I have a 30-30 ranger looking for filler plugs where scope mounts were. Have been looking but no luck.
Thanks for any help. 1984 yr.

? Common as all get out. Any old universal sized 6-48 filler screw can be had wherever guns and gun parts are sold. If by some dumb reason the holes are 8-40, they're ubiquitous also.
Thanks, Did not know size. Will order now.

gnoahhh is correct about availability, but it is also true that some filler screws have a very small, thin head on them, while others do not. Depending on the rifle, some may look a bit nicer than others. Also, be sure that the screws do not go so far into the hole that they protrude out the other side and interfere with the action.

Winchester used positive stop 6-48 plugs.

Meaning the ones with the small heads, correct? Do you believe they used those on a 1984 Ranger (less expensive model?)

Yes, with the “small heads”. Not certain about that specific model, but they were used on post64 guns.
Thanks, to all found a Pachmayr box of all sizes on Amazon will have Sat. Always changing scopes or taking one off just first Winchester 30-30. Just did not need scope on this one short range white tail with grandson this fall here in Indiana. Nice to have somewhere to go with a lot of helpful people that are willing to help.

Thanks to all, Fred

There are some incredibly knowledgeable gentlemen here. There are a few incredible pricks too, but that's life.

I'll suggest you consider a receiver sight for that M94.
Will look at one.

Thanks

Consider the Williams Fool Proof.

Might find it cheaper if you shop around. Make sure your rifle is drilled and tapped for it. Two screws, about 1/2 " apart, rear upper of left side of receiver.
