Are there differences in the aluminum ejector rod housings on .357 Blackhawks? I have and old model with a messed up housing and need to know what to look for.

Unless your OM is a FT,, and an early one,, no difference. If your 357 has the protected ears,, then a NM one will work.
There are some mounting screw hole size differences in some of them as well. Make sure you get the correct one there.

Like contender posted:
If your barrel has a stud for the ejector housing with a 1/4" screw hole. The screw is a 1/4" cap screw with 6 x 40 thread.
If your barrel has no stud, you need a housing with the .220" hole and a .217" capscrew with 8 x 36 thread.
You can get either housing made in steel or alum alloy. And old or new model makes no difference.

Ruger will send you one. I have several sent free. Do Not give an Old Model serial number, unless it’s been converted. I tried to order grips for an OM Super Blackhawk. Since it was stock, Ruger refused. Seconds later I read off a New Model number, then operator was cool with transaction.
