even a properly sized nut) will help protect the threads. Even if they get boogered up a little, they will straighten right up when you unscrew from the gauge or nut.
