WTB Ruger Take Off Barrel For Tang Safety Model... Please He
« on: January 03, 2006, 06:16:12 PM »
Okay, time for me to ask for help...

A friend just sent me a perfectly great early Ruger (tang safety, around 1973) M-77 short action.

Originally it was saddled with a shot-out .220 Swift barrel.

I am now looking for a replacement barrel, a real Ruger take-off, in excellent condition.

Would really like a heavy .308 Winchester, but will settle for a standard .308 Winchester.

I have hit all the auction sites and parts houses and they have nothing.

Ruger will not sell me a barrel, even though I have an FFL and two vaults full of Rugers!

So...if you have one of these barrels, or know of someone who has one...PLEASE email me and give me the details.

If .308 is not available, let me know what you do have.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm kinda thinking a custom barrel might be your only option.

Are a few custom barrel makers that I can think of --off the top of my head.

Good Luck.
