Much Better than stock

Curtis Rich - 08/14/2024

I have accumulated 5 Uberti 73s over 26 years. 4 have SliXprings lever springs. Two were put in when the stock ones broke. The other were put in by the gunsmiths who built them. The last set installed were pure drop in, no bending or grinding. Adjust with the screws to taste. They don't wear out or get out of adjustment. They're the only ones I buy.

problem with elevator

not able to get the elevator spring to exert enough force on lifter arm, the lever worked well however

Reply from Slixprings:

Do to variances in the rifle manufacturing… some tuning is required. Excerpt from the installation instructions. #5 Tighten the screw until you get the desired pressure, being ever aware of the position of the spring tab on the cam. If proper location is NOT apparent when smooth proper pressure is achieved, bend the tab to the best location.

Excellent product so far. I like the fact that they are a little oversized on the block and the spring length so that they can be tuned exactly to each action. It did not take long with a mill file and 600 grit sand paper to fit them to my 1873 in .44-40. The action feels great!

Well made

Fit and finish was excellent with nothing left to keep the fit from being nice and tight. Time will tell if the use of locktight will keep the screw placement as I backed off a bit to gentle out the cycling of the action.

Worked really well in my 73. I had another brand, but these were smoother.

Uberti 357 Rifle and SlixSprings

Hawk Eyes Hudson - 01/23/2023

I ordered, a set of special springs with my short stroke kit. Like the Uberti springs it just wasn't where I wanted to be. One too stiff the other not enough. The SlixSprings set was easy to install and could be adjusted just by bending the spring. On the carrier side I am getting that carrier pop that I wanted. SlixSprings from now on.

Broke a Uberti Lever Spring, & my gunsmith told me to get Slixprings lever springs. They are excellent!

Product Review

Joe Ramirez - 06/18/2022

I had SliXprings, installed in my rifle several years ago. I immediately noticed improvement in the action. When a friend began to have problems with his rifle, I agreed to look at his rifle. I noticed several problems one of which was the lever springs, I ordered SliXprings and installed them in my friends rifle. I was very happy, but my friend was extremely happy. I recommend SliXprings to anyone interested in improving the operation of their rifle.

Had a gunsmith install the springs they fixed my problem.

Dependable

Hardscrabble Mac - 11/28/2021

Just put a set in a new back up 73 with short stroke. Have been running them for years now with zero issues.

Great product and service

Slixprings are outstanding, been using them for at least 10 years in my shop.
