Stripped Strain Screw Hole - S&W Model 10

[kev74]

Mission accomplished!

I tapped the screw hole to 10-32. It was oversized enough that I didn't have to drill the hole bigger - the drill bit just slid through.

Next I made a screw to fit. It took me three tries to get it right. After I got it right and made sure it was good, I gave it a little ghetto blue and put it together.
