Realtree Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Looking for advice on where to purchase extra lever springs for my Miroku 73. It took a reload stage today to realize that the spring was broke when the lever kept falling as I was trying to reload.
Flash Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Lever falling does not always mean the spring is broke. Just saying...
Realtree Posted November 2, 2020 Author Posted November 2, 2020 No, it's broken. I already took it out and it is in two pieces. Duct tape?
Warden Callaway Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 The Browning/ Winchester repair center in Arnold Missouri.
Realtree Posted November 2, 2020 Author Posted November 2, 2020 Yep, I called and they are sending the springs to me. Very easy. Thank you

If it was an AK, then barbed wire would be a better choice. Duct tape is best reserved for reconditioning HiPoints. Good to hear you found a source for parts. I'm just replying to put this thread in my history should I need the same source.
Warden Callaway Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 I've heard nothing but good things about the Browning (Winchester is a Browning brand) repair shop in Arnold Missouri. Local people drive there with their problem gun and, if they can, fix it on the spot or have you come back in a few hours. (But these were old stories. I don't know if they still can provide this kind of service.) A owner of a large gunshop just last week was talking about warranty repair and put the Arnold facility at the top of his list. In our own experience, I needed parts for my Miroku 73. Mary called and the lady on the phone walked back and bagged up the parts while talking on the phone. We had them in a couple of days.
Realtree Posted November 6, 2020 Author Posted November 6, 2020 I received the springs within 3 days, tuned one slightly with a nice polish, installed it and my Winchester is back up and runnin' with no down time. Next up, the Ides of Marvember, the FL State Championships in just a couple weeks!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Note to ALL. The lever side springs for Miroku are the same spring for BOTH sides.
