Forgive my ignorance, but 8-40 fillers? Is "fillers" a thread type, or does that just mean an 8-40 filler screw?

Also, are the screws on top of the receiver for the Hepburn sight the same? A receiver I'm working on had them filled with lead. I melted most of it out, but need to chase the threads.

Thanks, Mike

These screw have no head, just a threaded shaft with a screwdriver slot in the end.

Mike,
The screws for the Hepburn site holes are the same.
