Ruger singleshot hanger tension
porthos,
Here are a couple images that may help. The gap that exist between the barrel and the hanger varies from "just clearing" to "big" so the length of the screw you will need varies too. The one in the image is 1/2 inch I believe and this is a "big" gap. I have used as short as 1/4 inch. I now get long ones and grind to length and shape. Also, it is sometimes necessary to grind off the end of the hammer strut a little, if it rubs against the screw when cocking. Good luck with your project. If there is anything else I can do to help, let me know.
Richard
