Old World Craftsmanship ~ New World Technology
These rifles come with everything needed to compete at the highest level of cowboy action shooting. There is no longer the need to ship your new rifle off to get an action job and short stroke job, and wait for the work to be done, then wait for it to be shipped to you. Why not save those shipping fees and buy a rifle that's ready to go right out of the box?
We've added a bunch of features to our Competition Ready Rifles that will make our custom rifles the ones to beat. No other competition ready rifles have all the features that ours do. Just take a look at the standard features on our guns:
Short Stroke Kit
The most popular modification available for the model 73 & 66 rifles are standard equipment on our competition ready rifles. You get your choice of our standard short stroke kit or the super short stroke kit. Both are SASS legal.
Aluminum Carrier
Made of 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized gold (similar to the color of brass) for longer life, these light weight carriers are less than 1/3 the weight of the stock brass carriers, resulting in the lightest feeling action possible.
Action Job
Every PGW competition ready rifle comes with an action job by Joe Alves, CAS gunsmith.
Speed-Sight Front Sight
This front sight was designed by us to be the best front sight for fast target acquisition and durability. It has a 1/8" spherical brass bead that draws your eye to it mounted to our own base. Carbines come with the same 1/8" spherical brass bead mounted on our own barrel band.
Stainless Steel Magazine Spring & Follower
These parts will help keep rust from forming in your magazine tube, which can lead to feeding problems. If you shoot where it's humid or rainy, you need these parts.
Leather Lever Wrap
The lever leather wrap cushions your knuckles and takes up space in the lever loop for more comfort and control. Plus, it adds a nice western look to your rifle.
New Firing Pin and Light Weight Spring
This aftermarket firing pin is stronger and slightly longer than the Uberti firing pin so it can be fit to your rifle. The light weight spring means less resistance for the hammer strike to overcome, which translates to more reliable firing.
Light Weight Firing Pin Extension
This addition lessens the weight that the hammer strike has to move in order to move the firing pin. This will make your rifle more reliable, and allow the use of a lighter main spring tension at the same time.
Action Springs by Pioneer Gun Works
Our new action springs include a lever spring and a lifter arm spring. Each spring assembly consists of a mounting base, a pivot arm, and a tension rod. They're a step up from the piano wire type springs.

Here's how to order a Competition Ready Rifle:
Give us a call and tell us what style, caliber, and barrel length you would like your rifle to be. Choose which short stroke kit fits your needs, and what extras, if any, you might want.
Our lead time typically runs about 3 - 4 weeks, provided our distributor has your rifle in stock when we order it.
Payment in full is made at the time that you place your order. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express (without a service charge). We also accept personal or certified checks. We will then need a signed copy of your dealer's FFL. When your rifle is finished, we ship it to your dealer, where you can go to pick it up. If you need help finding a dealer, we can help.
All stock parts that were in your rifle will be shipped to you with the rifle.
These Competition Ready Rifles from Pioneer Gun Works are the result of years of building custom rifles for cowboy action shooting and are not only the finest out of the box rifles money can buy, but they're the finest competition rifle you can buy...period! You've got my word on it.
