Painted Mohawk SASS 77785 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Howdy Not for Cowboy...Interested to know if anyone knows of a Miroku SXS 'Guru' that could help me with a 12g that I've just bought, beautiful gun which I've sourced most of the info except the year of manufacture as the Kochi factory in Japan was destroyed in 1971 & all records were lost, pretty sure it's before that. Does a Miroku model 200 SXS ring a bell, very similar to the Browning BSS...thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told mine is a model 200 but can't find any info at all, they did make the 500's with extractors or ejectors with the double trigger, did they make a single trigger ejector I'm not sure, I have the silver trigger which was later changed to gold..it's a fact finding mission that's for sure !!!
