Miroku Corporation is a Japanese manufacturer located in Nangoku, Kochi Prefecture, Japan. A large part of their business is manufacturing firearms, including shotguns produced for Browning Arms Company. In the UK and European markets those products are sold under both the Miroku and Browning brand names.
They also, for a short time, manufactured copies of the Browning BL22, under the name Miroku ML22, a lever action rife in .22LR calibre, popular with Australian rabbit shooters due to its high magazine capacity (15 rounds), no-nonsense action and generally low price.
Miroku shotguns are pricey, upwards of $1000 USD can be expected, these shotguns are mostly Under and Over, and are popular due to, unlike their browning counterparts, their lower price.
In A Nutshell
Miroku produce arms for Browning, but unlike Browning arms, are much cheaper, but generally accepted as rugged and reliable firearms.
