Nice gun, good price: https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-f...un_id=101265102Ive seen a few of these that werent engraved as nice, and didnt have ejectors. No lightweight, but, a recoilless grouse and pheasant gun with 1 oz loads. Best, Ted

Ted,
That gun has really nice engraving, much nicer than the BSS-sidelocks.

Excellent engraving! Gun wasnt actioned very wellcontact with the breech face is limited. Wonder why the pitting on breech end of barrels? Overall very nice.

Short LOP. And adding a pad to get to 14 1/2" will also add more drop.
But otherwise agree that those are nice guns. Passed on one at what used to be a very good Kansas City show (held twice a year). Think I could have bought it for low teens, but wasn't looking for a 12ga at the time. Friend of mine bought one like that (but without ejectors) on which someone had installed choke tubes.
Not sure I've ever seen a poorly made gun from Miroku.

Not sure I've ever seen a poorly made gun from Miroku. I have one. Mine is colour case hardened and very well finished. Decent length tubes (28"). Chopper lump construction, hand engraved, Drop points, gold inlaid "SAFE" and wedding bands to the breech and a Stock Oval. I had it restocked to 14-3/4" LOP and a higher comb. It was 14-1/4". They command high prices in the UK. Gough Thomas wrote an article in "The Field" giving them high marks for quality.

Beautiful gun, but short barrels and very heavy.

Kinda heavy for a gun with 26 tubes. Im not sure exactly what Id use it for, but, the choke tubes would make if flexible, I guess.
The more I look at this one, the more I like a Browning BSS, but, the engraving is really nice on this one.
Best,
Ted
