Description:
Charles Daly CD 500 Miroku - 12 Gauge Side-by-Side - Very Good Condition - Engraved Receiver
Charles Daly Model 500 – Miroku Crafted – Engraved Side-by-Side Shotgun
This Charles Daly Model 500 side-by-side shotgun in 12 Gauge is in very good used condition and represents the exceptional quality of Japanese firearms manufacturing from the renowned Miroku Corporation. Serial number 222396. Distinguished by its beautiful scroll engraving on the receiver, this shotgun elevates functional field tool to a work of art, showcasing the attention to detail that made Miroku-made firearms so desirable.
Manufactured during the earlier production period before Charles Daly introduced interchangeable choke systems, this shotgun features fixed chokes with Full choke in the left barrel and Modified choke in the right barrel, as clearly marked on the barrels. The 27 7/8" black chrome barrels with classic front bead sight complement the elegantly scroll-engraved receiver, while the diamond-checkered walnut stock and 44.25" overall length provide traditional handling characteristics.
Weighing just 5.6 lbs with clean and clear bores, this engraved Model 500 represents a specific era when these Japanese-made shotguns offered exceptional value, quality, and aesthetic appeal. The honest wear present adds character to a shotgun that was clearly both used in the field and appreciated for its craftsmanship, ready to continue its service with both functional performance and visual distinction.
