I have located a number of variously sized “studs” which I believe are most likely AGS parts.
The studs look like item 1 in this advertisement.
Could someone please advise what the name of this part is, and what AGS numbers or any other standards may apply to them are?

Just to clarify myself. AGS, is Aircraft General Standards which covers BRITISH Aircraft Parts. There was nothing in the advert to suggest the stud shown was American AN, MS or NAS.
AGS = Aircraft General Spares

It is a bit like Hoover is to carpet sweepers, it has become a generic term for all nuts, bolts, screws etc..

I have discovered more about the history of the studs. It appears that they may have been purchased at auction from the USAAF after the war. They have Unified threads so it looks like they could be made to an AN standard.
Will comfirm once I have had a chance to measure them.

there are lots in the old AGS volumes we have, is this close?

More likely to be engine parts I reckon.

It’s a Stepped Stud and it doesn’t look like any of the AGS components I’ve ever encountered. It looks more like Special Manufacture.
Get yourself a copy of AP1086 or the microfiche version FAP1086
You’ll find Studs under section 28 which also covers Aircraft Fasteners (if my addled memory serves me)
