Thanks for the tip Boggus Deal, I dropped him a PM. -
I own a stock unmolested Miroku 1873 in 44-40. I put a washer and also tried a piece of leather under the hammer spring to lighten the pull. I obtained action springs and lightened them. I also had a large Cal C&I Aluminum carrier which I installed and a lightened safety bar spring with extended firing pin from SlixSpring. All of this and not much help with the tuning. I pined for a short stroke kit but since PGW stopped making them it was a no go. Call a gunsmith was the advice. I found the SGBGW Miroku Kit as Larsen showed in the picture. I now own a slicked rifle that will compete against any of my Uberti's. I told Shotgun Boggie that I was skeptical of the price when I purchased but where do you go? After I installed the kit, I shot him an email stating "It was worth every penny!" Also, just pull the screw from the firing pin safety and remove the extension. Put everything back as it was and slide in the new extension. Works like a charm. Should you ever want to convert it back to original specs Easy Peasey. The safety bar spring is a little difficult but manageable. I believe you will be amazed. Hawk

Apparently Winchester is not interested in servicing what they sell nor are they very friendly. I love my Miroku 1873 and with Shotgun Boggie's new upgrade kit it works fantastic. There is no need to short stroke this rifle but I am a stickler for keeping spare parts on the shelf that might eventually fail. I have purchased action springs from Winchester in the past which are the only part they will let go of.

Looking for spare parts for this rifle.

Pioneer coil main spring conversion kit
Hawk Eyes Hudson replied to oak creek martin's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
Oak, I am not trying to rob anybody. I have looked at the web site and the spring looks good but what I read is a lot of shooters are going back to the lightened old leaf or flat main springs instead of these new coil springs. I would offer $120.00 for the new one as I would like to try one out. Just PM me if that works and I will include the !0.00 shipping for a total of $130.00. Hawk -
Hey Garrison Joe,
Saw a few post on the Happy Trails hammer spring where you were included. I might be in the market for one of his springs and would like to hear more on a review by you. PM me when you can.
Thanks,
Hawk

Hey Texas Jack Daniels,
Hawk Eyes Hudson here! Are you teaching RO classes @ Comancheros in April. I was just wondering if you will be offering any in the near future at Thunder River. If so I would like to sign up. I am signed up with the club but I need to come shoot and join soon. I am getting geared up for Trailhead at THSS and after that I am ready to venture out to other clubs.
Thanks,
Hawk

Looking for information on Uberti 1873 rifle. The safety lever spring pin on my Uberti 1873 357 Mag rifle has dimples on each side of the tang to obstruct the removal of the pin. I have tried to punch the pin out and it resulted a bend punch. Hm! As you know this is a small pin on my new gun, just looking for some ideas that will do the least damage to the tang. I guess I could drill some but I really hate doing anything to my new 73 that is not necessary. I cannot believe that Pressure from sources compelled Uberti to do this to restrict removal of that lever spring. If a cowboy wants to replace the damn spring or add a lighter spring he or she will find a damn way to do it. Just marks up the gun, although only you and your gunsmith will ever know. Hey, I do my own work so I guess that leaves the gunsmith out! I did just bend the spring to lighten it up. Anyways help and ideas appreciated.

Hey Willie Goodnews,
Turkey flats said you might have a Bisley Grip Frame laying around. Let me know if you do. I have a stainless I will trade or will purchase steel one outright.
-
I will take them both.
Thank You!

Hey Rootin Tootin,
I just got the Grip Frames and the panel's in the mail. They are outstanding!!!! The Panels and Grips may never leave my possession. I purchased a Case Hardened 357 Vaquero today and can't wait to get the Bisley parts on the gun when it arrives. I am overwhelmed! I may even look for a stainless Ruger and keep the stainless frame. Won't that look different at a match. Thanks! A Cowboy Friend For Life!
Happy Trails,
Hawk Eyes Hudson
