You have a wider rib of 7.7mm (not 10mm as manual stated), serrated on top with 17 ventilated spaces beneath to maximise air flow and increase cooling. The bores are over-bored, so less restriction of the shot column that transcends into less recoil and more even patterns.

These were on the tight side, ¾ and full and you could always retro fit some Teague or Briley chokes if you wanted. Why over complicate an already great shooting design and it saves all that hassle deciding the best choke.
I had 30-inch barrels fitted, but you can get 28- and 32-inchers too and these were fixed choked, which some may baulk at but I can see the reasoning behind it.
Overall, a really great looking and wellmade action for the money. On the base, you also have engraved ‘Miroku MK60 Sport’, denoting this model. The cut engraving adorns the whole action and is very well executed and combines scroll and foliate designs to action sides, top lever and trigger guard alike. The whole action is coin finished that sets off the engraving well – understated and elegant. The trigger is non-adjustable but well swept back to the rear of the trigger guard and as such is a delight to use with its grey finished smooth touch. To operate the barrel selector, the safety needs to be on, i.e. The top lever is chequered to both sides and as you open the action there is no auto safety, which I like and the firing mechanism is the inertia type.
You have the ejectors in the Deeley type forend and they are extremely positive and everything is just so nicely made and finished. Add to this the large single piece locking bar that engages the rear barrel lug on closing and you have an elegant, fine looking and bomb proof action to barrel union. You have a solid cross pin pivot that really locks the barrels in solidly, with plenty of life to it after 10s of thousands of firings and the typical rear locking lugs protruding through the base of the action. Yes, fairly weighty but all the better for it, as the handling is not affected but strength is enhanced. You instantly notice the quality on this MK60 it’s an all real steel with minimal machining marks, if any at all. This MK60 is certain a KISS shotgun, (Keep It Simple, Stupid), or in the literal term, as she’s a real beauty, being a grade 5 version. Miroku`s association with Browning is no coincidence and they continue to serve each other well I am more familiar with their X Bolt and A Bolt stalking rifles. The MK60 design is certainly a continuation of the Browning clone action design, harking back to the The fixed chokes are to my liking and have a perfect finish Sixties. Hailing from Japan, they continue today, producing not only guns of quality but excellent fit and finish at a realistic price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.This is another trip down memory lane for me, as Miroku, in my teenage years, was one of the big players when it came to shotguns and had a great reputation.
