John Boy Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 We are currently looking into making a NEW part for the Winchester Miroku rifles! * As you all know, we have "discontinued" the production of the Short Stroke Kits for this gun, due to quality control and compatibility issues. However, we will be re-producing the firing pin extensions, as well as designing a NEW part for the Winchesters. Here's where YOU come in! If you are a cowboy shooter and have a Winchester Miroku 1873, we are looking for YOU to consider allowing us to use your rifle for some R&D on our new part design! * Please read the qualifications carefully: 1: MUST allow us to use your rifle for several months. Your rifle will be in good hands, will only EVER be handled by staff members, and MAY be used for test firing to assess proper usage of the new part. 2: You will NOT be payed for your participation! Shipping of your firearm will be totally on you, but here's the best part! Once design, installation and proper testing has been established to the point of a finished product, you get to KEEP a finalized run of the part when it is ready as payment for allowing us to use your rifle for R&D! 3: Your rifle MUST be in working condition, be clean of fouling, dirt and common usage dirt, and be an 1873 model (for ease of testing) The part will be compatible for the 1873 AND 66 models! * Please email us at willshootem@pioneergunworks.com will ALL inquires on this!

Michigan Slim Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If I could afford a rifle to use while they had mine I'd do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Texas jack Black SASS#9362 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 What if the new part is a spring? I find this a strange request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I would be interested except shipping could be $50 one way, if you had to pay both ways $100. Not worth it for a couple $20 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Hangtree Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Nothing mentioned on their website about their short stroke kits being discontinued. Makes one wonder . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
