This is Ruger's new/replacement action screw and uses a 5/32" hex key as opposed to the older slotted screw. This screw has the same length as the original slotted Ruger screws, fitting my rifle perfectly and reducing chances of cam-out with a flat screwdriver. Volquartsen sells a hex screw but it's about 3 threads shorter, risking stripping the threads in your soft metal receiver.
