Miroku Baby Frames
Is anyone well versed on the Miroku Baby Frame 28 gauges?
Scarce, almost rare. Anybody have one? Thanks https://i.imgur.com/1JzLa4F.png |
I have had a few Daly baby frame 410 and 28’s, is that what you are referring to? the problem I had was they have a V hammer/main spring and they break, they are a bear to replace. Other than that they are great and reasonable priced small gauge O/U’s.

Are we talking about the same gun? Twice the cost of an older Citori so not exactly "reasonably priced". Thanks |
I'd never heard of them. Interesting.

Bobby,
There were a few articles on the baby frame 28s in the late 70s or early 80s. Somewhere around 200 were made although some people say there may have been 1000. Here's a link that provides some information http://leeroysramblings.com/Gun%20Ar..._shotguns.html. Ken |
I have checked through several old Gun Digests and see under the Charles Daly over/unders that had been offered just in 12- and 20-gauge in 1967 and 1968 they list a 28-gauge with 26-inch barrel for $50 more than the 12- and 20-gauges. No other elaboration on the 28-gauge. A few years later they add the 28-gauge and .410-bore that are listed as weighing the same as the 20-gauges.

I had a Pigeon Grade baby frame 28" 28 gauge, foolishly sold it. I had no idea they were "rare".
