Default Need some itty bitty machine screws

When I have a slotted gun screw with a burr in the slot, I put the screw
in an aluminum jaw vise, then use a narrow flat face punch and a small
brass hammer to tap the metal back into place. This gives a stronger and
better looking slot. A touch of cold blue and its good to go.
