Found it under the bench while looking for a .45 acp case I dropped. Cylinder lock plunger for a Ruger...?

It fell out of a quadrajet carb.

When working in a auto shop there were always parts left over. Just so there weren't too many it was ok.

It's not a stock (unmodified) cylinder lock plunger from a Ruger.  They are quite a bit longer in relation to diameter.   Having the precise measurements might help.   Depending on size, it could be off the pawl mechanism from a NV.   Had you worked on one recently?

Oh yeah, pretty regularly. It just doesn't seem to be any gun part I'm familiar with...

 

.303" long

.187" diameter

My guess? Cylinder Latch Spring Plunger from NM Vaquero.  Gun will work almost as well without it, latch may be harder to operate and spring may wear out faster.  Very easy part to lose when juggling all the parts needed in alignment when attaching grip to frame.

 

Good luck, GJ

I thought that at first, but it's too large in diameter, like Dusty Devil Dale said above.

A friend who used to work (prior to robotics) for a major auto manufacturer said the same thing about auto assembly lines that moved along too fast for all of the bolts to be installed.  The employees there called it "stealing cars".
