Overview
This machined steel ejector rod housing is intended as a replacement for the factory aluminum part on Ruger Blackhawk revolvers. It is offered in a high-lustre blued finish and is described as fitting Blackhawk models with 7 1/2", 5 1/2", and 4-5/8" barrels, with the 1/4" version specified for older guns with silver brazed studs. The added weight is noted as helping reduce muzzle flip, while the steel construction is presented as a more durable alternative to the original component. For hunters and revolver owners looking to maintain or restore a Blackhawk with a period-correct fit, it provides a straightforward upgrade path without changing the revolver’s overall character.
