Miruko MK38 trigger

[Fat Dog]

I have a been using a MK38 sporter for sporting clays for a few months now and have been getting on ok with it, however, I have felt that every now and then the trigger feals very heavy to pull causing me to 'flinch' on the shot. Is it possible to get the trigger mechanism polished to make the trigger pulls more consistent ?

You must be cursed with the dreaded 'light touch' syndrome. Most people pull shotgun triggers as if they're switching on an electric drill but some of us feel the trigger and the slightest change is noticeable. The variable trigger pull was the main reason I gave up on my Miroku.

 

Mirokus are good guns but what they're based on could hardly be called 'a design'. More like a couple of guys in a shed with some good ideas, a few lumps of metal and a file - back in 1925 I believe. For simplicity, the hammers pivot from the bottom so the sears are hung from the top strap. Unfortunately this means the trigger blade is about as far away from the sears as possible and can only operate through as series of links and pivots. The best that can be said about Miroku/Browning triggers is that they release the hammers onto the firing pins every time.

 

A good trigger man can remove the slack and lighten the pulls, whether the variable pull weight, predominantly on the bottom barrel, can be dealt with is another matter.
