Dee Mak Jack, SASS #55905 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I don't have access to a rifle with one of their new super short kits. How do these stack up against the standard kits as far a levering effort smoothness etc. I have a codymatic in 44/40 and just wanted to try one of Pioneers kits. Let m know what you think.

Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just a heads up u will need a new lever as well if you intend to install the kit in your Cody rifle. Also headspace could change as well. Not impossible hurdles just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondo Tucker Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I have one of each- short and super short from Pioneer Gun Works. I put in both kits, and eventually sent each to Pioneer for other things and to be slicked up. I have handled a lot of slick rifles, and have yet to find any as good as my normal short stroke. I am NOT saying anything about anyone elses rifle here, just that this particular one is fantastic. My super short is pretty nice, but has a little less mechanical advantage than the normal short stroke. For this reason, not as smooth. I have shot a number of Cody's rifles, and all have been great. You will feel more lever effort with a super short stroke when you go slow. When you are running the rifle full speed, you won't notice any difficulty with the action, just a little shorter stroke. I haven't measured, but a Cody feels about the same length throw as my normal short stroke. In the end, I think you will be happy with either one.

Red Leg Russ, SASS #41,697 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I also have a couple Cody rifles and one by Pioneer Gun Works with the super short stroke. Ditto on what Hondo Tucker said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Outlaw, SASS 71385 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I just recently tried the new version of Pioneer super Short & I really like it,I've had Cody Matics and Cody does a great job and stands behind his stuff but if u want a shorter stroke I'd give it a try. Running the guns hard in a match or whatever your probaly not going to notice which is smoother like just others have said. What I like about the new Pioneer Super Short is it does not start loading up right away so the begining when you are first opening lever is easier some others I have felt. Like Deuce said though you will need a new lever since yours has been modified. AO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
