Everybody else probably already knows about them, but I just found them. And so far, I'm digging them.
They are available in black and stainless.

Midway has them for $3.99/each

vs. the ebay price of $9.99/each.

Also available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Ruger-Receiver-Stock-Takedown-Screw/dp/B07NK8S7C3?th=1 but it is $24 + $3 shipping for 4.

I looked on McMaster-Carr, but could not find a good equivalent.

These would not be ideal for use with a torque wrench.  If you haven't already played around with torque settings on your takedown screws, you might be surprised by how much it affects the accuracy of your barrel: https://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=59676.0

Brave men fall with a battle cry
Tears fill the eyes of their loved ones, and their brothers in arms
And so it went for Joseph Warren
It should have been different, it could have been easy
His rank could've saved him, but a country unborn needs bravery
And it spread like wildfire

Would probably be okay with a FAT wrench with flat head bit installed?

"Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.�
― Hyman G. Rickover

I don't know - the head of that screw looks awfully wide and shallow... they are shoving a coin into it! 


Could the operator render an accurate reading with a Wheeler torque wrench?  Probably, with the right bit - yes! But it wouldn't be my first choice.  I'd go with the hex head.

I'm not sure I understand the novelty of this screw to begin with.  I am far more likely to have a hex wrench on my person than loose change.  I do have fingers, if we're resorting to that - but this screw is a solution seeking for a problem. Who doesn't have a set of hex wrenches/bits at the range with them?  I still love every American who has this screw! Because that American shoots 10/22's, and so do I O0

These are a cool idea for a tool-less takedown and may work well for some people but I am having a bad experience with a similar setup.

About a year ago I pillar bedded my 10/22 and used a large button head screw that protrudes below the stock similar to this. I thought it would be a great idea with the large contact area on the pillar. It turned out to be right where my palm rests when slung up and it is super annoying. Soon I am going to counterbore out my pillar and go back to a flush screw setup.
I don't always shoot AQT's, but when I do, I prefer iron sights.
