The mauser 98k pattern of rifles used capture screws with moon cuts, and they're pretty effective at retaining screws as the recoil would cause regular screws to back out during firing, however a lot got lost over time and they've been difficult to replace for many folks.
I love the design and ingenuity, so I'm wondering why they didn't catch on?
Too difficult to manufacture? Loctite sealed it's fate?
