Lucasnorth Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi all. Can anyone identify this old miroku please. I’m guessing it’s a skeet gun. 26” barrels. Chokes seem to be very open. Trap style forend. bc miroku on the underneath. thanks lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Think it could be a 800 skeet gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockybasher Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Had one ! My first O/U, had it from new in c1978, and used for ISU skeet and game for quite some time. Nice gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Hello, try a photo on the serial numbers etc, and barrel choke markings Edited April 15, 2021 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueflame Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Looks like a Miroku 800S Skeet as it has a silver finish and beaver tail forend. If the rib is about 12mm wide then it’s a 800SW ( W for wide rib) All the Miroku 800 series were very popular in the 70’s as they were very good guns and a good copy of the Browning B25 Belgium hand finished guns , but at fraction of the cost. And the rest is as they say history, Browning bought the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Think its possibly an 800S, mine is an 800SW sporting with 28 inch barrels. Edited April 15, 2021 by old'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasnorth Posted April 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 Thanks for all the replies chaps. I used to have a 800 HSW many years ago, wish I still had it, I just saw this in the gun shop yesterday on the counter as some lady’s husband had just passed away and brought his gun in to be sold, most looked like old scrap, offered him the ticket price of £100 and bought it. It was just for use on the pigeons really so condition was not my main concern, iv given it a good clean now. Looks to be pretty decent wood to be fair, or it will be when I strip it and re oil it, and get the dents out and probably put a new pad on it, it’s a 12mm rib. Iv enclosed a few pictures. Many thanks. lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
