Chris 1985 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Afternoon all. Looking at buying a second hand MK60 as it fits well, I'm not too worried about m/c and its a reasonable price. According to the serial no its dated 1997. Only thing is I've seen a few comments online about rust in the chambers being an issue? If anyone can confirm this or offer any other thoughts on this gun I'd be grateful for any help as I'm still a newbie! Atb Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Think the older guns May have had an issue with rust if not looked after right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvEr_KiLL Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) i had an old mk38 trap that was around that age, chrome lined bores and i kept them spotless, never had any rust issuses with it, just keep the bores clean and get the pastic residue out and they should be fine edit. it was alot easier to keep them clean than my beretta i have now! takes me bloody ages to get the the plastic **** out!!

Chris 1985 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Cheers both. I guess it must just be down to how they were cared for. Still interested to hear if anybody's got/had an MK60. Trying to find out about any faults as I've sort of convinced myself to buy it already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wj939 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Had 3 in different grades and gauges, great guns. Only problem is a fairly common one and that's pitted bottom firing pins. Cost me £30 to replace but to be honest they will go on and on even with slight cratering. In terms of reliability they are the same action as the browning 325 425 525 etc. Miroku make most of the brownings these days. In my opinion they are the best value for money guns on the market.

Alycidon Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Some agricultural chemicals are bad for unlined barrels, never had a problem with the 3 Miroku's I have owned over the years though. Just make sure you clean and oil the bore every time before putting it away. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brent52 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 the reason miroku & browning have pitted bottom firing pins is they rupture the primer on the cartridge & blow back. that's why I shoot beretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
