I am not bothered by wood or engraving so my Grade 1 suits me very well. I bought it 3 years old for £1250 and when I consider the performance , handling and sheer shooting pleasure it provides I just can’t believe how cheap they are. £ pound for £ pound they cannot be beaten
I've shot a 32" grade 5 ,3/8 -3/8ths teagued choked customised mk38 sporter/trap for 15+ years. Its had thousands of rounds through it, and it's never let me down. The best bang for your buck you can get. IMO
So glad i bought a Teague choked MK38 trap from yourselves. Had the stock extended and reshaped to suit me better (i’m 6ft 4”) and now realise it a better gun than i’ll Ever be a shooter. No reason I can foresee to change it
I agree with you all the way, I have a mk 38 grade one and also an mk 38 grade five and again I agree with you you can't beat them.
I love my MK38 sporter 30" barrels, grade 1 with 3/8th 3/8th choke. Suits me and I'm comfortable with it which is all that matters. New in 2013. I've shot many before and tried a few after but the Miroku is always tops for me.
I shoot an MK 38 gd5 32" adj trap long teague use 1/2 + 1/2 S&B super trap , deadly combo. Best gun out there 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍 .Great review David.
Love my MK38, just had my G5 fitted and it's even more of a dream to shoot. It's a 30" sporter with the beavertail, fatter fore-end. The schnabel is a bit too small in the hand for me. I prefer a heavier gun and I agree they are on the heavy side even with it balanced 50/50 at the hinge pin. Shot my Dad's G3 trap whilst mine was away and still smacks clays where I point it. Lovely no-nonsense guns and the G5's are great looking as well in my opinion. It's my only 12G in the cabinet for a reason - it does everything I want while looking good in the process!
It's all very well to say "Just buy another one", not every club shooter is able to afford a "spare" gun. Not a problem for sponsored or well heeled shooters.
I had a MK38 grade 3 trap gun with 30 inch barrels. I had it teague chocked. I sold it in the autumn 2021 to buy a browning 525 lightweight.
Some 22 months after selling my MK38 it was still for sale, and I decided to go and buy it back again. I should never have sold it in the first place!
i live in North Idaho, and have a 30" Browning Citori built in 2000 and it looks exactly the same as the MK38. Really like the old Citori, it sure puts on a show hammering them clays. A lot of guys have to get closer and take another look at my old Citori. Didn't realize that i was buying an old Miroku with a Browning Name.
I had to look up what a MK38 was to see which Browning clone we were discussing. That’s what brought me here.😉
I've never heard anyone knock a mk38 or any miroku truth
I've had a mirouki mk11 for the last 8 months and it's a lovely gun it's transformed my shooting, a mk38 is definitely on my shopping list this year
I will be buying an MK38 Grade 5 later this year. Just a great gun and price positioned perfectly.
Had the grade three two weeks now, love it 😊
Unbeatable! I’ve had Perazzi made for me, had dt10 and dt11 and K80.
Miroku is without doubt still number one for me. Current gun is 28 year old mk38 grd3 trap gun, worth almost nothing really. Would I shoot better by spending thousands more ? Nope. Been there, got the T shirt etc. Miroku, gun for life, I was told that decades ago, I ignored it. Bad move. So many championships and medals won with these guns. I should have listened to guys that knew. 😢
First over and under I’ve shot and I took to it instantly . Although a little heavy it compensates in smiles.
My G5 mk38 trap is awesome, beautiful wood--great engraving and an incredible balance. It ousted my late father's b2g as my favourite trap gun. When i shoot badly I know with utter certainty it's all on me, not the gun.
I regret selling my MK38 Grade 5 Trap, but I was moving to another country which meant I really needed the money and couldn’t. import the gun before I was legally resident.
Next episode is brawning 525 vs Mk38 thanks.
Have just ordered an Mk38 Gr1 Trap, my first trap gun. Something for retirement, but hey I’m not the golfing type . . . . . .😂
Mk 38, simply the best
Love my grd 5 trap, built like a tank, superb engineering, no need to spend thousands on a certain pontsie italian that begins with P !
I sold my MK38 grade 1 trap because I hated the wood. A very bad decision on my part. I shot a P B straight out of the carton. Im waiting on a new grade 5 to arrive with multi chokes and adjustable comb. my mk 10 HRT is a terrific gun to shoot and handles with beautiful balance. not unlike my perazzi's balance. another good presentation David.
Great video, I’m looking to buy my first gun and I think you have sold it to me, grade 1 for me I’m not bothered on any fancy detailing. Keep making the videos as there great.
I’ve got a 3800 SW Skeet 1980 with barrel weights I think this was the forerunner to the MK38
While I've not shot a MK38 , I've held one and I shoot a MK10 HRT .
Got to say for the $,£,€ its probably the best bang (pun intended) for your buck.
The forend irons more often than not require adjustment to get them to fit correctly.
Yes the sides forend wood can rub the barrels to .
It's morning here in the US 🇺🇸
Good morning everyone I love this gun but we have Browning
I have a 725. I wish I could get my hands on this one .
I think this will be my second gun, once I am more consistent with my shooting. I shoot skeet, or rather I try to shoot skeet lol.
Nice video David and team. I have an MK30 trap Grade 5 and I jst love the way it feels and moves. It is weighty but that fuller forend lends itself to a wonderfully controlled gun. I am very broad on the shoulder and muscular in the chest, arms etc but it feels so natural and apart from looking like a really good gun I love it. Nice to see that you have informed that the barells forends etc are interchangable, for some silly reason I did not realise that. What a fool be I. Anyway great vid and I would recomend the MK38 any day of the week. Cheers, looking forward to more videos...
So are the barrels for example on a beretta 694 interchangeable gun to gun? Never tried swapping parts on a mass produced shotgun. Unless some hand fitting is done I would have thought most mass produced gun should be interchangeable. Then if they dont that's not a bad thing right? Hand fitting surely is a positive thing.
The hard truth is, it's not English or Italian. But it's also pretty good.
Agreed David, I love mine. I shoot DTL and Sporting with it. I bought it because off the shelf it fitted and had has a great record 👌🏻
Nobody "knocks the Miroku 38" ........
The shotguns with the most medals in history are the Beretta dt11 and perazzis.
Nowadays… but Mirokus were very popular on the circuit before.
I’m about to get my mk38 grade 3. Have you done a review one one or will you do one? There is none on RUclips I can find and I think it would be beneficial. Love your videos they have helped me a lot. Thanks
Thanks for your nice comment and glad you like the channel there is a film about the new grd 3 on the channel have a look back a few months. Also if you give contactus@theshootingchannel.co.Uk we may be able to help you get a good deal on one. Thanks TSC team
7.50 you have mixed your forend terminology up. Trap schanbel😂
Sorry! Thanks for pointing it out, Im sure most people can see the difference
Not sure its won more medals than perazzi?
You said the grade 5 and the grade 1 trap gun had a "Trap Schnabel forend" .... surely it is a beavertail forend on those guns. The sporter has the Schnabel forend.
Yes this is correct, Sorry for the mistake
Can you please explain the significant differences between the MK38 and any Browning Citori sporting shotgun?
The new grade 3 sporter doesn’t come with flush and extended chokes, only extended. I can’t see why the barrels off a grade one would feel any different, isn’t the only difference that they don’t have the threaded hole in the mid-ribs for the little wooden pieces that make up the gap at the front of the fore-end? It is a great gun however.
I've been around shotguns long enough to have owned, shot, stripped and compared just about every brand under the sun past and present, for the money no gun touches a Miroku, facts are they will near run forever, and with some minor tweaks they can take you to highest levels, they aren't marketed like beretta or perazzi etc- but they will shoot as well as those guns 24/7, miroku to me are the yard stick by which others are measured, here in Aus you can get a grade 3 mk10/38 for 1500 pounds equiv, nothing touches it until you spend over twice the money here, and i've never shot a gun that did anything better
What I’m your view is it that makes a Miroku better than it’s Browning equivalent?
@@jamie3499 for starters the price gap,
For the price of a base citori/525 you can get an adjustable grade 3 Miroku, for the price of a grade 5 Miroku you get a grade 3 Browning, Miroku has better stock dimensions starting on lower grade guns- more cast/palm swells - features you don't get in Browning until a certain price point, Browning also cuts more costs where they can- recycled steel on certain models barrels, and then there is the elephant in the room- Miroku makes the guns, so it's pretty safe to say they try to out do the browning stamped guns- like how nikko did vs winchester 101, don't get me wrong Browning are good guns, and they come with more accessories but gun to gun Miroku is better
So I take from that you could do the same with a 525 as there made in the same factory by the same people on the same production line, you whoud think miroku was made in a different factory on planet zen the way people mystify them, I've had several miroku and browning guns and am sticking to my 525 sl
I have a browning 725 32" sporter with a trap forend and Ive always liked the Mk38 trap grade 5. Do Miroku have the same amount of cast compared to a Browning? My 725 had to be altered by a 1/8th"
Una belleza de arma amigos elegante
All the new trap MK 38 come with internal chokes
Aside from the wood, what is the difference between the MK38s and the MK70s? all I can tell is the comb height and furniture is different. Is there any difference in the action and barrels?
Stock dimensions, weight, barrel choking and forcing cones are main differenced through all models to mk38/mk10
So will mk38 trap barrels fit on my Ultra XS Pro?
What about the mk10?
Will you review the browning cxt
Not so sure about the interchangeable barrels, I tried to swap the barrels on my mk38 trap with my mk 38 sporter, neither gun would close
I tried it with my sporter and trap ones and they close perfectly without forcing them and with a perfect adjustment, I also swapped forearms and the same, they are totally interchangeable. Sporter one is a 2023 Gr1 model and 2024 Gr1 the trap one
Is the mk38s trigger mechanical or inertia??
Inertia.
it's the same gun just with different grade wood
3800 was a far better gun I my opinion, still got my 3800 going strong
Grade 6 ........better than them all!
It's the nut behind the butt ....but it helps if you have one that fits you
Typical Japanese ingenuity, interchangeable parts & quality engineering, just like their Motorcycles & vehicles.

As over rated as a Beretta 686 silver pigeon DT10 or browning 525 there’s nothing special about them at all
Good luck wearing one out, they balance great out of the box, poi/poa is excellent, hand finished to a high standard, a gun that lasts a lifetime and can shoot/handle it's way to podiums for basically peanuts- overrated in what way? a cg/perazzi/dt11 that costs 2-10x the price won't do anything it can't do, dollar to dollar what touches an mk38/mk10?
Agree, none of them will handle as well as your Baikal
