Happy New Year!
We would like to wish all of our customers and fellow cowboy action shooting friends a very happy and prosperous new year. 2009 was a great year for us, and we want to thank all of you for the record breaking sales year that we had. We try hard to improve our product line every year and to offer new products to make your cowboy guns help you to shoot your best. When you reward us by spending your hard earned money on our products and services, it tells us that we're doing things right. Thanks again!
New Way to Order a Custom Rifle:
We're now offering a new way to order a custom competition rifle. You pick the model rifle that you want and tell us how you want it equipped, and we'll quote you a price. Take a look on the Competition Ready Rifles page for details.
New Website Look:
We've recently updated the look and feel of our website. There will be periodic updates to the main page informing you of what's new at Pioneer Gun Works. We've also added some useful information to our Technical Information page. You can go there to download installation instructions for many of the products that we sell, and we will be adding some tuning tips and solutions to common issues that will help you tune your rifle for competition use.
Our goal is to make our website and our business the best place to go for information and products that will make your cowboy action shooting experience the best it can be.
Product Development:
We're continually improving our products at Pioneer Gun Works in order to offer our customers the very best in performance and value. Sometimes these improvements are apparent and sometimes they're not. Here are some of the improvements that we've made to our line of competition parts for your model 73 & 66 rifles and carbines:
Aluminum Carriers:
Our small caliber aluminum carriers have been redesigned for smoother feeding and better ejection. The rear of the cartridge channel has been beveled at an angle that allows the round to feed forward more smoothly. The top ejection area toward the rear of the carrier now has a concave shape and the top of the carrier is slightly taller to aid in the smooth ejection of empty cases.
Coil Mainspring Conversion:
Although our coil mainspring conversion has been a huge success, we've been testing new materials for this kit for a year, and have made an improvement that is now available. We're now making the coil mainspring conversion kit from 6061 aluminum and anodizing it for corrosion protection. This makes the moving parts in this conversion kit lighter, resulting in more energy transfer to the firing pin and faster lock times, which result in more reliable firing and faster follow-up shots.
Competition Ready Rifles
We've upgraded our line of competition ready rifles to include some of the performance parts that our customers have been asking for. These improvements will increase the reliability and performance of our competition ready rifles, making them the best competition ready rifles money can buy. Go to the "Competition Ready Rifles" page for details.
New Products
The new products listed below are now, or will soon be added to our online shopping page, and their images will soon be added to our competition parts page.
Leather Lever Wraps & Butt Covers
We're adding some very nice leather products from local leather smith, Wayne Ross (AKA Slick Elic MacKenzie). Slick's been making leather goods for some time and has agreed to supply us with some very high quality products for your rifles and shotguns. We're starting out with lever wraps and butt covers, and will be adding to that line in the near future.
TTN Model 1878 Coach Gun Springs
We have acquired a supply of TTN coach gun springs and parts. We have the latch lever springs, hammer springs, seer springs, and some other small parts and screws. These will be offered for sale as long as they last.
Speed-Sights
These new rifle and carbine sights have become a favorite of our customers in a very short time. They have a 1/8" spherical brass bead attached to our own sight base and barrel band. They are virtually indestructible, and the sight tip reflects the sin light to draw your eye to the front sight, where it needs to be to shoot fast.
Marlin One Piece Firing Pin kit
We're now carrying the one piece Marlin firing pin kits from Longhunter Shooting Supply. These kits include the firing pin, a light weight main spring, and a light weight lever detent spring.
