1873 rifle
« on: June 04, 2006, 06:57:44 PM »
Bought a new cimarron 73 deluxe some time ago . A few things I felt could be improved. So I sent it off to Joe Alves at pioneer gun works.  WoW  He called me when he recieved the weapon and told me what he planned to do. Good communication.
 I took it for a test run this a.m. Crisp action and trigger. Being new to this sport I didnt really know what people were talking about
 when they said crisp. Now I do.
 Chambered  .38 spec. 130 grain pistol rounds no problem. O.k. I've got something even shorter 125gr.  from ammo direct.
 Chambered just fine and felt like I was levering Air.  Now I had a bag a mixed .38 different grain so different length. I also threw in some .38 125gr. the short ones in no particular order. The rifle never missed a beat chambered everything smooth .
  Just a basic action job adding his short stroke kit and aluminum carrier , and it came back a different rifle. I had an action job on my Marlin but this was completly different. I am not a gamer I'm too old &  too slow but I love the feeling of anything that is mechanically smooth.

Camille just grins and nods her head.
