I have two pietta 1873 great western II pistols that I want to put spring kits into. Wolff spring offers a wire spring and a flat spring for these kits. What are your recommendations? Should I go with wire or flat? Pros and cons? Thanks!

Howdy Shoot a renegade 45LC, have a leather wrap [ Mernickle ] on the stock, it's now a fairly regular thing to slip on my shoulder, tried different ways of getting it to stay put on my shoulder with no luck, it's a straight butt pad. Don't really want to change the pad, looking for any ideas that people may have ..thanks

Hi, I am new to this site so I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, if it is correction would be appreciated. I am looking to join SASS but am waiting until I have all the necessary guns, which brings me to my query: I have a 1873 Colt SAA clone produced by USFA, which I purchased (already used) because although it wasn’t what I wanted, I noticed the Hammer pull was exceedingly smooth and crisp, locking the hammer completely in place the moment you hear the 4th click and the cylinder has almost no play side to side when locked up, which was a little above average compared to others I handled, so I bought it. Like I said though, this is not the gun I’m interested in owning, especially given the high price a second would cost me! So I wanted to get a good idea of what it would be worth in a trade. The revolver I’m looking to trade looks to go for a little over $1,000 in auctions, and while mine is not brand new it only has very minor cosmetic blemishes, and has the matte black finish, it also will come with a black, left hand draw, leather holster. I’ll get into the specifics another day, but for now I just want to get a ballpark estimate of it’s worth. I would like to complete my gear with 1.) A model of 1873 lever action rifle in .357, 2.) A hammered double barrel shotgun in 12 gauge, and 3.) A pair of 1872 style revolvers with the open top in .38SPL. Would my revolver plus the holster be a fair trade for any of these?

Idle curiosity: does anybody have experience with the Uberti 1873 in 44 mag? The only downside I see right away is the 9+1 capacity, rather than a full 10 in the magazine tube. Winchester/Miroku made their Trails End Octagon in 44 mag, everything I wanted.. except 1894 action, but that model is out of production now.

I have exhausted my Google-foo skills at searching for hex head screws to replace the backstrap/trigger guard screws for my EMF GWII Alchemista revolvers. Due to shooting black powder I have to disassemble them often which wears down the soft factory screws. I had a malfunction last week and had to quickly tear down/fix/reassemble one between stages and the screws didn’t receive the TLC they deserved during the heat of battle. I could order new slotted ones but these being working guns (not museum pieces) I would prefer something more durable. Any ideas for sources for hex head screws?

Can anyone provide me with a little info on the Pioneer roller coil main spring for the Winchester 73 / Clones. Do they work, are they worth the money for what improvement they make to the rifle. Abilene

I’m having issues with my 1873 cycling properly it is hanging up as the bullet is being pushed into the chamber and after a few good wiggles of the lever you can get it to feed but it is an issue. The rifle is chambered in 357 mag. Looking for a gunsmith somewhere in tulsa or the surrounding area.

I'd like some advice. I am interested in buying a lever action rifle and single action revolver (ideally in the same caliber, but not required). I'm a Marine and have a lot of experience with semi-automatics, but little experience with revolvers or lever action rifles. I primarily want them for novelty and fun shooting, which makes me think I should get a pistol caliber such as 357 or 45 LC 1873 or 1892 Winchester. I have no experience with these types of guns, so I don't know what else they are well suited for besides Cowboy Action Shooting, which I'd enjoy getting into someday. So essentially I'm wondering (to figure out which brand/caliber would be best): 1. Which is better between the 1873 and 1892? I've heard that the 1873 has a smoother action, and the 1892 has a stronger action (Although I admit I don't really understand what that means). 2. If I want to use the rifle for hunting, would the 30-30 caliber 1894 be better? 3. For the 1892, is the Chiappa Alaskan Takedown better or worse than the Winchester? 4. Rifle vs carbine vs musket argument? (Picture of musket attached) 5. For the pistol, which is better between Ruger Vaquero and Uberti? Or is there a better one than those? 6. Do Cowboy Action Shooters shoot a lower caliber so they can shoot faster and more accurately? (Such as using a 357 pistol with 38 special rounds in it). Or do they typically go 45 LC or 44-40 for authenticity?

I just picked up a brand new Taylor’s/Uberti 1873 rifle in .357 for my better half. I’m looking for a short stroke kit for it but was advised that not all of them are SASS-legal. I’m interested in this Pioneer Gun Works Super Short Stroke kit. Can someone confirm these are legal? http://www.pioneergunworks.com/uberti-rifle-parts

any particular preference? I'm going from a Texas Brush Popper with an 18.5 barrel in 45 colt and looking for a 357. I was told I should go with a 20" barrel. Will it make much difference? I'm almost thinking 18.5" would be fine as I don't have a problem in 45, but I'm also the farthest thing from fast. Any suggestions are appreciated. Leadleg

Does any one know of a good gun smith in Souuth Florida that does qualify work on Sass rifles such as the 1873 Winchester. Thanks

Quick question: I'm looking to buy a new '73 and I'm wondering what the difference between the Winchester/Miroku and the Uberti actually is. What is the preferred version? What makes one better than the other? And is there even a big defference other than the $100 price difference to have the name " WInchester" on it?

Howdy Was the Renegade made in 44-40 ?..thanks

I wanted to start a little discussion here about the 1873. In particular, I would like to talk about some of the advantages and disadvantages of both the Winchester model and the Uberti. One of these rifles is in my future. Which one is still up for debate. What I do know that is a disadvantage of the WInchester is both the availability and the limited choices. So if all those folks that love the 1873 can chime in and talk about which models they have and why, barrel lengths, cost of upgrades and maintenance, looks of course, and anything else that comes to mind I'd greatly appreciate it. I especially want to hear from those that have both brands and their thoughts. Also, I plan to get mine in either 45 colt or 44-40. I shoot mostly 45 Colt right now, but I would not be opposed to using the 44-40 in this particular gun and also expanding my reloading repertoire.

For example: Great Western II Californian $545 http://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/Standard-Grips-c136.htm vs 1860 Army Steel $290 http://www.emf-company.com/store/pc/1860-Army-Steel-c172.htm Both made by Pietta, why the substantial price difference? Are the 1873's more complicated design (doesn't look like it to me), or are the specs much more precise?

I stopped by Gander Mt. to pickup some .40cal SD rounds for my dad and as I walked by the used guns I spied this beauty sitting next to an original 1894 Marlin. The Marlin I had seen for awhile, the '73 was new to the rack. I have been saving for a 24" .45cal 1873 for months and I was only half way there. I couldn't quiet read the tag from this side of the counter so I tried to get someone to help me. Fifteen minutes later I got a clerk to help me, I could tell it was a 20", "it will do", I told myself. When he handed my the rifle, I flipped the tag and it said .45 Colt, "yes!" I said to myself. $450, "did I read that right?" went through my mind, the clerk confirmed it. I pretended to look it over some more so I wouldn't look too eager, finally I said "I'll take it" http://s1057.photobucket.com/user/tornado1861/media/DSCF0947_zpsd4cfde82.jpg.html?sort=3&o=6

Hello all, I am a new member and I am just getting into the SASS scene. I am going to be starting with a solid lever action platform and would like some opinions from the experts here... Below are some concerns / questions I would like to narrow down. 1. New or Old. I have about $1500 to spend on the rifle and then probably another $500 or so (could be stretched for the right rifle) saved for customization. I also would like something I am very proud of and that will hold or increase in value over time. I am leaning to either a Winchester 1873 or 1892 original or one of the sleek new custom models that come pre-configured for SASS. 2. Cartridge Size. I need a round that will be affordable to shoot thousands of rounds from and I would prefer the easier reload of a non-tapered round. This obviously leads me to the newer production SASS platforms in .45, .357, etc but which is preferred... Also, if you were to go with the classic Winchester which size would you search out for and spend more $'s on the rifle if you could find it in. 3. Barrel Length. New and Old, what is the most common and preferred barrel length and type (octagonal or round) 4. Anything else I should consider and am I way off base from the beginning with what I am looking for? Thanks again, this should be fun I am selling my TRICKED out Saiga 12 to pickup my SASS rifle so it's out with the new in with the OLD :-)... Travis M. Semper Fi and safe return to all my brothers and sisters in harms way...
