Picked up a a new ‘73, Miroku. The wood is very nice and they didn’t add that dang tang safety. Going to work up some loads smokeless and black powder. Should be a hoot to shoot!

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Very nice! I want one! I’ve really enjoyed the Miroku stuff I have and had. Let us know how it shoots with pics please.
They shoot very well with 35-40 grs of O.E. 2Fg Accurate Mould # C215 16:1 alloy . 44-40 WCF
Randy, what is the rear sight you have there?
I've got the Marble Arms on mine and while it's functional and accurate the lack of any scales makes adjusting the sights for different ranges pure guess work.
Forgot to mention .. the new ‘73 is 44-40. Is that sight a MVA On your pic above? I need to pick up soule type sight here soon. Mid or long range but not sure which to get for silhouette.
Miroku makes quality stuff, but something about the gun that won the west being stamped "Made In Japan" doesn't seem quite right.
That is s beautiful gun. Jimmy Stewart would've been proud.
What about being made in Italy , I have a Uberti 1873 rifle and a 1886 rifle , lovely rifle makes me want to buy another one .
Well, at least the Italians have made some decent spaghetti westernsOriginally Posted by FLINTNFIRE
I liked some of those spaghetti westerns , the Ubertis I have are pretty nice , no complaints , and that is a nice sight .
Let's not forget that "The Magnificent Seven" was a remake of a yarn about Seven Samurai.Well, at least the Italians have made some decent spaghetti westerns
..
And also don’t forget that ‘Last Man Standing’, a gangster film with Bruce Willis was a remake of ‘Fistful of Dollars’, a spaghetti western with Clint Eastwood which was based on the Japanese samurai film ‘Yojimbo’ with Toshiro Mifune. All classics imo.
