I think Ted goofed there. Expect he's talking about the Model 23, which came out of Winchester's Olin-Kodensha joint venture. Along with the 101 and the Parker Repro.

Getting back to Miroku-made sxs,in general I like the Miroku Dalys better than the BSS, although most of the Miroku guns are PG/BT and I prefer straight/splinter. There are a few of those around; wish there were more. I picked up a Miroku Model M 12ga years ago. Looked for all the world like a very basic Birmingham boxlock: Straight/splinter/DT. Non-ejector. Plain case colored receiver. Factory choked IC/IM. It was a very good pheasant gun. Let it go in a moment of weakness.
