I know first hand if you contact ruger and explain the situation they will help you. The entire rifle will more than likely need to be shipped to ruger. The LGS here locally bought a stainless 270 without the bolt for cheap. Ruger would not ship a bolt for our gunsmith to install. After the rifle arrived the shop there contacted this shop to go over everything then work commenced. I believe there may have been an upgrade to the safety but my memory isn't the best. I'm thinking the total cost was in the $500 range. Give this a try at least. Hope this helps.
