Tall John Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Hi, I’m the proud owner of a super slick Mirakou Winchester 1873 that I bought from a world champion. I decided to clean it and my Taylor Uberti 1873 Comanchero 38/357’s this weekend. after full disassembly and cleaning my Comanchero, when I started tearing down my Mirakou, I noticed that both lever springs #15 finger and #16 carrier lever springs appear identical with the hooks turning to the right vs the same parts on my Comanchero where they each turn inward.(pictures). is this normal? A case of not finding the right parts in the past? Or something else? the gun shoots great, and never jams but I don’t want to break it. Thanks!

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 John, Put this question on the Wire not the classifieds. Short answer to your question is the orientation of the springs should be as indicated on the schematic. I would contact the previous owner and ask.

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) John, I checked mine and forget everything I wrote above. The spring set up on the Miroku is different than the Uberti. The right side (carrier) spring fits as normal, but the left side (lever) spring is backwards, i.e. the pin makes contact with lever differently. If you put them in and cycle the action you will see what I mean. I did note that the spring pins are thicker on mine (no action work done). It's possible yours may have been thinned out.

Lassy LaRock Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Miroku: both springs are identical. Uberti: the springs are different. Edited April 15 by Lassy LaRock 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Miroku has been that way since the first ones came out. kR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
