Dad's old Superblackhawk had the aluminum ejector rod housing rattling. Badly worn/rounded front (outside) and looked like crap.
This a 3 screw, so there's a stud soldered onto bbl and the ERH screw goes into it.
Got a new Borchardt Rifle Company steel shroud and put it on, looks way batter.
Shot maybe 10 rounds and noticed gap at front.
Loose, pulled on it and gap got larger.
Turns out the long head of the screw, made enough contact that it appeared the screw had pushed the ERH flush to bbl.
Stud is too tall for the shallow edge inside of the ERH.
Ive taken down the stud at least 1/3, and shortened the threaded end of the screw so it doesn't bottom out w shortened stud.
The gap is reduced when assembled, but w shroud off or on, the screw still stops clocked the same......so stud is still too tall.
I either have a mismachined ERH or the stud was way too long.
My concern is even w the stud shortened, the tall head of the screw now wont ride w outer edge of the ERH.
Why have such a tall screw head if its not supposed to.
Worst case I need another stud soldered in and a new screw.......and ejector rod housing.
Wonder who the Fire recommends do such work.
What should the stud be height wise (or amount of threads from screw)?
