Are all Ruger Bisley back frame screws the same size hex screw? What size? Were any of them Torx screws?
I swear that mine looks to be a Torx screw...
Is there a Ruger single action screwdriver set that has a the proper hex driver also?

The two socket head screws which secure the back of the Bisley grip frame take a hex key not found in many sets. The fine RCBS hex key set contains this vital size. Diameter across the flats measures about .108-inch. Ruger may be using Torx screws, as I received a Torx key in the box with a brand new Bisley Hunter, although the grip frame has hex heads. Bisleys I encounter take just the one size.

I have a set of hex head gunsmithing drivers from Brownell's, which includes the size of the hex screw on the rear of the Bisley. This driver works great for this application.

Never had a problem with finding an allen wrench for the Bisley frame screw in the standard set. Of course my "standard set" may be a bit more extensive than most. Do remember thinking that a ball end allen wrench might be more appropriate than a straight wrench.

Haven't called Ruger. In retrospect, the Torx driver included with Hunter series is for scope ring screws. Reckon the backstrap grip frame screws remain HEX.

I just took mine apart this evening. Used a hex from a regular set, nothing special, don't recall the size though.
