screws

I'm looking for an 8-40, about 1" long pan head screw for my T/C Encore rifle. Any suggestions?

I've poked around the net and although I come close, no cigar. My reason for needing them are that I bought a 1" diameter "full bull" barrel in 30.30 AI. The only forend that fits well is T/C's 12 gauge shotgun barrel forend - it's perfect. Unfortunately the screws that it comes with are of a different threading. And the forend screw holes are a bit different, using standard Encore rifle forend screws won't work well.

    I am a tinkerer...not a machinist. I am wondering about replacing some screws on a few of my guns that have either been chewed by improper blades...or are downright wrong.

    I don't know sizes. Brownell's has a guage that claims to start at a #1 (as if I would know what that is!!). My question is...is this a good buy or do you folks know of a better one. I will probably end up buying a large screw assortment but would like to at least be able to tell which ones to try.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I need a education on what the difference between 3, 4 and 5 screws means. Does it have something to do with the age of the revolver and where are the screws at? When I see a Smith & Wesson listed as a 5 screw, I can only count 3 or 4.
