Am I to assume Ruger no longer offers the steel ejector housing through any parts houses?
I admit to having the memory of a Gnat. Small, flighty Gnat. Ergo, I don't remember Ruger ever offering a Steel Ejector Housing. I do remember Steel (Blue and Stainless) being offered by the Cottage After-Market. I think. Sort of. Maybe. Brownells.
see if this link works for the steel ejector rod housing:

I don't know if it's steel or aluminum, but you can try this and ask the seller

I remembered that I had a take off ss housing from my 2.5 in sheriffs model build so I switched them out. Now I?ve got to blue it or paint it. [At least it?s not [aluminum]. If I heated it with a propane torch would it darken?
Oh for Pete's Sake Biltmore!!! :o No, it won't darken much if at all but you may well warp it or even melt a spot or two. Is there something wrong with a shiny Ejector Housing?? Might be some neat contrast. I'd like it ;D
Sorry to confuse, I was wondering about darkening the s/s housing. So you?re saying that I should swap cylinders and build a pinto Ruger? How about 2 pintos? A testament to Rugers QC they swapped and work perfectly.
My Dear Ed -

Soooo.... the only safe and sane way to change the color of your stainless ejector housing would be one of the amazing new
paint products like the bake-on gun coatings.
but instead, your pair of pintos is actually stylish and fashionable! I like them! especially the little shortbarrel birdhead...

:D Hubba Hubba Ding Ding. :D
He likes it!! He likes it!! That pair of Pinto be superb. Must compliment the Perfesser on his eloquent descriptive embellishment of the situation.
XMassy salutations Perfesser!! You observation be "Spot On"
Got two more hammers swapped out. My ?pintos? now have wide spur hammers. One more to go then I?ll take a tintype or two as the Professor would say.
Coffinmaker, you scoundrel! Now I am looking at my mismatched Vaqueros and thing of pintoing [is that a new word?] them like you said!
My Dear Deacon -
yessir, "pinto-ing" is the term. Or two-tone.
In fact, the style was established with the Colt Walker, blued barrel, case frame, and "in the white" cylinder.
quite stylish!
