Hello Matt, As you know I have a certain affinity towards the Miroku and this gun is beautiful…….thanks for bringing up the subject of wood densities on the MK38, it’s hard to believe that there could be a difference of up to 10 ounce’s between several examples of the same model. In my “bucket list” of shotguns to acquire the MK38 Grade 5 Sporter is at the top…..I will definitely need your expertise in acquiring one when the opportunity presents itself. Great review as always, no other gentleman on TH-cam displays their expertise as you do! Michael
Really nice example of the famed Miroku President. In one shot early in the video it showed the barrels stamped at 18.5 and later you said 729inch and 18.4. I was under the impression that all Miroku of that era were proofed in the UK using imperial markings so was this one proofed elsewhere and then imported I wonder.
Thank you for your comment. Regarding the bores I will have to check this as the gun was certainly proved in the UK. Great spot though. Kind regards, Matthew
@@eastfieldgunroom no worries, I’m not trying to find fault , love the new channel and the classic OU’s, it’s just the thing with those early Miroku’s having the English proof in inches
Proof marks on barrel modern day ,not old 1970 s (3 1/4 tons per sq inch} and usually along chamber on barrel just above the fence ? and so does the barrel serial number correspond to the same number as on the action ? inside fore end serial number in wood looks different again ? never seen solid top ribs on any old miroku s , all vent , with old two holed ejectors ?
Thank you for your comment. Yes the gun has been proofed in the UK but I am not certain why. I can only assume it was during the barrel transformation as per the G13 I reviewed previously. Kind regards, Matthew
Really enjoying your channel. Have you ever seen the Miroku side by sides? Also maybe you should invite some subscribers to submit pictures and stories of their special shotguns and spend a few minutes discussing them on your videos.
Thank you for your comment Mike. Yes I have seen a number of Miroku side by sides and should I come across one I will be sure to grab it. Will consider your suggestion about subscribers too. Kind regards, Matthew
Another cracking mirouki, why don't mirouki make real high end guns like the president in todays market, I know we all love the mk38 and mk11 etc but the brand is capable of so much more
Thank you for your comment. Some of the President guns are still manufactured today but as far as I am aware are only available in Australia. Kind regards, Matthew
Thank you for your comment. The stock was shortened a little in order for the wooden extension to be added. I am not sure if the balance would have been that much different but couldn't say for sure. Kind regards, Matthew
When you look at what a Miroku has to offer, it's crazy when you see how much people pay to buy a supposed best gun that is nowhere near as mechanically hard
Another excellent video. 👌
Thank you for your comment. I am pleased you are enjoying the videos. Kind regards, Matthew

Great reviews, would be nice to have a bit of an idea of values if that's possible for future videos.

Thank you for your comment. Both beautiful guns in their own right. Kind regards, Matthew
Great start to the new channel. How about some sxs content?
Thank you for your comment. There may be some s x s content in the future yes. Kind regards, Matthew

Perfectly balanced on the hinge pin, wonder what it did before someone stuck the 1” of 3x2 on the end of it. 😂
