PH Rifle forend screws are ¾", but if you want to do the spacer trick, 1" are needed, Brownell's carries 8-40x1" slot heads, but TC would be the best source for the standard screws, although Brownell's does carry torx head ¾" screws in their refill packs.

They're used to float the barrel, Davemuzz has posted about it, I used it on my .375" H&H barrel, first trip to the range got me ¾" 100yd groups.  ;)
