Need 3 pos safety for a Ruger tang safety M77.
Anyone have a source for a Ruger tang safety to add a 3 position safety?

uwaveYep.
Ed Lapour makes one.
3-position Ruger M77 tang safety
http://www.edlapourgunsmithing.com/
Now this project is getting expensive!
I had Dale Storey and another Casper gunsmith build me a 375 Ruger on my tang safety Ruger and I am still working out the kinks. The biggest one is that the tang safety doesn't work with the thumbhole stock we are using. So in order to increase safety I'll install this safety, and use my big 375 Ruger to kill some African stuff.

jeffeossocheaper to sell the tang safety rifle and get a mkII ..
ed makes a great product, but DANG
besides, all tang safety 77s are PUSH FEED only -- unless highly modified

buckeyeshooterWhy in the world would you take the best designed safety ever produced on an american gun and replace it with a POS 3 position safety. Sell that gun to someone who appreciates perfection and get a mark II.

I had forgot that stupid people were still allowed on here.
For the rest of the class. The new stock interferes with the tang safety working. I might end up with a McMillan Sako 75 stock for it. It is supposed to work.

Don SlaterI have a LaPour safety on my short action
Ruger. Dennis Olson also removed the tang
while he was at it. Put in a new sear from Brownells too.
Great trigger pull and a great safety!

There isn't a Ruger trigger or safety that is even in the same league!
