![]() Even after waterfowl hunters were limited to three shotshells, it was still more firepower than a single-shot or double gun. The Auto-5 and the U.S-made Remington Model 11 (Browning sold the design rights of the A-5 to the American gunmaker) revolutionized shotguns, because hunters could go afield with a gun that held five rounds instead of one or two. The Auto-5 Becomes Iconic The original A-5 was built into the late 1990s. In the hand, their balance is perfect, and as one has come to expect from Miroku, the finish is impeccable.Ĭlick on one of the links below for more details on the range of Mirokus available from Essex Gun.And when Browning couldn’t strike deals with Winchester or Remington to build the Auto-5, he naturally turned to FN and the “Belgian-made Browning” was born. ![]() ![]() Standard models have an 'old silver' finish and are all 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. Miroku barrels are internally chromed, except in the choke area, which allows the owner to adjust the choke as required. Each load-bearing part also undergoes a thermal treatment which further enhances the gun's durability. The nitride finish on the action and the blueing of the barrels increase their resisitance to wear, corrosion and other signs of ageing. All Miroku shotguns have actions forged from a single piece of steel thereby guaranteeing fundamental structural integrity. ![]() Of this heritage, the Miroku guns are technically perfect and pleasing to the eye.īefore leaving the factory, all Miroku shotguns sold in Europe have to pass a stringent accuracy and reliability test involving the use of an electronic pattern plate, as well as the CIP (International Gunpowder Committee) tests which are renown for their rigorous standards.įor strength, action and barrels are made from selected chrome-molybdenum alloyed steels. Having been making guns since 1893, Miroku not only benefits from a great gun-maiking experience, but also from the Japanese tradition of precision work with steel and wood. ![]()
