I have one of their 1886's in 45/70. I didn't care for the stock finish so I fixed that. The more I stared at that rebounding hammer, the more it bothered me so I fixed that too. I didn't want to spend the time and money to get rid of the tang safety and weld up the hole so it's still there. Even with all that I like the rifle. I had several of the Miroku/Brownings back in the day, and this is one is every bit as nicely fit and finished. I use a 300 gr. bullet in a load that duplicates the original 45/90 blackpowder round and it works great on deer and is a pretty fair elk killer too.
