Hey All...
I'm in the mood for a 1892 and a 1873. NO...NOT for cowboy action shooting but to just plink around with.
In the past I had a Uberti Yellow Boy(1886) and an iron frame Henry....the Henry was rather unique with the way you top loaded it and moved your left hand(holding the bullet carrier)and the spring tag moved down as the bullets were shot.
Anyways...
Miroku Winchester:
The only experience I have ever had was when my dad purchased an 1895 Winchester from Fred Baker's Firearms sometime back in the 1990's. Fit and finish were great and it shot well.
What I've been looking at is the Miroko Winchester 1892 Carbine and the 1873 Carbine. I know the Win 1892 has a safety on the tang just below the hammer and the 1873 is original.
Give me all the Pro and Con on these Japanese made guns When I handle them in the store and see youtube reviews they seem like a nice gun.

I just may have to get a Miroku Win 1895 also!!!
The Italian Guns are next...I'm posting twice so I won't overload my original post with pictures.
