manufacture one from a piece of steel tubing threaded 1/2"-20 tpi in one end & 1/2"-13 tpi in the other.
or
Find a 'smith that specializes in Ruger 77's as their firing pin shroud threads are 1/2"-20tpi.

Jim doesnt have any in stock.
I was thinking weld a couple of nuts on each end of a 7" long piece of angle iron.
What would be the easiest way to bore a 1/4" hole in the middle of a couple of 1/2" bolts?
I was thinking going 1/2 × 20 on each end but if i did 1/2 × 13 on one end it would also work on a Remington if i ever needed it.
With 700 actions I simply drop in a piece of tubing (aluminum arrow shaft) about .700" long, into the bolt body and then screw the firing pin assembly back into the body... forcing the firing pin back exposing the cocking piece retaining pin.
It's so much simpler than making a tool...
It is quite possible you can do the same with this Bordon action....

That's some pretty funny chit, that right there!
Finding a 'Smith at all is a chore and a half. Expecting to find one that specializes in Ruger 77's, is purest hopeful fantasy!
Maybe different around Fairbanks, eh? LOL!
The bottoming hole could be oversized for runout clearance & then insert a washer between the firing pin shoulder & push bolt.
Yes,make it w/ 1/2-20tpi nut on one end & 1/2-13tpi nut on the other end for interchangeability..
If a LH action/firing pin you will need a 1/2"-20tpi LH nut/cap screw.
Take a reference length measurement prior to dis-assembling.
Remove the double stacked set screws in the striker prior to dis-assembly.....depending on vintage.

You may be missing the point entirely.
When you have to drive 2 to 5 hours to get to a gunsmith at all, having any hopes of finding one that is specialized in Rugers, is unlikely.
Generalists are the rule around here. Anyone that tried to be a specialist is like to starve to death.
