I've owned quite a few Miroku Boxlock SxS shotguns over the years including Brownings, Charles Daly, Western Field and Miorku branded guns.
The current one I shoot is a 20ga Miroku 500 with 2 triggers, extractors, vent rib and 28" barrels. It also has a good bit of case coloring left on the receiver. I prefer the 2 trigger / extractor version that the non Browning guns have. The Brownings generally have a single non-selective trigger and ejectors. I'd love to have an English straight grip stock, but it's only available on the Browning guns as far as I know. Some of the Charles Daly guns have nice stocks, but not as nice as the Brownings. I have never experienced a failure of any kind with a Miroku built SxS.

I found a Miroku 500E with Birmingham proof marks from 1964 last summer at a Cabelas. 12ga, double trigger, ejectors with an english straight grip stock. Only 6 3/4 lbs. I don't know if they made one like this in 20ga.
