Ruger's Warrenty

[SweetWilliam]

These grips are off of my SBH. My question is will Ruger replace with a new set of grips? The screw is pulling through the grip.

That's a common problem with heavy handed folks who think a grip screw needs to be TIGHT! A properly tightened screw won't do that, but as insurance, some custom stock makers include a spacer for inbetween the panels to prevent this problem.
Many of us around here add spacers to our stocks to help protect them from just such damage.
Next, that panel can be repaired.
Using a feather, with a little wood glue on it, you can work glue into the cracks. Next, place a piece of tape, (I use painters tape,) over the backside, then press the wood AND ferrule back in place. Clamp with a padded vise or squeeze clamps. Allow to set.

As for Ruger replacing it,, all you can do is call & ask.

Thanks for your response.
I've replaced the grips allready. I'm either going to send to Ruger or sell them to someone who wants to fix. What's a fair asking price?

May I suggest you go to the hardware store & look for some nylon 1/2" spacers? Then gently sand a few thousands off one & install it inbetween the new stocks. If it's loose,, remove & sand a few more thousands off. When assembled, the stocks should be snug, but not able to overtighten the screw.
I may be interested in the stocks,, PM me.

I decided last night I'm sending them back to Ruger. I figure they'll either send me a new pair or send me my old ones back. Either way I'll have a good set of grips to sell or a bad set of grips to sell.

Update Ruger sent me a new set of grips.
