A good gunsmith tuned up my Miroku made 1886 for me....best trigger and action feel I've ever experienced with a lever gun and I've played with an original 86 as well ! I have a very old 1894 with nickle steel octagon barrel in 25-35 that is a gunsafe queen.....very loose action , crappy trigger , but I love the rifle ! My Miroku made 1892 came with a very acceptable trigger and while I am not partial to the tang safety and rebound hammer its still a good shooter and is quality built ! My Marlin 1895 cowboy is a great shooter with cast bullets but the workmanship is not as good as the Miroku made Winchester brand rifles from what I see !
