It all started when I needed a take-down screw for my 10/22 projects and all I had was a couple of ugly ones that may be too far gone to restore The new ones are Allen/socket head and I don't think they look traditional So I bought some 1" long 12-24 Fillister head screws Problem is they are zinc plated so I soaked them in muriatic acid for a bit Then I wrapped the threads in tape and put it in my drill press, I turned down the head to fit into the factory stock escutcheon Then I turned down the top of the threads so it will stay trapped in the stock, like the factory screw, then a quick polish with sand paper Then I blued them At home in the stock

Nicely done
What's your setup for turning on the drill press? I've cobbled together tool holders and braces in the past to turn the odd thing but was always a bit nervous while using it
