MIROKU

Miroku changed its name from Miroku Kosakusho to Miroku Firearms Mfg. Co. in 1945. In 2003, the company changed from Miroku Firearms Mfg. Co. to Miroku Co. and then subsequently went back to the Miroku Mfg. Co. business name.
Shotguns marked Miroku only without another trademark listing represent that period of manufacture before Miroku began manufacturing shotguns for other companies (i.e. Charles Daly, Browning, and others). Most guns marked Miroku were only made on a limited basis and although somewhat rare, collector desirability to date has been minimal. Since model notations were not specified in most instances (many shotguns were made to test market demand), a model rundown is virtually impossible. Values can be approximately ascertained by comparing a Miroku shotgun of similar gauge, features, engraving/wood, and condition to an equivalent Japanese Charles Daly model. Miroku also manufactured revolvers up until approximately 1964 which may be designated Liberty Chief - limited importation into the U.S.
Current manufacturer established during 1893, located in Kochi, Japan. Miroku currently manufactures long arms for Browning and Winchester (please refer to individual sections), in addition to their own line of firearms mostly distributed in Europe.
