Need a little help on my .41 bisley accusport. Was shooting it the other day and the ejector rod housing went flying. I have never taken this off and I am the 2nd owner. Luckily I found everything. Does anybody know, since the threads appear to be in poor shape, what size helicoil to use for a hasty repair. Thanks

I'd just buy a new screw and Blue Loctite it.

Already did that, and it didn't work. I may run a bottoming tap in or enlarge it and get different size screw.

You could always return it to Ruger and let them repair it. Realize that they will probably replace the barrel.

Ok, I misunderstood that the Screw Threads were stripped. It's actually the tapped hole in the barrel?

I would target the barrel at 50 yards, preferably 100 yards. If it turns out to be a real tight shooter, I’d buy a Ruger MAXIMUM EJECTOR ASSEMBLY in stainless. For kids who weren’t yet born, ask Ruger Service in Newport NH for the Silhouette or Hunter ejector assembly. Then, have barrel drilled & tapped for the Maximum ejector. The loose screw may have done you a favor. David Bradshaw |

Bradshaw, thanks for the reply. This barrel is actually quite a shooter. It shoots many bullets exceptionally well, particularly nosler JHP and MBW HG#258 cast. It shoots 305 ssk cast decently. Eventually, I do want to have PACNOR make me a prefit barrel with a 16" twist and maybe even longer than the current 5.5". I am looking for a quick fix until I get a barrel ordered

Along, somewhat in the same vein as this topic...I have a Hunter Ejector Rod, Ejector Rod Housing, and Ejector Housing Screw. I want to install this assembly on my 7 1/2" Bisley barrel. But the screw will only screw in about 3/4 of a turn in an #8x32 threaded hole and will very loosely screw into a #10x32 hole until bottomed out. What am I missing? Is the screw thread (from Ruger) some kind of a special major/minor diameter? Gentlemen, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I just took a bottoming tap and ground the head a little more so I could catch a few more threads to clean up this screw hole. Can't remember if I used an 8-32 or 8-40. But, I cleaned it up a bit and used some red lock tight and tightened her down. Will cure for a few days and see what happens

David’s idea is a great solution.
