Ruger 77 tang safety parts?

[Buster95]

I would like to know if parts from a 77 Mark II and a Hawkeye are compatible with the old 77 with a tang safety? The screws are all the same? If not where I can find parts for 77 with tang safety?

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

The firing pin and spring are both compatible?

Spring - yes, don't remember about the firing pin.

Hopefully someone will chime in with that info.
