I own one, Miroku, 20" carbine. I really like it. I put a Marbles tang sight on it. It works well but I need to get a taller front sight for it. Nice firearm. I paid $932 (new) for mine through Buds.

Drop 700 Bennies on the counter, step back, and go from there - assuming it's being sold as used, no box etc.

700 Bennies
Bennies = Benjamin's - Ok technically you are right.
I did not 'phrase' my slang correctly!

I've ordered a Marbles site supposed to be for this model. Did you need any drilling done?

If it's a tang sight and you have a forward screw hole in the tang you won't need any drilling.
It seems the last Miroku I looked at had the forward tang screw hole.

I had a gunsmith install it since mine has the safety. I'm not going to take it off to see but looks like he may have had to drill and tap one hole.

PICKED up the 1892 yesterday. Went over it last night.
I think it's unfired.
Only wear was the top of the hammer were the bolt rides opening hammer.
Not a dent or mark on the stock
Cleaned the receiver barrel totally clean.
Waiting for the Marbels Tang Sight.

FYI I had to make an "add on" for the top of the front sight for mine. I just used some carbon fibre rod and 5 minute epoxy. A little filing and some white paint to top it off.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
