After some parts for a build Ruger 77 mkii

I just received my donor action, a Ruger 77mkii for a 7.62x39 build. (Mainly due to the fact the 7.62x39 is very thin on the ground in the m77). However, I will need a stock, stock bolts, trigger guard, floor plate, and all the magazine and gizzards.
The donor barrel is 308, so the selection of projectiles should be a bit better.
The plan is to get TSE to rebarrel it, and slip it into a Boyd's forest camo or surplus Ruger stock. I am yet to locate bottom metal, magazine or trigger guard in Australia, so midway or PTG are the likely supplier. Unless someone knows of a secret stash?

Any ideas? Suggestions?

I just picked up the bottom metal, trigger guard and mag, just after stock bolts and stock now.

Good to hear that the bits are coming together, What thread are the bolts for the stock, would 98 Mauser have the same thread and length, I may have a couple in the shed.

That I do not know. I was going to head down to my local Nut N Bolt place, they are all shooters, and have it sized up when they re open.

1/4 UNF for the action main screws.

All the action screws sorted, al for the princely sum of $2...

Just go to source a 7.62x39/284Win mag well. Otherwise I am done!
