How to Disassemble a Ruger M77 Bolt?

Assuming you would like a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to disassemble a Ruger M77 bolt:

First and foremost, always make sure your gun is unloaded before attempting to disassemble it! For the Ruger M77, this means making sure the magazine is removed and there is no round in the chamber. You can do this by visually inspecting the chamber and/or cycle the action to ensure the chamber is empty. Once you have verified the gun is unloaded, you can proceed with disassembly.

1) Remove the bolt stop (located on the right side of the receiver) by depressing the bolt stop spring detent (located inside the receiver above the trigger guard) and swinging the bolt stop out to the right.

2) Remove the bolt by pulling it to the rear and then lifting it out of the receiver.

3) Once the bolt is removed, you can access the firing pin by pushing on the firing pin retainer (located at the back of the bolt) and then sliding the firing pin out of the bolt.

4) To remove the extractor, first remove the extractor spring (located inside the bolt just above the firing pin) by depressing the extractor spring detent (located on the left side of the bolt) and then sliding the spring out. With the spring removed, the extractor can then be pulled out.

5) The last piece to remove is the bolt stop plunger assembly, which is located inside the bolt just above the extractor. To remove it, simply depressive the detent and pull the plunger assembly out.

And that's it! You have now successfully disassembled the Ruger M77 bolt.

The Ruger M77 is a bolt-action rifle produced by Sturm, Ruger & Company. It was introduced in 1968, and is still in production as of 2019. The M77 was designed by Ruger to be a stronger and improved version of the earlier Ruger Model 77, which was designed by Harry Sefried and Bill Ruger.

The M77 uses a Mauser-type action with a hinged floorplate and a detachable magazine. The original M77 was offered in a number of different calibers, including: .222 Remington, .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .44 Magnum.

The main difference between the M77 and the earlier Model 77 is the addition of a locking lug on the bolt, which engages a recess in the receiver. This was added to meet the requirements of the U.S. military, who were looking for a new service rifle to replace the M14.

To remove the bolt from the Ruger M77, first make sure the rifle is unloaded. Then, pull back on the bolt handle and rotate it clockwise until it stops. This will unlock the bolt from the receiver. Next, pull the bolt handle all the way back and then out of the receiver. The bolt can now be removed from the rifle.

It is important to know how to remove the magazine from the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle because this will allow you to clean and maintain your rifle properly. Additionally, if you ever need to replace the magazine, you will know how to do so. There are two methods for removing the magazine from the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle. The first method is to depressing the magazine release located on the left side of the receiver, just behind the magazine well. This will allow the magazine to fall free from the rifle. The second method is to remove the floor plate by depressing the release located on the underside of the floor plate. Once the floor plate is removed, the magazine can be removed from the rifle.

There are a few different ways to remove the stock from the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle, depending on what type of stock you have. If you have a standard factory stock, you will need to remove the forestock screw, located at the front of the stock just behind the muzzle, and the Rear Stock Screw, located at the rear of the stock just in front of the buttpad. Once these screws are removed, the stock can be pulled off of the receiver.

For stocks with a forend cap (such as aftermarket stocks or some older Ruger factory stocks), the procedure is slightly different. In this case, you will need to remove the Rear Stock Screw as before, but instead of removing the Forestock screw, you will need to remove the Forend Cap Screw, located at the very front of the stock under the muzzle. With the cap screw removed, the forend cap can be slid off of the stock, allowing the stock to be pulled off of the receiver.

Regardless of which type of stock you have, once the stock is off of the rifle, the next step is to remove the Bolt Stop Lever Pin, located on the left side of the receiver just above the magazine well. This can be done by driving out the pin from left to right with a punch. With the pin removed, the Bolt Stop Lever can then be rotated out of the way, allowing the bolt to be removed from the receiver.

Assuming you would like an answer to this question:

The trigger assembly on the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle can be removed by first removing the stock. With the stock removed, you will need to locate two screws that hold the trigger assembly in place. These screws are located on the left and right side of the trigger assembly. Once these screws are removed, the trigger assembly can be pulled out from the top of the rifle.

There are a few ways to remove the firing pin from the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle. The most common way is to use a hammer and punch to drive the firing pin out from the rear of the bolt. However, this can be dangerous because if the firing pin is not captured, it can fly out and hit someone. Another way is to use a drift punch to drive the firing pin out from the front of the bolt. This is the preferred method because it is much safer.

To remove the firing pin using a drift punch, start by removing the bolt from the rifle. Next, use a small punch to drive the firing pin retaining pin out of the bolt. Be careful not to lose the retaining pin! With the retaining pin removed, the firing pin can now be slid out of the bolt.

Ruger M77 bolt action rifles are among the most popular rifles on the market, and for good reason. They are reliable, rugged, and accurate. But like all firearms, they require occasional maintenance, and one of the most common maintenance tasks is removing the extractor from the bolt.

The Ruger M77 uses a Mauser-type bolt with a dual claw extractor. The rearward-facing claw on the right side of the bolt interacts with the rim of the cartridge case to extract it from the chamber, while the forward-facing claw on the left side of the bolt holds the cartridge case against the bolt face as the round is extracted.

To remove the extractor, begin by ensuring that the rifle is unloaded and the bolt is in the forward position. Then, using a small punch or Allen wrench, drive out the roll pin that retains the extractor in the bolt. Once the roll pin is removed, the extractor can be slid out of its groove in the bolt.

Be careful not to lose the small spring and plunger that are located under the extractor. These parts are required for the extractor to function properly.

Once the extractor is removed, cleaning and inspection can be performed. If the extractor is damaged or excessively worn, it should be replaced. Otherwise, simply clean the extractor and the groove in the bolt that it resides in, and lube with a quality gun oil before reinstalling.

Be sure to test the function of the extractor after reinstalling it to ensure that it is properly seated and functioning correctly. Failing to do so could result in a malfunction of the rifle when it is needed most.

Assuming you are referring to removing the telescopic sight from the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle:

To remove the scope from the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle, first ensure that the rifle is unloaded. Next, loosen the screws that attach the scope to the rifle, using a screwdriver. Once the screws are loosened, carefully remove the scope from the rifle.

Cleaning the Ruger M77 bolt action rifle is a simple and easy process that can be done in a few minutes. There are only a few things that you need in order to clean your rifle and they are a cleaning rod, a bore brush, a set of stock wrenches, and a can of gun oil. The first thing that you need to do is make sure that your rifle is unloaded and the safety is on. Next, you will need to remove the bolt from the rifle. To do this, you will need to use the stock wrenches that came with your rifle. Once the bolt is removed, you will need to brush the bore of your rifle with the bore brush. Be sure to go slowly and not to miss any spots. After you have brushed the bore, you will need to apply gun oil to a clean patch and run it through the bore. Once you have done this, you will need to reassemble your rifle and put the safety back on.
