Has anyone got to handle one of these guns. They look pretty nice.

I would certainly like to see one of the new '73's since they've done away with that tang safety and rebounding hammer.

Interesting. Miroku makes top notch guns, there's no doubt. Unfortunately looks like it's a CAS focus what with the sole .357/.38 chambering. For the not unlofty price, I would like to see more calibers - big bores (a couple .44s, .45) as well s .32-20). Would also like to see a genuine saddle ring carbine as well as a proper (round barreled) 16" "trapper."

Good looking collection Armybrat. I have one original been in my family 4 generations was my great grandad. Shot it when I was kid in the 60"s my grandpa took me to the farm let me try it out. I even have the bullet mold and powder horn. I have letter from Winchester it left factory in 1891. Grandpa said his daddy traded a shotgun for it back at his home in Cross Plains Tx.
