the barrel is about 3/4" long, 3/16 o.d. diameter and internally threaded for the screw to go into it.

It looks like a threaded rivet...we use them on our tack for the horse, but should be available at most well stocked hardware stores.

Yep, that's a sex bolt.

You should be able to get them at the hardware store, grainger (as linked to above), McMaster Carr (as linked below), or a variety of other places.
