Several kinds of knives are regulated, too. In all, there are about 170,000 gun owners in Japan. Miroku himself only owns one of the shotguns made in his factory. On the other hand, it’s very difficult to own a gun there.
When you go through airline security in Japan, an attendant is waiting for you with a shoehorn on the other side of the scanner. Japan was remarkably clean and the people were very polite. I wrote a column about it for the magazine but I never shared any of my pictures. Miroku is one of only two remaining gun makers in Japan (Howa, which makes mostly rifles, is the other). If you are unable to find the Miroku shotgun you are after please contact The Barn so our staff can assist you further.A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to travel to Kochi, Japan, to see the Miroku factory, where Japanese Brownings – including the Citori - and Miroku shotguns are made. Each load-bearing part also undergoes a thermal treatment which further enhances the gun's durability. Miroku barrels are internally chromed, except in the choke area, which allows the owner to adjust the choke as required. Standard models have an old silver finish and all are engraved, whilst the higher luxury Grades have profuse hand-finished engraving, continuing a centuries-old tradition.įor all Miroku shotguns, quality is constant, their strength is legendary and they are safe in operation. In the hand, their balance is perfect, and as one has come to expect from Miroku, the finish is impeccable. The nitride finish on the action and the blueing of the barrels increase their resistance to wear, corrosion and other signs of ageing. For strength, action and barrels are made from selected chome-molybdenum alloyed steels. All Miroku shoguns have actions forged from a single piece of steel thereby guaranteeing fundamental structural integrity.
