45cal Mikrou kentucky rifle price help

[Awsomepossum]

Hello,
my new years resolution is to make more room in the gun safe. I was wondering what, would be a good price to sell my Mikrou. The bore is in good shape.Barrel reads made for Ultrahigh by Miroku.

I've seen them go for $200-$250. Sometimes less.

They never were very popular when they were marketed, which is ironic.

This same factory made exquisite Charles Daley, Browning, & Winchester 101 over & under shotguns.

They were priced at the bottom of the market, and competed with the Jukar rifles from CVA as well as others, so ... folks thought the Miroku barrels were on par with their Spanish rivals.

Were they actually on par, better, or worse ??????????

I always thought, still think, they are better than the Jukar barrels. Miroku made the musket barrels for the Japanese Bess, which were poo poo'd at the time, but they are still going strong, though they haven't been made in maybe 25 years. I scrounged a used Jap musket barrel many years ago and it had a good bore.

The thread question rifle is probably worth $200 - $250.
