SliXprings Lever Spring

SliXprings Lever Spring

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.

Great product
M Blantz - 10/04/2022
Well worth the price. It really made a difference in my Uberti 1873 rifle.
Finer adjustment than stock springs
Stogie Jack Daniels - 09/02/2022
I bought these for a Uberti '73 new model short rifle because they appeared to be more flexible than the rigid steel stock springs. After installing, I found it was easier to fine tune the tension than with the stock springs. I took off a star because I had to do some fitting that was not specified in the description. The mounting lugs are much thicker than those on the stock springs, and interfere with (at least on my gun) the loading gate unless screwed all the way down, which puts way too much tension on the lifting arm. I had to grind off half a millimeter to get the gate to clear. I don't see any reason why these could not have the same thickness as the originals, or at least a little thinner so the loading gate works without extra fitting.

Reply from Badman Bullets:

Every gun’s tolerances are a tad different. Our springs are designed to be screwed down firm and no lightening is needed. This allows for a positive uread morepward locking position of the carrier. As you mentioned when loosening them some the block interfered with the lifter arm. In this case… yes this can happen. Glad you figured it out and thank you for the review and business. I’m sure you will get many years of enjoyment out of them.

Smooth up action

Slix springs
Riverdog - 04/10/2019
Got the Slix springs in the mail the other day, shipping was 3 days , I took my '73 apart and followed the directions
that came in the package, they replaced the other aftermarket springs that were getting weak. Made a marked improvement in the way the rifle worked. I would recommend these, easy to install.
Slixprings 1873 rifle
Robert Omlor - 03/25/2019
Fast shipping, I’m not a gunsmith but the installation well pretty easy and made a heck of a difference in the smoothing out of the action on my rifle, since then I’ve probably put 300 rounds through the rifle without any problems so a big thumbs up to slixprings
Great improvement
Lead Paint - 11/19/2018
These springs made a great improvement in my Uberti 1866 rifle. They are telling the truth when they say they may require fitting. You MIGHT get lucky and they drop right it in. I wasn't so lucky. I got one side fitted without too much trouble but the other side proved too difficult so I brought it to my friendly gunsmith who fitted it with no trouble at reasonable cost. DEFINITELY worth the time, trouble and cost.

THE Best Lever Side Springs
Coffinmaker - 05/16/2016
Simple. The BEST after-market Lever Side Springs
on the market.
SlixSprings Lever Spring
Chuck Doss - 09/17/2014
The transaction with Badman Bullets was quick and easy--the springs were delivered within three days of my order. Even though I'm new to working on the 1866 Winchester, the Slix Springs were easy to install and adjust. I'd definitely recommend them and Badman Bullets.
Slick Springs
Larry Micheau - 10/31/2013
I really like your Slick Springs. I had two sets from a different company but these are heavy duty and are much more positive, especially with the brass carrier. Thanks for the great product. I've passed this info to many of my friends.
