Make: Miroku in Japan, for Browning

Model: 42 High Grade, Grade V

Serial Number: 00492NZ982

Year of Manufacture: 1991

Gauge: .410, 2 ½ & 3” Shells

Action Type: Pump / Slide Action, Tube Magazine Fed Takedown Shotgun

Barrel Length: 26”

Choke: Fixed Full

Sights / Optics: There is a steel bead fixed to the front of the ventilated rib. The rib meets at an extension slotted onto the receiver; the tops are serrated for glare reduction.

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are a two-piece checkered, gloss-finished select walnut set. The forend has double diamond and surrounding checkers on both sides. The butt stock has checkering on the pistol grip with a fluted comb, blued steel grip cap and textured black plastic buttplate. The stocks have only a few faint marks. The checkering is well defined. There are no chips or cracks. The LOP measures 13 7/8” from the front of the trigger to the back of the butt plate; the plate has no notable wear or damage. The stocks rate in Excellent overall condition.

Type of Finish: Blue with Gold Accents

Finish Originality: Original

Bore Condition: The bore is bright. There is no erosion. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 10 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This shotgun retains about 98% of its metal finish. There is a cluster of tiny marks on the top-left of the receiver below the rib extension. The action shows very faint operational wear and wear from assembly/disassembly. There is some stubborn dried grease on the bolt. Otherwise, there are only light handling marks. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear. Overall, this shotgun rates in Excellent condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. This shotgun takes down in seconds for easy storage and maintenance. We have not fired this shotgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.

Our Assessment: What a beautiful shotgun! When Browning had these shotguns produced by Miroku, Winchester had discontinued both the Model 12 and 42, making this a first opportunity for some and a last opportunity for many to get their hands on new production guns. Some of this production run was given over to standard Grade I guns, but there were also a limited number of Grade V guns produced. The production runs for the 20 and 28 gauge Model 12s were separate while there was some overlap of production of the Model 42. These Grade V Model 42s were produced from 1991-1993 and only 6,000 were made. This Grade V is in Excellent condition. From the select walnut stocks to the beautiful engraving and gold accents, this shotgun will take a prized place in any collection. If you’re a collector of Winchester or Browning shotguns, don’t let this set pass you by, this is a visually striking homage to the best .410 ever made. Please see our photos and good luck!
