Nickel City Dude Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I recently acquired a Miroku Winchester and the rear sight is horrible. I would like to replace it with a full Buckhorn one. I need some info as to where I can get one that will fit the Miroku. Also when levering the gun one needs to put a little extra effort at the end to get the lever to go all the way up to the stock. Is there any way to lighten this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Pioneer Gun Works has rear sights that fit the Mirokus. The lever safety has been the subject of another thread. Can't find it now, but it's on here somewhere. Slix Springs sells a replacement for the lever safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if Pioneer also has a lighter spring for the lever safety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer has stopped doing action jobs on the Mirokus. They don't offer any springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I replaced the rear sign on my Miroku with a slot blank. I'm sure it's just standard 3/8" wide dovetail. Just pick one. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1005892420?pid=646052 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miroku's have very stiff lever safety springs you can cut the trigger spring where it also acts as the lever safety spring and fit a uberti lever safety spring. I also thinned the other springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I just but a little bit of a bend in my spring. Takes very little to lighten up the factory spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken my 1860 Henry apart but never an 1873 and I am having trouble finding a video that addresses taking down just the trigger group.

I didn't even put much of a bend in the spring and saw a vast improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
