M77 stock

[jtwopans]

I have a M77 308 WIN serial no. 71-54xxx. It has a heavy (BULL) barrel. The stock is broken in two at the trigger, glued back together. I would like to replace it. Does any one have one? The gun is in great shape if not for the stock.

jtwopans, is your M77 a tang safety or a MKII?

 

[jtwopans]

I don't know the difference. The safty is behind bolt, activated by thumb, two position . I just got gun from my father. New to Rugers

That is a M77, several companies make replacement stocks and if you place a Want to buy ad here you might find one, or you can try on Gunbroker or Auction Arms.

It's a tang safety.

Have you called Ruger about getting it re-stocked? They will also ensure it is working properly at the same time.

There are usually some stocks on eBay, Gunbroker and the other sites. Because it is the heavy barrel, it will be a little bit harder to find a stock for.
