Miroku of Japan, has been making fine firearms for a long time, as stated before, the Howa 1500, which was also the S&W 1500 and the Weatherby Vanguard, I owned a Weatherby MK22 made there, a Browning BL22 and Bar .22 takedown, all quality and is it not the Irony of the century such a good manufacturer, cannot sell to its own people??? Miroku also manufactured the highly sought after Daley shotguns and some Browning over unders.
Now to the thread drift, trading, selling guns that was a good or bad decision.
God bless my wife, who in EARLY marriage, saw me taking a gun to trade at the gun show, she asked me, why I was trading it, " don't you like it ? " I said yes, but maybe I will see something I like more, and can use this for trade, she said, well then, why don't you just buy the other gun then? As most of you have seen at least 75% of my collection, the rest is history. I have definitely sold some pigs in my life, I don't intend to own anymore, but sometimes the tabloids get to you, I now own a NAA Guardian in .32acp, it is a pig, but was a gift, I should just send it back and get it repaired, won't fire a round on a bet, but it is cute, the Beretta Tomcat, though is a hoss, at 100 bills. I am a walking, talkiing, blue book of gun values, I rarely buy something I need, because I already own those, I just look for deals, and buy them. My backup retirement.
