I need some help
« on: January 03, 2006, 06:13:24 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

Maybe one of the custom gunsmithing shops or even a rebarreling outfit. Some of those customers are just switching calibers and the old barrels are good. I heard that when Clarks moved their shop they sold 10/22 and Smith revolver barrrels for $5. True or not there may be a shop that does a lot of 77 work and just stacks the old barrels in a back room...
