Well,
I got my "new" trap gun shipped in this week. It's a B.C. Miroku o/u 12 ga. with 30" barrels, MC stock and ventilated rib. It's not a Citori clone, it doesn't have automatic eject, it just lifts the shells out of the chamber with one central piece instead of the two ejectors, and it does not have selectable barrels, but is single trigger, inertia set on top barrel. It's a type 3 top lever spring model. No markings other than B.C. Miroku on the bottom of the receiver and 2 3/4" 12 ga. on one side of the barrel, Kochi, Japan on the other. Very solid, excellent condition, surprisingly light. It has fixed chokes, Full over Improved Modified, and true to my father's B.C. Miroku O/U field gun, the Improved Mod. choke patterns as tight or tighter than my Briley Full Choke. The Full Choke registers in the extra full/turkey full range. Dad's is choked F/F and will literaly hang/smoke targets from 30 yds behind the trap house. I'm very pleased with my first dedicated trap gun for $435 shipped! I haven't gotten to put into on targets yet, but hopefully will this week.
