My mate was always running over seahorses on his Grifter when he lived in Oz. Had to take his Spokey Dokeys off as they were getting smelly. Interesting variant. Thanks for sharing Matt 👍
Thank you for your comment. As I said in the video it is a common problem in Oz. I understand that in order to combat the issue they are using deeper tread tyres to give the seahorses a fighting chance 😂. Kind regards, Matthew
Very thorough review, I was told Australian's have had big input into Miroku models ie MK10, mainly stock shape on newer models. Miroku o/u are competitively priced and have a big slice of the market, especially compared to Euro guns. A newer shooter can buy a gun with all the features to compete competitively a reasonable price. With an adjustable comb and correct LOP a MK10 trap can be used for sporting and social skeet.
Interesting... Overall, I like all aspects of the MK10 trap spec. Whatever brand badge is presented, the model is a certified clay basher. Having an airline case was to me a very nice touch. A lot of folks in the US replace their ABS cases with something similar to what was shown anyway. The engraving... I'm not sure whether it is to Aussie taste or it's just "something is better than nothing" but I am not a fan. To me, it looks like something you would see on a cheaper Italian or Turkish gun. Modern Browning Citori low grade trap variants in the US have a plain action save for the obligatory "Citori" engraved in cursive on the side. Great video and thank you for sharing firearms that some of us would have never known existed!
that is a good looking (apart from the bike spoked sea horses !! ) gun, I am not sure why there are so many differences between Miroku;s sold in different country's, I see no reason that gun would not sell just as well in the UK (apart from the engraving)
Browning is by far and large the dominant brand in Uk, here in Aus good luck seeing 1 browning per 10 Miroku's, i'd argue browning won't allow the Mk10 in UK as it would kill the 525 range sales
Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. For many years I thought that B.C stood for 'Browning corporation'. It is however the initials of the first of second president of the Miroku company. Bukichi Miroku and Ido Chiyoki. Kind regards, Matthew
Would love to hear your take on why Browning puts porting and a gloss finish on the American guns and your models have a much more attractive oil finish and none of that deal breaking porting. If Browning would stop that nobody in America would buy the Beretta in the sub 5k market
Thank you for your comment. I find it astonishing that the US models are so different. I get a number of enquiries regarding UK spec models and how easy it is to export. In the UK we have zero ported models. Kind regards, Matthew
You can buy a grade 3 Mk10 competiton sporter for 2,700 aus, cheaper than a base model 686, a standard 525 costs about 2,400, Miorku is by far the dominant clay shooting gun here
Thank you for your comment. As the MK11 is a machine made gun the barrels are interchangeable. There may be a degree of fitting required where the the forend is concerned. Kind regards, Matthew

Thank you for your comment. I really like the MK10 range of guns. Kind regards, Matthew
Although not a big fan of adjustable combs, it is a beautiful gun!

Such a nice thing!

Thank you for your comment. I agree that this is a great bit of kit and would do well here in the UK. Watch this space.... Kind regards, Matthew

A great video matt.what does the b.c. stand for on miroku guns?

Given all the extras are Australian Miroku’s more expensive than their Uk cousins? And are Browning as big in Australia as they are in the UK?
Thank you for your comment. Mirokus are cheaper I believe but are more popular than Brownings. Kind regards, Matthew

Dear Santa, I've been a good boy all year...........................
Can anyone tell me if a mk11 32" and a mk10 30" can you interchange the barrels. Thanks
