These Navy Arms 1863s were made by Mikoru (spelling?) in Japan and are high quality. Personally, I would shoot it before I traded it off. You might like it.

Miroku is the correct spelling. Miroku, a Japanese company stopped making CW firearms several years ago. Dixie was a big seller of their products. Miroku makes fine quality modern firearms including some Brownings and Winchesters. I agree with Gil, try it before you sell or trade it.

An interesting exchange on this very topic a while back. I always considered them some of the best myself. Theymake awesome shooters as the ones I had were very accurate.

The markings on the barrel should tell the story. Please post what is stamped on yours.
