SHORT STROKE KITS, FOR UBERTI RIFLES
Pioneer Gun Works Standard Short Stroke Kit
The Original kit that started it all! The Pioneer Gun Works short stroke kit. Now known as the “Standard Kit”, this is the kit that we have been manufacturing since 2004. Redesigned for a longer lasting performance, the standard short kit will shorten the lever throw of your Uberti rifle by 1.5”-1.75”. This performance kit is made from aircraft quality steel. With fully illustrated instructions that illuminates the necessity to require a gunsmith for installation.
*No longer a need to buy a new finger lever or permanently modify your bolt. The PGW Standard Kit requires a modest amount of installation in order to insure a proper fit to your rifle.
*Allowing for a night-and-day feel in contrast to the stock lever throw, the Standard Kit has been a favorite of many shooters just getting into the sport of cowboy action shooting. Designed to be every bit as compatible as your stock Uberti parts, you will notice the familiar design structure that will will work synergistically with your stock parts.
*NOTE* If you intend to use the Standard or the Super short stroke kits with your stock brass carrier, a minor adjustment to the brass carrier will be necessary. This modification will NOT effect the usage of the brass carrier in the event that you may wish to re-install the stock parts. A short video in the “Technical Info” section of our website shows you the exact place on the carrier in which to modify.

Pioneer Gun Works Super Short Stroke Kit.
The very best short stroke kit available, and what helped put Pioneer Gun Works on the map! The PGW Super Short Stroke Kit is unlike any other kit on the market. Made from the highest grade material, this three piece kit allows you to achieve the shortest lever throw allowed by SASS.
*Our Super Short Stroke Kit offers the shortest lever throw allowed by current SASS regulations. Without the need to purchase a new finger lever or to perform any permanent adjustment to the bolt, our kit comes with fully illustrated instructions allowing the average shooter the ability to install this kit WITHOUT the need to send your rifle to a gunsmith.
*Redesigned to be stronger and smoother, we have added steel to the outside portion of the links and have CLOSED the channel. This eliminated the “mushrooming” that can happen to the old model kits at the end of the inside channels from the lever pin.
*A unique re-design of the links have made the super kit smoother than it’s original design.. This innovative design is what allows the lever throw to be smooth while remaining functional.
*Made to stand the test of time, our super kit is still manufactured from aircraft steel and can be fitted to most 1866, 1873 and 1860 Henry model “Uberti” rifles.
(Newer models only! If your Uberti rifle has a “W” or “H” prefix to the serial number then you're assured that your rifle will be compatible with the short stroke kits.)
*NOTE* If you intend to use the Standard or the Super short stroke kits with your stock brass carrier, a minor adjustment to the brass carrier will be necessary. This modification will NOT effect the usage of the brass carrier in the event that you may wish to re-install the stock parts. A short video in the “Technical Info” section of our website shows you the exact place on the carrier in which to modify.

Pioneer Gun Works “Action Springs”
The Pioneer Gun works action springs are made specifically to give you the lightest spring tension available for the lever and lifter arms action, while still reliably allowing the carrier movement and lever action to stay true. Machined from high grade steel, they are tapped to work flawlessly with your stock Uberti lifter and lever screws. Our hardened “action spring screws” are a great addition with this kit, as the stock Uberti screws have a tendency to be soft which can cause gouging.
The specially designed “spring arms”, rock up and down while riding the cam surfaces of the lifer arm and lever. We have utilized specially designed music wire to suffice for the spring tension in this kit, giving our Action Springs one of the most unique and simple designs available in a performance part.
*Action Spring kit will come with 4 tension spring rods.
*NOTE* Action spring screws do NOT come with the action spring kit and will have to be purchased separately!

The Pioneer Gun Works Coil Mainspring Assembly Kit
The only performance part that we have patented with the US Patent office! The PGW coil mainspring kit displays the most unique and innovative design available while offering the lightest and smoothest feel to your overall hammer spring tension. Fully replacing the curved leaf spring, the kit comes with a roller bearing strut-arm that rides along the inside radius of the hammer rear. Collapsing one of two set tension coil springs, once the the trigger is engaged the tension is released and the hammer it PUSHED forward! This entire action and design adds a smooth tension increase, while aiding in minimal energy loss which gives a more positive rate of primer ignition.
*You do NOT need to be a gunsmith to install this kit.
*Two springs (one red, one blue) come with the kit. The red spring is the lightest spring and the one best to be installed for the lightest tension regardless of the caliber! The blue spring is 10% heavier, for those that wish to increase lock-time or for personal preference.
*Spacer washers are also added with the kit that allow you to manually add tension to the springs, and re-establish spring tension if you decide to clip off a coil and felt it to be too light.
‘73 Coil Mainspring Instructions Here... & ‘66 Coil Mainspring Instructions Here…
*NOTE* The stock mainspring screw will need to be shortened slightly to allow for the strut arm rod to eject out the rear hole of the mounting plate. In some cases the length of the strut arm can interfere with the butt stock bolt. A simple shortening of the rod itself may be required. Fully illustrated installation instructions are included with every coil mainspring assembly kit.

SLIXPRINGS LEVER SPRINGS
Tired of wearing the cams off of the finger and carrier levers in your competition rifle?
Tired of having to continually re-arch and/or reset the load on your replacement lever springs?
Want a smoother, more solid feeling, and improved action for your edge in competition?
The Cowboy Action Shooters from TK4B Enterprises have completely redesigned and engineered set of SliXprings to provide a smoother, trouble free competitive replacement lever spring kit.
These .076” lever springs are made from 100% music wire alloy and have been tested and determined to significantly reduce wear on the cam surfaces of both the finger lever and the carrier lever. The .076” wire size more closely reflects the wear surface diameter of the original springs (both clone and original) and therefore is more tolerant of any wear or pitch variations from manufacturing tolerances. The larger radius at the “Tab” also adds significantly to a smoother and more durable operation.
In addition, the .076” wire is approximately 3-1/2 times less likely to fatigue or lose its “set” over time. This spring material has been tested to over 900,000 equivalent lever cycles without any lose of tension. However, should either “set” or natural fatigue occur, the spring kit design allows for easy adjustment to return the action to its best operating pressures. The Kit is also designed for the installer to not only easily fit it, but also to be able to very finely tune the carrier spring pressure to adjust for different caliber and bullet weights to guarantee the smoothest uninterrupted action. Likewise the finger lever side can also be finely adjusted to allow for any lever modifications or the added weight of a protective wrap.
Each Kit contains a complete spring set and both screws and a set of instructions for the more capable home tuner.
SLIXPRINGS MAIN HAMMER SPRING
Faster, Smoother, more Durable Main-Spring replacement for Uberti Rifles
Want a Faster Lock Time?
Tired of those intermittent misfires?
Tired of continually adjusting hammer tension?
This is the System!!
TK4B Enterprises, makers of “SliXprings” and “SliXpins”, has produced a newly designed “SliXpring-Main” replacement Mainspring system that is designed to complement an already properly tuned and short stroked Winchester style 1873 rifle or carbine. Its sole purpose is to provide a faster lock time (faster, more positive hammer travel), a more dependable primer strike and a more durable, longer lasting, smoother cycling competition grade spring operation. It, in most cases, will feel a bit more brisk in the initial cocking action of your rifle, but be assured it will respond much more smoothly throughout the hammer cycle than a normal leaf style spring, plus it is at least 30% faster than your competitively adjusted leaf spring. The “SliXpring-Main” kit requires competent installation with minimal stock fitting and is completely reversible to your existing arrangement.
Because there are so many different tolerances and dimensions between bolts, hammers, lower tangs, action frames and tune-up styles the “Kit” itself is manufactured so the qualified installer/tuner can fairly easily fit and align the unit for optimum operation with minimal alteration. It will not fit the earlier square bridge lower tangs and some Border Rifle tangs without Tang modification. Also, since there are many different styles of shooting and needs for different levels of speed, the kit will include two axles. The basic axle will provide the fastest possible lock time and the most positive primer detonation while still retaining a smooth action cycle. A smaller diameter axle is also included which will still provide a noticeably faster lock time but with a slightly lighter, smoother lever cycle feel for the not yet absolutely competitive shooter.
The manufacturers want to clearly point out that if you have little or no idea how this Spring Kit is supposed to work, get help or find someone who does know how to install them. Due to all the variations in machining tolerances on the different rifles this is not a “one-size-fits-all” perfect “drop-in” set. It may/will take some individual fitting. Contact your local “Smith” to arrange installation. Our practice installations have taken about an hour to finish.
