Just curious if there's any parts prone to breakage or little quirks to keep an eye out for. Every thing I've read about them has been positive, but sometimes it's like a gun magazine - even chunks of crap can get good reviews from certain people. Bought a 3" 20g Field grade this afternoon. Figured it would be my poor man's Winchester 101/Browning Citori - they comparable in quality?

Just go a half page down on the posts and look at the discussion on the Charles Daily Miroku. You have a very good shotgun there that is a Browning in all but the name.
 
A Miroku is the same gun, made in the same place, by the same people who make Brownings. Save for some cosmetics they are the same gun as the Browning Citori.
 
In that case, even with fixed chokes (which doesn't bother me as it's going to be a grouse gun anyway) I think I got a fair deal. :D
 
I seem to recall that the Browning and Miroku use different springs, one uses flat springs the other coil springs. So it might be a little more difficult to get a spring for a Miroku than a Browning, should you ever need it. Or not.

Odds are you will never need repair parts as these are a high quality gun. The number of shells you'll fire while hunting and messing around is just a drop in the bucket compared to what these guns will tolerate for use.

Other than that Canadian Tire recoil pad it looks like a nice gun!
