Preacherman Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Hi, Does anybody short stroke a Winchester, Miroku, '73/'66? I know that some of our go to short stroke parts folks don't offer anything to work with. Thanks, Preacherman
Warden Callaway Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Pioneer offered parts at one time but I understand they have quit. The factory Miroku is already somewhat short stroke. I bought a 73 with Pioneer short stroke kit and took it out and replaced factory parts.
Preacherman Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 So, what are you saying? That the factory parts are better than the Pioneer short stroke kit was and that you changed it back?

Warden Callaway Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Fsctory vs Pioneer short stroke below.
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Cody will do a Cody-Matic short stroke. I talked to him the other day. There's no difference in how he does the Uberti or Winchester because it's a cut and weld job.
Preacherman Posted February 24, 2020 Author Posted February 24, 2020 They look almost the same. How much difference is there and what Gen is the Pioneer? Thanks
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Pioneer Short Stroke kits don't have "Generations." Generations applies to Cowboys and Indian SS Kits. Pioneer only offers "Standard' and "Super Short"
Totes Magoats Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Carty did the two 73's I have. They are the shortest stroke allowed by SASS and they are nice! Totes

Thanks Man's got to know his limitations. I'm a 60 second stage shooter. What de'hell is a few degrees of lever travel going to help my times?

Sedalia Dave Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 I think we need a new category. Call it the Minute Man category. Winner is the person whose average stage time for the match is closest to 1 minute.

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 If we had a Minuteman category I could shoot Josey Wales style full time. Imis
July Smith Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Boomstick (Jason Widmer) is another gunsmith that short strokes Mirokus. As others have said a short stoke by itself won't make you a top shooter but it will make you faster than you were before. If you really don't care about time I would not bother changing out the stock Miroku links. Unlike the Uberti, the Mirokus really are very nice right out of the box and will serve most shooters very well without any modifications.
Preacherman Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 I got what I need and kinda gave up on this as I had stumbled into a good deal on a '66 that didn't work out. Thanks all for your help and ideas. Preacherman
Warden Callaway Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Just a footnote. If you want a good workout, shoot an original Winchester 1873 with original springs and linkage.
Preacherman Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 I know, I tried that, but I'm too weak!!! That's why I need all the help that I can get,
