Ruger 77 tang safety parts?
- Thread starter Buster95
- Start date
There are some parts that can be used on the tang-safety M77, but not all. The big difference is the depth, through the magazine box area, was decreased by about 1/4" on the M77 MkII and Hawkeye.
Here's a start on the info:
Screws - the stock bedding screws are 1/4" too short. But they are the same types. If you need a new screw, and you have M77 MkII, take that screw to Ace, Home Depot, or Lowes and ask for one 1/4" longer.
Magazine box - no luck with compatibility here. And they're hard to find!
Bolt body - no. But, some parts such as spring can be used.
Barrels - fully compatible. This also includes sights.
Stocks - no. But there are some aftermarket stocks available.
Scope rings, bolt stop, and other parts are generally usable.
Numrich is a source for replacement parts, but they don't always have the parts in stock.
Hope this helps,
Ted
