I need some tiny O-rings for my grip screws.
My Para came with them, but I want some for my other pistols
where can I buy them?
Thanks

Hardware store, Lowes, or Home depot. That's where I got mine. I bought a doz a couple of years ago and still have some.

Thanks Baldy.
I tried but couldn't find any near small enough.
Closest i came to finding usable ones was at Fastenall .
but those are still quite a bit larger than the ones that came with my Para.
and a tad large for my likes

Plumbing dept at Lowes ... probably others such as Home Depot, Ace, etc.

You'll need the #60 "O" Ring....I bought mine in the plumbing dept. at Lowe's.
Any good hardware or home improvement store carries them. :)

Hey Cap,
how well do o-rings pervent the screws from coming loose? I don't like to overtighten the screws and sometimes my grip screws work themselves free. This might be the perfect solution.

they work great, Alien
No need to crank down hard on the screw with the O-rings.
Just snug.
I've never had one back out on my Para, but have on my other non-O-ringed screws
Thanks BP Guy, I'll look for the #60 at Lowes.

I just got back from Lowes with the #60 o-rings and installed them in my 45. The screws seem much more secure now. Thanks for the tip!
