This is not because of any kind of inertia on Miroku’s part, simply because there has been no need. The MK 6000, based on the venerable Citori 425, is no exception although the design of subsequent models of many Miroku guns has changed little over the years. The development of the hugely popular Citori over-and-under is important because the design has formed the basis of most Miroku guns ever since. This was thanks to Miroku’s build processes, although even then half of the work still needed to be done by hand.
It proved possible to produce the new Citori for half the Superposed’s price while retaining comparable performance and quality. An important development was the creation of a new gun based on Browning’s original Superposed model, then built in Belgium, which was eventually named the Citori. The greater part of the production of Browning guns had evolved into being split between Japan and Belgium, with Miroku producing the majority of over-and-under guns. It was at the beginning of the 1970s that its reputation was enhanced by a partnership with Browning, the renowned American firearms manufacturer. The Miroku shares Browning’s famous and durable lock-up system and this MK 6000 has an extended trigger tang Partnership
