New American made Screws
We've had a lot of interest in our new heat treated American made screws for Uberti model 66 & 73 rifles since announcing on this page that we were going to have them available soon. Well, we now have our first screws in stock and ready for delivery.
We have new barrel band screws available now that will fit Uberti made carbine barrel bands, as well as our own Speed-Sight carbine barrel bands.
In about a month, we'll have screws for the Uberti lever and lifter arm springs. These will replace the soft Uberti screws that get ruined by just trying to remove them.
New Firing Pins
We now have extra length firing pins of our own design available for your rifles. Although we have been offering an aftermarket firing pin for some time now, we feel our design is an improvement over the others in several ways.
First, installation is simpler. Our firing pins are .015" longer than Uberti firing pins are, and are designed to be a simple drop in replacement with no fitting required.
Second, The material that we use, along with the design and production methods we use, allows us to guarantee them against breaking.
Third, manufacturing our own firing pins allows us to sell them for 25% less than our competitors!
New For 2010!
Pioneer Gun Works is now a dealer for Pioneer Arms Corporation's double barrel shotguns.
In our opinion, these are the highest quality hammered doubles on the market, period!
I have been a machinist over forty years, and I haven't seen this attention to detail and quality of workmanship in any shotgun made for cowboy action shooting until now.
Our price on these fine shotguns is $1200.00
Suggested retail price is $1290.00

New Products
We have added more new products to our line of competition parts, improved some old favorites, and we have more new products in development. Here's a peek at what we're up to at PGW:
This is the first of our new line of American made, hardened screws made for model 66 & 73 rifles. These are barrel band screws that will fit Uberti made carbine barrel bands, and our own Speed-Sight barrel bands.
These are our new extra length firing pins. They are .015" longer than the Uberti made firing pins, and are a drop in replacement. They come with a shorter, lighter spring, and sell for 25% less than our competitors' firing pins.
We now have light weight firing pin extensions for model 1866 rifles and carbines. They come in two styles. One is for 66s made before January 2008, and one for 66s made after January 2008.
Our rifle Speed Sights now come in two heights: The standard .410" height that works well with the Uberti rear sights that came on your rifle, and the new .500" height, that some shooters like to pair with tang mounted peep sights.
Also new to our lineup is a stainless steel magazine spring for 38 caliber Marlins.
Our leather lever wraps will cushion your hand when the shooting gets fast!
These leather butt covers will keep your butt where it belongs - firmly planted against your shoulder. Available for rifles and carbines.
Need some place to stash your ammo or empty brass? This belt mounted pouch is just the ticket.
With warm weather coming in a few months, this high quality canvas belt will keep your belly cool, and make you look cool too!
Here's a picture of our Marlin one piece firing pin kit. These come from Longhunter Shooting supply, and are of the highest quality. They come with a light weight hammer spring and a light weight lever plunger spring.
Here's a pretty cool tool if you shoot a Stoeger shotgun. This little spanner wrench is about three inches long, and is used to remove those little threaded collars that hold the firing pins in place. Put away that hammer and punch and pick up one of these little beauties.
Product Development:
American made screws for 1873s!
We're expanding our gun parts line again. We now have American made screws for the Uberti model 1873 rifles. The first ones we have are the barrel band screws. These screws are being made of a high quality steel alloy, and will be direct replacements for the soft Uberti screws. After that, they'll be available for the model 1866 rifles as well.
