The Perfect Fit: N4 Screw Size For Precise Fastening

The N4 screw size is a standard screw size. Screw sizes are labelled according to the imperial system in the US and the metric system in most other countries. The imperial system uses a gauge figure to refer to the diameter of the screw, with larger numbers indicating larger diameters. The metric system, on the other hand, uses the diameter in millimetres.

N4 screw size for Noveske rifle platforms

Noveske Rifleworks offers a range of rifles and rifle parts, including the N4 rifle platform and the NSR 4th Generation Handguard-N4. The N4 rifle platform includes various models, such as the N4 Ghetto Blaster 7.94", the N4 Micro-Switchblock Shorty 10.5", and the N4 OG 6MM ARC 12.5". These rifles are priced between $3,150 and $3,425.

The NSR 4th Generation Handguard-N4 is a free-floating handguard that features a lightweight and robust design. It is made of hard coat anodized 6005-T5 aluminum and includes a 1913 top rail and M-LOK mounting positions every 45 degrees. The handguard comes with mounting screws, a T25 wrench, and instructions. It is available in various lengths, including 7", 9.75", 10.75", 13.5", and 15".

Noveske Rifleworks also offers replacement screws and a wrench for the NSR handguard. The replacement screw set includes six Torx head cap screws and a 1-T25 long-arm Torx wrench. It is important to note that this screw set is only compatible with the N4 platform and not the N6.

In addition to the N4 screw size, Noveske Rifleworks utilizes other screw sizes in their products. For example, the NSR 4th Generation Handguard-N4 mentioned earlier includes mounting screws, but their specific sizes are not provided. It is recommended to refer to the product's instructions or contact Noveske Rifleworks directly for clarification on screw sizes and compatibility.

N4 screw size in metric

The "M" in screw sizes stands for "metric", and the number that follows it is the diameter of the screw in millimetres. So, an M4 screw has a diameter of 4mm.

Metric screws are listed by the diameter of the screw thread in millimetres, followed by the length of the screw, also in millimetres. For example, a 4.5 x 40mm screw has a thread diameter (including teeth) of 4.5mm, and a length of 40mm.

The metric system is simpler to understand than the imperial system, which uses a "gauge" figure to refer to the diameter. The larger the gauge number, the larger the diameter. A number 4 screw is much smaller than a number 12 screw.

It's worth noting that there is no direct link between the head size of an imperial screw and the gauge of that screw. However, as a handy coincidence, the gauge is roughly equal to the screw head size in millimetres. So, a 4-gauge screw will have a head that is approximately 4mm wide.

When measuring the length of a screw, it's important to consider the depth of the material that the screw needs to penetrate. If a screw is too long, it can protrude through the material and cause injury.

N4 screw size in imperial

The "M" in screw sizes such as "M4" stands for "metric", and indicates that the number following it is the diameter of the screw in millimetres. Therefore, an M4 screw has a diameter of 4 millimetres. This is a metric system, and there is no direct conversion to imperial. However, M4 x 60 is approximately equal to #8 x 2 1/2 in imperial.

In imperial, a wood screw is sized by two different numbers. The first is the gauge of the screw, which refers to the diameter. The larger the number, the larger the diameter. A number 4 screw is much smaller than a number 12 screw. It's worth noting that there is no direct link between the head size of an imperial screw and the gauge of that screw. The length is given next, and it should be remembered that the length given for a screw is the length that is buried in the wood or other material, and does not include the head of a raised or domed-headed screw.

N4 screw size compared to other sizes

An N4 screw size is a metric screw size. The "M" in metric screw sizes stands for "metric", and the number following the M indicates the diameter of the screw in millimetres. Therefore, an N4 screw has a diameter of 4 millimetres.

Metric screw sizes are typically listed as the diameter of the screw thread in millimetres, followed by the length of the screw, also in millimetres. For example, a 4.5 x 40mm screw has a thread diameter (including teeth) of 4.5mm, and a length of 40mm. The length of a screw is measured from the head of the screw to the tip. If the screw has a flat head, the length is measured from the top of the head. If the screw has a round head, the length is measured from under the head.

Metric screw sizes are sometimes also listed as "M" followed by a number. For example, an M4 screw has a diameter of 4mm. This is equivalent to an N4 screw.

In comparison, imperial screw sizes are usually listed as the gauge by the length. The length of the screw is given in inches, while the gauge represents the diameter of the thread of the screw. A number 4 screw is much smaller than a number 12 screw. The gauge of an imperial screw is not directly linked to the head size of the screw. However, it is worth noting that for screw gauges 6 and above, the gauge is close to twice the head diameter.

Materials

Lengths

The length of N4 self-tapping screws varies and is measured in metric or imperial units. Common lengths include 6.35mm, 9.5mm, 12.7mm, and 0.25" or 1/4" (which is equivalent to 6.35mm).
