[QUOTE="SHOTGUN12, post: 3329335, member: 966"] Been there .... done that. I have a good strong magnet that comes in handy for recovering these types of insanely small lost components. Someone at Uberti (or wherever), should be beaten severely about the head and shoulders for using screws or springs this small, when not necessary. As for installing that screw, I have a Uberti .45 and have been down that road also. Maybe not the perfect approach .... but I apply a small drop of super-glue to the head of the screw then attach it to the tip of the screwdriver. This enables the screw to be held securely enough to get it threaded into its hole. I’ve had to do this several times and works fine. Next time you remove this screw, use a small knife tip or razor blade to clean out any glue remaining in the slot of the screw head. [/QUOTE]
