I have a MK38 Trap with multi choke. It has lovely wood and drop points but no silver roundel on the stock dated 1995. i have had the gun for only two years or so but absolutely love the way it handles and shoots. It sits next to my B725 which I love as well and an old 1967 Spanish side by side which is great fun to shoot. I loved this vid you made on the 38 and an sure I will watch a few more of your productions. Thanks again!!!
So glad you are enjoying the channel . I really enjoyed making this and the MK38 is a great gun. Thank you for watching
Excellent review, straight to the point, very knowledgeable.
Have a grade 3 sporter, great all-rounder, love it.
Has a bit of cast which suits , not sure if it has been done, or came that way.
Glad you enjoyed it
A truly great gun which is a joy to shoot and generally affordable, especially in Grade 1. When the essentials are right why would they change it?
Great channel and awesome review.
Come in a try them out to see what feels best .. - Matt
Super interesting video. And Matt, as you know, love my MK38 and if it wasn’t for you I still wouldn’t know to this day that my particular stock (which fits like a glove) was based on the XT. Another super subtle point to mention (which I don’t think you did but could be wrong) is that the side rib length varies too which changes the weight ever so slightly. Sometimes full length, sometimes not. Found that out when trying to source new barrels.
Thanks 👍
Brilliant rundown, in stark contrast to some rubbishy reviews we are subject to.
Very, very nice indeed, thank you.
So glad you liked it Ray. We really think its a story worth telling. Stay tuned for one coming up on Lanber!
Good to hear a bit of history of the Mk38, iv got a 32 inch grade 5 and also a 30 inch grade 6. One thing that I have noticed when watching reviews on miroku guns is that the grade 6 version is never really mentioned, is there a reason for this?
Hello Matt,
Well I re-visited this video to enforce my decision to purchase a MK38 Grade 5 Sporter……of which I will definitely solicit your advice to help me find the right one for me!
Love my 3800 trap in 32inch, fixed choke. You have to be on it (I am sometimes!) and it will vaporise clays. On occasion I have taken second barrel kills and others on the line have been slightly taken aback at how far out they were! Back in the day sporting shooters wanted to buy it off me as it was unmolested for their own purposes. Would never sell it and it sits in my cabinet with my other antiques.
Good choice and good decision
Regret selling my gr1 mk38 which your resident gunsmith(Colin?) did a fantastic job fitting a comb raiser.
When I get a chance I'm going to have to pop over a take a look at the the 38's you have on sale.
Remember Black Friday there's £100 off every gun over £650!
Brilliantly explained I'm looking to buy a grade 5 with 32 inch barrels for sporting but prefer the trap forend and dont want multichoke so was thinking of getting a trap gun and opening up the chokes little? But now with lead being phased out maybe a sporter with a trap forend would be the better choice? great guns tho always have been. I have 2 older Mirokus and can't fault them I just fancy a 32
Why don't you nip into the shop this week and we will go through your options for you and you can try a few out...
@@PremierGunsDoveridge sorry I've been in Thailand for a month I will most definitely come see you in the near future
@@alanbrudenell4918 Hi, I bought a 32” trap that had been opened up to 1/4 and 1/2. It shoot like a dream.
Apparently, as long as it’s choked no tighter than 1/2 it’s OK for standard steel. Regards
Soo happy with my mk38 trap I’ve sportersied.
Good to know you do trap foreends for the sporter that’s the way I will go next time.
One thing I’ve noticed in pictures is the new mk38 trap don’t have such a tight grip radius like my older 2002 model does?
That’s a shame if it’s correct
Maybe yours is a factory adjustable..?
@@PremierGunsDoveridge it is yeh??
Great video is there a different in the palm on the new trap and sporter does the trap have a palm swell ?
Hi Jake. It is only the factory adjustable MK38 traps that have a palm swell as it is the same dimensions/profile as a Browning Ultra XT. I hope this helps. Glad you enjoyed the video. Kind regards, Matt
How much does the grade 5 sporter weigh please. Seen a lot of conflicting weights online.
Great review, i always thought that because Miroku were so popular they didn't have to push them selves with new models, i understand if it ant broken dont fix it, but i feel they could be so much more with different engravings options, adjustable stock models, back bore options, more advertising and merchandise available to the public.
In australia we get the mk10, which is follow on to 9000, it comes in game scene, new modern etched sporting engraving, and an adjustable version, miroku is far more popular here than browning i would hazzard a guess browning limit what miroku can do and what sales they can push in uk etc as if the mk10 was available there the 525 wouldn't sell as it's same price
@@fullchoke01hi, is the mk38 trap grade 3 with adjustable stock in Australia the same gun as the mk38 trap that we get here in the UK?
The only difference I can see is the engraving is different?
If it is the same gun it is half the price in Australia!!
@@dannym670 same except engraving, yes i would say browning are involved with the prices on Miroku there as it makes no sense we pay half, my mk10 grade 3 was 1000 pounds
@@fullchoke01 wow that's a good price!
I'm gonna see if I can get an mk38 shipped, here were paying about £3000
@@dannym670 yeh it's interesting i fully believe its due to uk being a more browning dominated market where as here good luck seeing 1 browning to every 20 Miroku's, i'd love to have your used gun market here though, guns like winchester 101s here sell for a fair bit still compared to uk
Do they make a “true Left” version like the browning?
My everything gun MK38 sporter grade 1. Tried other guns keeping coming back to my Miroku. Hope I never have to part with it. Nice review, but numbers confuse me. A picture of the two together would have been better
Thank you point noted
I have a 2016 gr 5 mk38 trap. It has an adjustable trigger.
This will have been an addition as they were not supplied with adjustable triggers. A simple conversion though, we have carried out several.
What would you say is the Browning equivalent of the MK38 Gd5 sporting?
Off the top of my head I would say The Crown but really there is no equivalent for the money - Alex Sayer
I think I should move back to the UK so I can get one. Is there any way to ship one to Canada??
Yep give the shop a ring on 01889 565982 👍
I have an mk10 / Australian market gun, such a shame they aren't sold in UK, miroku is in my opinion the one by all others are measured, an mk38 etc will last a lifetime and you will never get more skill than the gun can handle
Does the adjustable comb on the mk38 trap grade 1 allow you to shoot both right and left handed? Sorry newbie
You can use an adjustable comb to shoot left and right handed to a degree. This is more achievable on a Browning or a Miroku as the stocks are straight (very little to no cast)
Where can I get a trap forend for my 525 investor +. If available at what cost. Thanks
Just give the shop a call on 01882 565982 they will be able to help you.
How do they compare to the Browning 525 and 725
Handle better in my opinion and the grade 5 is a step above looks wise, unless you look at the ultra xs pro equisite and crown
Can you fit a beaver tail forend to a Mk 38 retrospectively ? If so how much are they?
Yes you can fit a beavertail forend. A grade 1 is £180 and a grade 5 is £310
Can I have a grade 5 please? I'm passing the store tomorrow. I'll call in.
@@matrixsenior we haven’t got any in stock at the moment but we can have some in a couple of days
Vorrei sapere il il prezzo di questi fucili sovrapposto vanno bene per il tiro al piattello grazie se potete rispondermi in italiano grazie mille buona sera
You have an encyclopedic knowledge of shotguns.
Thank you for your kind words. I hope you are enjoying the channel. Kind regards, Matt
I know you are the pros but isn’t “MK” pronounced “Mark”?
We call it the EM KAY 38 not the Mark 38
@@PremierGunsDoveridge I read somewhere that MK are the initials of two of the Miroku company's Presidents.
