Ruger Hunter Super Blackhawk Stainless Steel - Ejector Rod Housing Screw sheered off.

Pictures need to be uploaded to a site like IMGUR first then linked in.

I sort of assumed you were hitting the wrong key when you typed "stut" I was just reading it as stud which is still a strange term for the part of the screw that was left in the hole after it broke off. It sort of made sense as a stud in my mind as far as fasteners are concerenced is a threaded cylinder that is treaded into a tapped hole and then protrudes out so an item can be secured to it with a nut.

But in your last post I'm not really following the "stut" part even though I understand the general jist of what you are relating.....

You are correct this Screw is called called Stud.
I don't have my Caliper handy so I am guessing now. The threaded part of the Stud is about 4mm long all told of which only about 3mm thread into the Barrel. The OD of the Thread is about 4mm. The other end of the Stud with the slot for the Screwdriver is about 8mm long and 6mm wide. That is the side the Ejector Rod bangs against at every Shot and is quite noticeable especially locking at it with a Magnifying Glass.

Once I have this IMGUR figured out (I hope I am able to) I post Pictures.

Thanks

paste and copy the link to the image in between, sometimes you have to untick a box here on cgn where it wants to store some of the info on this site and you need to be premium member to do it but otherwise it should work.

Look at this kind of Gunshop Service/Business which I really don't want to deal with but unfortunately don't had a Choice.

Ordered 2 Screws and paid for them via EMT (Cdn.$ 30.45) on August 19. 2021. The Screws with Tax are 13.45 Which includes Tax.
Shipping and handling from Montreal was extra at 17.00
That Business did not accepted my EMT Payment until 2 days ago.
No Communication whatsoever.
Screws are for a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter Revolver where the Ejector Housing Stud (Screw) sheered off.
Screws have still not arrived to this Day, nor did I receive a Tracking #.

The Business calls itself "Location Snap Shots inc." located in Montreal Quebec and is the Repair Facility for Ruger Firearms in Canada.

Darn it, I like Ruger Revolvers and thinking buying another one but this kind of Service sucks.

Waiiiiiiiiit-----------Huuuuuuuuuuuuh
Mail just arrived with the Screws--------------Haleluya, what could go wrong now ?

Cheers

Well the Screw fits and the Housing is back on. Have not used any Locktite but inserted a small Leather disk which will prevent the Ejector Rod hitting the Screw (Stud) sharply. Perhaps that will solve the Problem, hopefully will find out for sure on the shooting Range.

Looking at the Envelope the Screws came in, It shows a wrong House number but a correct Postal Code. On the Invoice is my correct address printed. Yep, that is how it goes nowadays in Canada.

Thanks to all for there input and suggestions. It is Websites like this and all our comments which keep our Suppliers on there Toes. Businesses pay attention what is said here, don't be shy rocking the Boat just be fair. Unfortunately 40 years of Liberal indoctrination caused to many Canadians to be way to laid Back. On the other hand there are many good Businesses which "stand behind" there product and I mean right behind you willing to be fair, make things right and not be a mile or two behind and trying to Scalp you.

Thank's

Don't be afraid of a little blue Loctite on the threads... and position everything as far forward on the barrel as it will go when tightening the screw...

Bracing the screw against any possible movement caused by recoil makes good sense, just like when placing rings on a rail.
