I will see what I can find and post it here ... allow me a week or so. I have a good supply of the blanks to make the screw, but I will need to find someone who works with European shotguns or optics to cut the threads. The sideplate retaining screws on the earlier CZ27's are often missing or badly damaged because many people try to take them out through the face of the side plate. The sideplate screw is not threaded all the way in order to prevent its being removed in this manner. To remove the sideplate properly, first remove the slide and barrel. Once the slide is off, turn the sideplate retaining screw out until you meet resistance. Lift the sideplate up and out. (There is no need to actually remove the screw.) If the screw must be removed from the side plate, it can only be done after the sideplate has been removed from the pistol. With the sideplate free of the frame, turn the retaining screw IN until it drops out the back of the sideplate. If/when you get a new screw it must be put in through the back of the sideplate, not the front. I mention this so that you can check the threads on your sideplate and insure that they have not been damaged from improper disassembly. My best to all, Joe
