With expertise in producing two similar John Browning designs - the Model 1886 and the Model 1892 - the factory was able to tool up and begin production of the new Model 94 in 2010. That was not the end of the revival of historic Winchesters. In 2013, the legendary model 1873 began production at the Miroku factory to much industry fanfare. Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Model 1892 Deluxe Octagon rifle made by Miroku of Japan. The rifle has a 24 ¼” octagon barrel, a fancy Grade III/IV checkered stock, and is chambered in.45 Colt. BC Miroku, 20 ga., SxS, Model 351A, SN/191983. Can someone tell me the date of manufacture please?

Miroku Corporation (株式会社ミロク, Kabushiki Kaisha Miroku) (OSE: 7983) is a Japanesefirearms manufacturer located in Nankoku, Kōchi Prefecture. Their products include shotguns produced for Browning Arms Company and rifles licensed by Winchester Firearms.^[3] In European markets, these products are sold under both the Miroku and Browning brand names. Charles Daly Firearms of the United States imported Miroku over/under shotguns throughout the 1960s to early 1970s. Afterwards, Miroku found a new outlet for the over/under models under Browning, explaining the similarities from late models imported by Daly to early Browning Citori Type 1 models. This also coincides with FN and Miroku's joint buyout of Brownings stock in 1977.

Miroku manufactured a few different models of handguns between the 1962 to 1968, though these were not widely distributed. Among the most common is the 'Liberty Chief' model, .38caliberrevolver.^[4] They briefly manufactured copies of the Browning BL22, a .22lever-action rifle, under the name of Miroku ML22. This model was popular with Australianrabbithunters due to its low price and a high magazine capacity of 15 rounds.

Miroku's guns manufactured for Browning are sold in markets where Browning-branded counterparts are scant or unavailable. Miroku also produce, under license through Olin Corporation and Browning, the Winchester's famed lever-action and falling-block action rifles.

The company's flagship product, the MK38 Teague, has features such as a back-bored barrel and an extended choke associated with shotguns in the Browning and Beretta product lines.^[5]
