A Brief History of Browning & Miroku Partnership..
The legendary relationship between the Browning Company and the world-renowned
firearms manufacturer Miroku.
The Browning company has always had a tradition of using the finest manufacturers
in the world to produce their designs. This began with John Moses Browning who
established the original manufacturing relationship with Fabrique Nationale in
Belgium at the end of the 19th Century. So it was only natural that the Browning
company would be on the lookout for a similar manufacturer to enhance the
manufacturing capabilities of Browning in the second half of the 20th century.
As told in this story, that manufacturer turned out to be the Miroku company of
Kochi Japan. It was all a mix of a little bit of luck along with some remarkable
foresight by Browning and Miroku management.
At times people act surprised when they learn that Browning is now making the
Citori, the BLR or the X-Bolt in the Miroku factory in Japan.
But the fact is they have always been made there. Even today, production of the
Browning line is split largely between Miroku in Japan and Belgium/Portugal in
Europe. Only Buck Mark, 1911-22 and 1911-380 pistols are made in the US.
In 1962 Mr. Ido -- from Miroku -- visited the United States in order to explore more
opportunities for expanding the exports of Miroku guns.
One person he met with was a Mr. Dakin, owner of the Dakin Company. Dakin’s
trading company already had an arrangement with Miroku and had been working
with Miroku on future projects to expand the market for their products.
Dankin arranged an introduction between Mr. Ido and Browning President, John Val
Browning.The meeting was a sucess - the rest is interesting history.

The Browning-Miroku friendship is stronger than ever and is legendary among those
who track the histories of great firearms brands and global relationships
Today, Miroku is recognized as a top tier manufacturer of quality firearms world-wide
. And they are largely responsible for the manufacturing success of many of the most
important Browning products of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Over a century of expert craftsmanship has been refined and perfected since 1897,
the year the first Browning gun was made, and incorporated into this gun...
Since then millions of Browning shotguns have been produced for hunters, target
shooters and collectors, manufactured to theexacting standards of this esteemed name.
Browning guns are steeped in heritage, having introduced not just the semi-automatic
shotgun, but also the Over-and-Under shotgun, renowned for its efficiency, elegance
and impeccable technical features.
The Browning name is now synonymous with guns, with owners across the world
deriving great pleasure from their shotgun day after day.
A once in a lifetime chance to win a very special firearm..
The Consignor has set a RESERVE of $12000 on this unique firearm..
