Does anyone have a pic of a NYLock screw? When were these discontinued by Ruger?

quote> If I remember correctly, before there was liquid Loctite, Ruger drilled a small hole and inserted a nylon plug. I remember on my various Super Blackhawks and Single-Sixes the grip frame screw had an exactly round nyloc insert. These screws now sell on ebay for $7.30 each. Presume they are using the much easier liquid applied to part or all of the thread. <end

Stuff a "chunk" of 20-40# nylon fishing line in the screw's bore then insert the screw. Torque per Factory Specs.

Trim the "tail" of nylon with a "lighter"....

You mentioned this not long after I came on board (the first time) in '03. I haven't forgotten! :wink:
