Need Help Finding Holster Hardware

[RawhideLeather]

Hey guys,

I have spent countless hours searching for the type of black screws and washers like they use on this Galco holster:

I even called Galco but they said "they wouldn't divulge that information". I guess it's some kind of trade secret or something???

I know you can buy the black oxide finish hardware but that will start to rust before long unless maybe it could be found with stainless. I would prefer black chrome or black/nickel if given a choice. The black Chicago Screws are available but don't have the look I want. Anyone know where I can find these in bulk (100's)? It's mostly the flat head or dome head screw I'm after as it looks like Ohio Travel Bag may have the washers. I prefer to use 8-32 screws if possible.

Thanks,

Richard

Send the link to OTB and see if they have them.

Thanks for the link. They have some good information on belts that I'd like to start making.

Hello Richard, Trade secret my :deadhorse: You can get even by outselling them! You're right Black Ox hardware will rust just by looking at it. Most of the new Black hardware is more rust-resistant. I buy all my machinist hardware from Travers tool company @ https://www.travers.com/Default.asp many people also go to McMaster-Carr @ http://www.mcmaster.com/ also MSC @ http://www1.mscdirect.com/cgi/nnsrhm?KNC-T7L391316886 I'm sure you can find the hardware you need thru one of them... Good luck!
