There's always hose clamps... And zip ties

Sadly, I've seen hose clamps and J.B. Weld used before...

I've gotten conflicting results on the thread screw specs

Ruger shipped at least one .480 Bisley in the initial run that was literally glued together with red loctite. Everything had copious quantities of red loctite on them - the entire ejector housing was glued in place, all of the screws were glued in place, etc. There was a thread on the Ruger Forum about it. Ruger eventually replaced the gun for the owner, IIRC. Several other people reported that their ERHs were glued down with red loctite on both the .480s and .454s. Guess that's always an option. Or install a 'recoil-proof' ERH, like Bowen and others do.

Is heat shrink tubing not an option here?

But, as you say it's not out of the question for a temporary fix. None of us like the idea, but when you need to get a gun going...

My guns are 8-32 on that screw. That’s the ruger factory screw in it as well. I also have a new unfired takeoff from a 5.5” 41. Front sight may need replaced, looks crooked to me on the blade but could be my eyes. If you want it you can have it. Easiest fix is to find the longer stainless erh from say a 10.5” super. Then mark it and put the barrel in V blocks and drill/tap. Simple and done. But. If you want to try to see how this one fits and avoid it all, it’s an option.

Thank You Bigmuddy, 8-36 was the fit.
