Well anything is possible but not probable in this case. I am very percise in most things to include asking a detailed question.Mark it sounds as if he may be referring to the old original M77 that came with a two position tang safety.
The problems referred to on this thread are unique to the three position safety on the M77 Mark II and M77 Hawkeye rifles.
From the other forum where I ask Jim WIsner the question.
Hi James,
Do you or anyone you know of make a M70-type safety for the Ruger M77?
A professional hunter in Africa asked the question after bumping his safety which jammed his M77 action
during a dangerous game shoot.

Below is a Jim Wisner 3-position M70-type safety for a M98 Mauser. He make the 3-position safeties with shrouds for several different type actions.
