This is for the record, since people google for answers and here it is! I ordered a new bolt stop assembly (Not "bolt block" as stated earlier) as part # KA-37.
That's the blued model stop, as I'm hoping the carbon steel will hold up better to the battering it takes.
My fix on the original stainless part lasted about 5 boxes. Interestingly, conversing with the parts department at Ruger, the fellow said they don't carry the stainless part anymore (Part# KAN-37) to which I replied "Well, that's fine, you can't see it anyway". He also chuckled when I suggested the carbon steel part might hold up better, "That's been an argument around here for a while" he said.

I bought two of them for a total of $8 (plus shipping). That should last a while.
