Having owned nearly every grade of b25 in the English market, some 2 or three times my favourite being a C3 trap narrow rib but I would be at the front of the queue to say Miroku are every bit as good as the browning range their reliability ,hard wearing ,and handling quality is SUPERB . I've owned my mk3800 32" trap 30yrs it's never missed a beat and the gun has been hammered .

After viewing your video, I have, I think, a Charles Daly 12 GA by BC Miroku that is a 1973 build. It has gold inlayed engraving and very good shape. Do you know what type of Chokes they would have. It is fixed and suspect it would be I/4 and 3/4??? Also what is the difference of a Charles Daly and a 3700. My S/N is 375495. I bought this gun in 1978 from a private person used and have hardly used it. I am getting ready for my a fun Trap even at the end of June, 2019, so I have really enjoyed all the online information. I am not sure how I see your reply?? My email is jstilgh@gmail.com. I hit subscribe button so I am not sure what that does. I look forward to your response. Jim

I can’t enough of the videos! Thank you! I have one with the Superior grade engraving. It has the grip cap with white line. The butt is curved, has white line, and a red B C Miroku pad. Serial is 557###. It measures 1.25” at comb and 1.5” at heel of comb. Almost a parallel comb. Checkering is not flat topped.I hope this info adds to the body of knowledge. I would appreciate any more info.

Hi Tim, Another interesting video. Thank you. Question: there’s a 3800 and a Mk38. There’s a Mk 70 and a Mk 60 and of course the 7000 and 6000. In each case I suspect the four digit number is the predecessor to the two digit model number. The question is, if this is correct, what’s the difference and why go for one over the other, what’s to be gained from spending more money on the newer model?
@CountrywayGunshop15 жыл бұрын
You are correct regarding the Miroku models. What is gained from buying new over the second hand models is that when buying new you are getting a gun that has never been shot or played around with. When buying second hand, you're never quite sure what kind of life they have lived.

Very informative video, When did they start using letters on serial numbers? (Browning influence as you mentioned). I also own a miroku millennium shotgun, (MK70) any information on this would be good. Miroku make some of the best shotguns around!
@CountrywayGunshop15 жыл бұрын
Hi. Miroku starting using letters in their serial numbers around 1975-1980. Regarding the Millenium shotgun, that particular model never came over to England. We would love to see some pictures of it if you could email them to us - gunroom@countrywaygunshop.co.uk

That was my theory too as to the design on the latch, glad to see it may be correct. I have a 700 made no later than 1968, the year my grandfather bought it at the US Navy Exchange in Yokosuka.

Hi guys, really enjoyed this video - I'm in Sydney Australia, and just picked up an older Miroku and was trying to work out the model. It is extremely similar (almost exact!) to the one you showed here from 1975, and has a serial no of 678xxx, with no letters. However, I see no model number on mine, only the word 'Stirling' (not 'Sterling'). It only shows the Japanese proof marks - nothing else. It happens to have a monte carlo stock, which makes me think it might be an 800 Trap?. Can you tell me anything about it please?
@fullchoke012 жыл бұрын
It will be an 800 w trap, was just the importers fuller firearms having everything they brought in marked as stirling to denote them as their products, they did it with rifles scopes etc

i have a miroku serial number series starting with 52, it doesnt say charles daly and it has some gold inlay in the BC Miroku lettering and a cap on the pistol grip, what year and what grade/model number do you think it is? it is beautiful and hardly shot at all. I picked it up for 800 bucks a few years back on a whim. Regards, EJ

Sorry to hear that you felt you needed to listen to the video long enough to the point you couldn't bear it any longer. You're more then welcome to mute it. I suppose that's one of the bonuses of a video, you can have it with or without sound, or skip it altogether. Hope you enjoy watching some of our other videos.
