MIROKU 12G OVER AND UNDER MK60 SPORT SHOTGUN.
12G Miroku Model MK60 GRADE 1 Sport Over and Under 12g Shotgun in almost new condition. Its only real blemish to note is a small patch of damage to right handed area of grip chequering. This may well all but lift out with a little steam. The top lever still well to the right when the gun is closed. It does not take long or much use before that settles in to a central position.
As said, a standard Grade 1 example with a GOOD Strong Straight Grained 14 ½” (370mm) Stock. This is all but straight. Classic Tulip Pattern Forend to finish off.
Scroll Work Engraving to the Bright Finished Boxlock Ejector Action and a Single Selective Trigger.
30” (760mm) Fixed Choke Barrels detailed 1* and 2*. As such Full to the top and ¾ below. A Raised and Ventilated Top Rib featuring a double sight bead.
Overall the gun finishes at 47 ¼” (1200mm) overall and tips scales at 7 Lbs 8 ½ oz (3.417 Kg).
SUPERBLY Well Made Guns and truly EXCELLENT Value for money. Many consider a Miroku a far better buy than an actual Browning and / or their main competition. Take just a decent look at them and you may well find you agree.
New, the back end of 2021 circa £1780. The end of 2025 and £1940.

THE STEEL SHOT DEBACLE?
FIRST THING: Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.
That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream. Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!
HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?
THEN THERE ARE more and more Non-Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern-day shooting. IF it’s so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters, how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:
NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
