New miroku 1873 owner question
Severo Gallegos:
I have just purchased the 1873 miroku 357 short rifle, took it to the range and put some rounds through it. When I was cleaning the rifle afterwards I noticed there are some small scratch markings on both sides of the inside of the receiver, close to the chamber. Do anyone know if this is something to be concerned about? Should I take it back to the store or is this normal for a factory new rifle?
Coffinmaker:
Those "scratch marks" are left over from the machining process. Based on the position of the tool marks, they will pose no problems to the operation of the rifle and I'd just ignore them.

Not trying to start an argument with the gunplumber, but, those do not look like machining marks to me, they look like the result of some hand finishing with a file or something? Agree they will not cause any function problems. It's pretty on the outside isn't it?

Severo Gallegos:
Thank you for helping out. I almost suspected it could be something like that, due to the fact that both marks are positioned in the same way on each side of the chamber. And yes its pretty on the outside, and furthermore seems to function flawlessly with both 357s and 38s so far.
Buckaroo Lou:
Are you talking about slight vertical scratches where the brass lifter moves up and down and makes slight contact with the sides of the receiver? If so mine has the same thing and I believe are caused by the lifter making slight contact with the receiver. Not a problem.
