You only need to engage two full threads to get the maximum strength from a screw

Wow!!!

How many things that you have absolutely no clue about are you willing to post on???

Two full threads of a screw maximizes the strength? On what metals; both fasteners and parts, are you talking about?

Two threads? Where did that number come from as NO manual of Engineering or Materials I have seen uses that number??? For ANY material or fastener???

Assuming steel fastener as a scope mount was in question but you fail to mention what shear forces are versus fastener strengths... but obviously you really do not have a clue what the argument is that you entered, do you?


Just as a side note, with A/C fasteners in the USAF, we are required the fastener have 2 threads protruding through the nut/nutplate/threaded hardpoint. Not 2 threads into, but through... Not that it is really all that related to this discussion, but an observation.
