And this would all be Union or Confederate?? Guns have anything done to it like replaced shooter sights and trigger job? Mold and load info maybe?

Ill take the bayonet.

Standard sights with the exception of the front, which has been slightly extended and squared off but the bayonet will still go over it. Trigger/action was lightened a smidge but still passed poundage requirements. I do not remember to what poundage, sorry it has been almost 30 years since I competed with it.

Price reduction on Springfield.

Further information on it: As I said it was used as a competitive weapon many years ago. Trigger has been worked over, but always met the trigger pull requirements, does not have much creep. Barrel channel has been glass bedded. Front sight was built up slightly and squared off to give a better sight picture, the bayonet sold to PJ went over it with no issues.

If memory serves (it was a long time ago) I was using a traditional minie, sized to .577 with crisco/rcbs bullet mix as a lube. Used about 45 grains of Goex 2F as I recall.

Buy with confidence folks......items I got were packed great, shipped fast, way better then described and at a great price!

The Miroku's were the best made copies of the original arms hands down. Correct profile for the most part and lighter then the lawyer guns of the last buncha decades.

Looks good, just like the last time I shot it. I could try and photograph the inside the muzzle if that would help you.
