So what's the scoop on some 12's having more screws than others? Older/newer? OK/better? Are they all 3" chambers?
I have four BSS frames and five sets of barrels in 12 and 20, never noticed any difference in number of screws but didn't count them. All my barrels are 3" chambers. The early guns had silver triggers (SNST) and the newer guns had gold triggers (SST). As I recall, some were assembled in Korea with Japanese parts, but I don't remember the sequence. Have not noticed any difference in quality based on country of assembly. Larry Brown had a good article in Shooting Sportsman a few years ago that covered the Miroku doubles, including the BSS.
Also have a Miroku 500 in 20 gauge and a Daly 500 in 12 ga (with two barrels) and all those barrels are 2-3/4" chambers.
