Our Cowboy Guns and Gear Uberti 1873 Short Strok Kits are made from high tensile steel which has high fatigue strength, excellent toughness and good corrosion resistance. We have polished the mating surfaces but left a jeweling effect for the retention of oil and lubricants. All sharp edges have been radius to prevent binding and catching. This should provide an unmatched wearing ability to cope with the rigorous use seen in Single Action Shooting.

With our short stroke kits it is no longer necessary to grind, weld or bend to adjust timing. The lifter arm is fitted with 2 grub screws. The first screw adjusts the the timing of the carrier arm so the lever pushes the carrier arm at the correct time.

Because the action has now been speed up there is a need to modify the breech bolt, you will need to shorten the thickness of the wings at the front of the breech bolt or the carrier if brass will need to be modified. This is the same process for any other short stroke on the market.

The bolt and carrier should not touch each other. If you are running a standard brass carrier you will need to modify it also so they do not touch.You will also need to make sure the bottom tab of the bolt does not touch the incoming round as overtime this will inevitably break the tab.

The 2nd screw adjusts the carrier timing so the the lever pushes the carrier completely down to the bottom of its travel, This is a feature of the original Winchester. this adjustment also affects the time at which the lever starts to push the carrier down.

*NOTES**

*  If you are planning on running the standard brass carrier with our short stroke kits you will need to make a minor adjustment to your carrier. The modification will not effect the usage of the brass carrier if you choose to reinstall original parts. Our light weight carriers do not require any modification.

*  If trying to fit to an 1866 you may need to modify the loading gate.

* These short stroke kits are made for original Uberti levers only. They do not work with levers that have been bent, welded or otherwise modified.

These kits are easily installed by any firearm enthusiast with a basic disassembly and reassembly knowledge and ability.
