I have probably discharged 100,000 rounds through Browning/Miroku O/U’s.
These are my findings.

A new out-of-the-box browning sporting clays model, will run about 40,000 rounds before it needs rejoining.
A Browning shop can change the worn parts, and get it back to you in a day.

I imported a pair of Miroku High pheasant 20s through Charles, And other than visiting his shop for pick up and testing, I did so entirely on his reputation.

The transaction was effortless, and cost efficient.


I have put just about 5000 rounds through them.
They operate in every way exactly as my Browning’s have and I am pleased with the barrel differences.

The top lever locking mechanism was too tight on number two, so I had them polished until the top lever effort was identical between the two guns. You can tell no difference between them any longer.

They will outlast me, draining the life from high birds with excellent patterns and a dynamic nature.


Out there doing it best I can.
