I've seen several for sale on an auction site. The threading it different on each one. The threading on the one on my new-to-me model 15 is threaded all the way down from tip to top. The others are only threaded part of the way and each down to a different point.

So, what are the differences? I assume small/medium frame and large frame screws are different? Are there longer and shorter screws? Are they all interchangable?

Questions, questions and more questions.

Original screws have a larger head which is smooth on the outside edge.  Also only partially threaded.  None of it matters as far as function goes.

Whether or not the threads go all the way really is important.  There are two different lengths (short / long) depending on the type of grip used.  I can't seem to find the thread with the actual lengths of each.  Below is a thread about where to get screws.

Yes, the same grip screws can be used in all the different frame sizes.
