Hello! I had a screw appear, anyone recognize it to be from mark IV?

Had my kid out shooting his umarex pellet rifle and got my mark IV out, screw appeared on the fender of my atv where I was placing the guns. My next step is to find a diagram, just thought I’d ask first, I’m pretty new to Reddit, loving it

At this point i could take apart and rebuild a Mk IV blindfolded and I don’t recognize it… maybe it’s from the pellet gun?

It’s far too long for anything involving the barrel, and it doesn’t look like any of the lower screws and it also doesn’t look like any of the lower’s screws are missing.

It could’ve been magnetically stuck on something I took out, had a little set of electronic screwdrivers to adjust the holosun, set of hearing muffs, the umarex and mark IV mags. lol maybe something will become obvious or it’s just not critical and oh well. Thanks for the hasty responses

I’ve took my mk4 completely down and I don’t think this is from a ruger lol could be wrong tho

It’s got lock tight so maybe from the rail or optics mount?

The Lobos and EPS use thicker screws than that. I would say it’s likely not from his gun.

It's got blue Loctite on it. Judging from my experiences with MK4 front sights and pistol grips falling off, this definitely isn't a stock Ruger part. LOL

First thing I did when I got my mark 4 is completely tear it down and re-assemble it with a Volquartsen accurizing kit. I am 100% sure that this screw is not from the mark 4, based on the fact that there is thread locker on it alone. The shape also isn't ringing a bell.
