great service, thanks

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.

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.

Simple. The BEST after-market Lever Side Springs
on the market.

Excellent Product. Fits and works perfectly in my Uberti Model 73.

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.

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

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.

Runs smooth as glass now!! Easy instead!! Just stoned a few areas in action took a little off lifter spring and Done !!! 2 fingers lever it awesome!!Got here in 2day to boot!!

This is the first step in smoothing up a 66/73 action.

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 upward 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.

Well worth the price. It really made a difference in my Uberti 1873 rifle.

These are the absolute best after-market Lever Side Springs for Uberti Toggle Link rifles. A tiny bit of fitting and they make a huge difference in the action and best of all, I DON'T have to grind and fit OEM springs. Most Excellent
