I've never had any issues with their rebounding hammers on other models, but do know before buying that Miroku 92s and 94s are set up this way. Also, ignore what the Winchester website listing under the specs as far as these being drilled and tapped for a scope and as far as being drilled and tapped for a "receiver" peep. Not so. They need to do some proof reading, there. Marble's does offer a tang sight for these Miroku tang safety models, though. Otherwise, you're stuck with the traditional buckhorn setup.
I think someone said it best when they said that when buying one of these replicas or reproductions you have to be willing to compromise. Although I have no experience with the rebounding hammer that is probably the biggest compromise I am having to make. However the other alternatives are either are not as overall attractive to me or would be much more than I am personally willing to pay to not have a rebounding hammer.
The most negative remark I’ve read so far was that it made the trigger heavier because of the safety. This I think if true would be the most bothersome to me.
If I remember correctly someone did point out that they posted incorrect information on their website but thanks for the reminder.
There are other small compromises I am making with this rifle but overall I think when it comes to what’s available I’m still overall extremely happy I was able to find one of these still out there. Based on what I hav seen it’s the best fit for me.
