Title: RAW Hm1000 pellet probe Screw Size.
Post by: Vard on December 04, 2023, 10:24:40 AM
Hello All,
On the pellet probe there appears to be a grub screw which locks the probe outer into position once adjusted.
However on my rifle it appears to be missing (pic attached).
Can you please advise size so that I can source replacement ?
Thanks in advance,
Vard

what size allen key- metric or imperial?
Could be M3...or 4ba
Have a feeling that the old BA threads will have been superseded by now although RAW were still using 2BA for the bolt/probe adjustment grub 3-4 years ago

The screw is missing so I don't know the size. However , there are 2 others grubscrews that look to be similar either side of the probe.

Having removed and measured the grub screw either side of the probe(seems to be M3 ??)the inner one is smaller.
I've ordered a selection of smaller metric grubscrews and hopefully
1.) it's metric
B.) I've ordered enough variety.

Probably imperial on a Raw

Yep, seems to be imperial. Around M2 size . An M2 grub will engage and seems very near actual size .
Without digging my Zeus out what's it likely to be?

Anywhere near the same size as the valve retaining bolt? If not, try emailing RAW.

8ba 3/32 not 100% I used m2.5 die and m2.5x2.5 originals very small and not good to get positive tightness

Nope smaller than the valve screw.

I've emailed RAW and had no response.
I was considering  maybe in the future a HM1000x but they can swivel now .

Update : I ended up tapping out to metric . All good . The only thing is you have to make sure that the grub length is short enough not to stop it going back into the outer .And is also clear of the other grub screws .
Note : the new type RAWs just use threadlock
