Before I buy new rings can you help me identify manufacturer or where I can get the proper screw.
Thank you

Dre,
Those are most likely 8-40 screws. Another option is to go to Brownells website and buy an 8-40 tap and die (may be available other places too), to clean up the threads of the screw and screw hole. They ain't cheap, but can come in very handy for just these kind of situations.
