Charles Daly Firearms of the United States imported Miroku over/under shotguns throughout the 1960s to early 1970s. Afterwards, Miroku found a new outlet for the over/under models under Browning, explaining the similarities from late models imported by Daly to early Browning Citori Type 1 models. This also coincides with FN and Miroku's joint buyout of Brownings stock in 1977.
Miroku manufactured a few different models of handguns between the 1962 to 1968, though these were not widely distributed. Among the most common is the "Liberty Chief" model, .38caliberrevolver.[4] They briefly manufactured copies of the Browning BL22, a .22lever-action rifle, under the name of Miroku ML22. This model was popular with Australianrabbithunters due to its low price and a high magazine capacity of 15 rounds.
Miroku's guns manufactured for Browning are sold in markets where Browning-branded counterparts are scant or unavailable. Miroku also produce, under license through Olin Corporation and Browning, the Winchester's famed lever-action and falling-block action rifles.
The company's flagship product, the MK38 Teague, has features such as a back-bored barrel and an extended choke associated with shotguns in the Browning and Beretta product lines.[5] Miroku products are usually well-regarded by shooters for their quality fit and finish.
