MIROKU 12G OVER AND UNDER MODEL 9000 SHOTGUN.
12g Over and Under Model 9000 Miroku shotgun and a TRULY STUNNING example. There are very few of these about to begin with. Even so this MUST be one of the bonniest guns they ever produced. In this or any other version from Miroku.
This is a Sporting set up with a 10mm top rib and double bead sight beads. Side ribs are also ventilated. This keeps the balance and weight of the gun in perfect ratio. Barrels come in at 29 1/2″ with a FULL set of original multi chokes.
Currently with a 14 ¼” pull (inc. the recoil pad) the trigger is actually adjustable for length. EASILY altered to suit a variety of shooters. The machine engraved action has classic scenes of flighting game birds. Duck to the left, Woodcock to the bottom and Pheasant to the right. 2 ¾” (70mm) chambers and a single selective trigger just complete the specification on this GREAT LOOKING and CLASSIC Miroku.
They WERE the high end models at the time and usually came with grade 5 as standard. Recently been through UK proof as this came back from Australia. (Not something required or done with firearms down there, as with a lot of countries). It IS a REAL head turner of a gun and still in excellent, little used condition.

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. APPARENTLY 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, TRY and help speed up availability. I WILL suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then 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.
