Garand front sight screw size

Exactly what the title says - I need to know what size the screw is. Missing mine, and trying to take a coworker out to the range before his upcoming retirement.

Bring the front sight with you to make sure the screw fits.
The head might need to be filed down a bit. The screws at my local store the heads are always a bit larger.
