Work on your new Winchester 73

If you decide to start "Fine Tuning" one of the new Winchester 73s, do so very carefully. If you break a part or "Over-tune" one, you will be out in the cold for a while. I just got off the phone with Winchester parts dept, trying to buy some spare parts for their New 73. I was told that there ARE NONE, and that it would be 6 mo to a year before they will be available.... even small things like springs and such!!

 

So... be careful what you do. The gun is nice, and has a great deal of potential, but for right now if you need a factory part, you will just have to wait! I expect that some after market parts/springs will be available before too long.

 

If Winchester expects to market this gun to the Cowboy Action Shooter, they need to be prepared to supply the CAS needs.

Reconfirmed... just talked to Glenn Hatt... Production manager.... He confirmed that no replacement parts are available at this time, and it will be 6mo to a year before they will be.
