Yet ANOTHER Miroku 1885. Now in .357 Magnum!!!! (Read 123 times)

	Well, I finally picked up the last of my Estate Sale goodies. I waffled on this a bit. Of all the calibers, I didn't think a Low Wall in .357 would really trip my trigger. Ooooo! Was I wrong! The second I pulled this out of the styrofoam I was in LOVE! It's a Browning Low Wall (year unknown at the moment) in .357 Mag. It has a case hardened receiver and a glob front site. Crescent buttplate which does not bug me in the slightest. The Lyman rear sight as an adjustable diopter which is a BIG plus. Does anyone know which front sight was used on these when it comes to globes? This one has a nice Swiss post which is my personal favorite. I absolutely cannot wait to shoot this one! It is light and handy as all get out!!!

	Here is the Globe I was talking about. I am assuming it is a Lyman Globe as the rear sight is a Lyman. Anyone know which number this one is?

	Your front sight looks like a LYMAN 17A

	Lyman makes that sight in three different heights I believe. I think you can buy a "card" of different inserts from I believe Lee Shaver. If you really want a thumper ream that chamber to .357 Maximum... JMH

	Doesn't, or can't, Lyman provide 17A inserts anymore? If not, scout eBay - I see them there frequently. If unsuccessful contact me as I have a surplus of them and can pick out a couple useful inserts. (Typically out of the 8-10 inserts that come in the little orange tin you'll only ever use 2, maybe 3.) I'll admit to a bit of envy over this one. It would fill out my small collection of Miroku Low Walls! I concur about stretching the chamber to .35 Maxi. I've come to love that chambering. But, and it's a big but, it'll detract from its value in future. Personally I would do it - a 200 grain cast bullet at 2000fps is pretty righteous, but then again I tend to look at this sort of thing as a deer-catcher not a target rifle.

	Congrats Nice rifle.. If you are a gunsmith or very mechanically adept, the trigger mechanism will be a no brainer for you, For me it was a challenge. I disassembled one for cleaning one evening,..., LAST TIME I'll do that..! desertmoon wrote yesterday at 5:51pm: Well, I finally picked up the last of my Estate Sale goodies. I waffled on this a bit.
