394 is a 3/16 or 1/4" standard cap screw..

Pull one of the others and match it at the hardware store or bolt supply house of your choice.

Now I know I'm tired, that should have been the first thing I thought of, lol.

I think they're 1/4 x 1". Get them anywhere

I use stainless steel Allen head cap screws from the local hardware store.

If you use stainless in Mag... use an anti-seeze as it could easily gall. Stainless isn't always the best choice due to the properties but if it works for you use it. I doubt these cylinders are anywherr near snapping the four corner bolts.

The stock screws on the 394 are threaded all the way to the head and that creates a stress riser. The 395's appear to use two different screws for the front and back of the cylinder with the rear screws having a shoulder. I have no idea why the screws are different on the 395 but it was a rear screw that broke on my 394. You can bet all the new screws will have a shoulder and probably a washer as well if I can find one that will fit properly.
