I picked up two Miroku guns about a year ago, one being a 26'' 800 skeet which is a fun little gun to use and the second is a 32'' MK38 Trap gun and this is the one that I am giving thoughts to as the previous owner for some reason has removed ALL the chequering from both the pistol grip and forend................ ??????
The MK38 is not used at all but I would like to have shoot some DTL with it this summer but what to do regarding the stock. It has an adjustable comb with some crappy leather or similar on the comb but the feel of the grip is awful as the removal of the chequering has made the grip too small and without the grip it is lacking the control even with gloves on.
I know I could buy a new stock but I think that is going to be pretty expensive, I have even thought of adding extra wood to the palm side of the grip, shaping it and stipple for the grip but really not sure what to do and I am not a carpenter.
A point worth bringing up here is that buying the gun cheap as a project is that I don't want to spend much money on it as it is getting on in years and not been looked after so I may not keep it. Any ideas would be of interest.
