Elliott Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) I bough this because it has nice engraving, but ive never actually had it out as i always pick up my other shotgun.Now because I've had to change jobs and it doesn't get used I think it's time to move it on as the money can be put to better use.Looking for £1000 ono Edited December 15, 2023 by Elliott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 The B125 doesn’t have a 3 piece fore end, and it looks nothing like my G3 325. I can understand the confusion though; it’s very similar to a Citori and the 325. As far as I’m aware the B125 parts were made in Japan by Miroku then sent to Belgium for hand finishing. The ejectors/kickers are pure Miroku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guns and won’t wear one out. Edited December 16, 2023 by Fargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miroku Matt Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 100% not a B125. B125’s have sliding forend and they have a 252 serial number prefix. That is a grade 3 325 or Citori so will have either a PV, PT, PR, PN, PP, PN, NM, NY, NX or NW serial. My guess would be around 1990/91.

The fore end of a B125 is sliding, and can only be removed via a screw, just like the B25. The gun in the OP’s photos, doesn’t resemble my G3 325 at all, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be one. There were variations on a theme though, as they say, and I’ve seen custom B25’s with sliding as well as 3 piece fore ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
