Ruger 77/50 - Manual (Page 30)

30
Never place or store any firearm in such a
manner that it may be dislodged. Firearms
should always be stored securely and
unloaded, away from children and careless
adults.
STORE SECURELY & UNLOADED
!
WARNING – STORAGE
The rifle’s internal mechanism can be lubricated without disassembly. A very few
drops of light oil recommended as suitable for firearms, applied periodically
about the various frame openings, will work its way into the mechanism parts.
The exterior of the rifle should be cleaned with a solvent and then wiped with an
oily cloth.
Do not keep a rifle in a leather, fabric or canvas case or scabbard when it is
stored. These materials attract moisture, even though they may appear to be dry.
12. Never store a loaded gun!

(Again, Be Sure Rifle Is Unloaded)
1. To replace the safety assembly:
a. Place the safety selector detent and safety selector detent spring into the
hole in the receiver.
b. Set the safety selector in place with its upper section positioned over the
center of the receiver tang.
