Check out here. http://www.leeroysramblings.com/Gun%20Articles/Miroku_O-U_shotguns.htmlThey did make a specific engraving for their 'Superior Grade' guns. May only apply to Charles Daley guns though?

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

Thanks. Those are great guns and main competition for Beretta boxlocks with "U-type" bolting system which in itself is testimonial to their greatness. Thank you. Now I know what that slide button on side of action on high grade Charles Daly guns was for.

Your welcome I bought a 1973 charles daly miruko superior grade 12ga. Skeet gun. Mint condition, for $700 cdn. My son shot it very well, so it's his now. Very under rated manufacturer IMHO. Perfectly regulated barrels to boot. One of my best buys.

That was a great piece of information. It would worry me a bit, however, on how much time the author spent documenting different versions of various springs, and, how often they broke in exactly the same spot.
Best, Ted

Jerry, the gun you've depicted is a 'Superior' grade. The 'Field' grade guns had an altogether diff engraving pattern and the 'Venture' grade guns were extractor models.

Best, Ted I recall doing an article on Miroku guns several years ago. A gunsmith who worked on them did point out that broken springs was the major issue with the OU's. But nice guns. I like the deep chiseled engraving.

I purchased new a Miroku Charles Daly in the fall of 1969. Superior Grade 12 ga with 26" barrels. Basically the only gun I used for 20+ years. I shot it better than anything before or since. When I bought it a hunting buddy had a new Gr1 Superposed. No caparison between the two, the Daly had better wood, better fit and finish, much better engraving, etc. Put a huge number of rounds through it with zero problems. Even (stupidly) quite a few baby mags. I loaned/gave it to a nephew and it was stolen from him in 1995 or so while he was attending college in southern Illinois. I still have the original box which indicates it as a Model 203, serial number 552718. I had removed the white spacer from the grip cap, too ugly for me. Oddly enough, a handgun stolen at the same time showed up about 2 years ago in St. Louis and I now have it back. Unfortunately my Charles Daly is still stolen and unaccounted for.
