Hey guys just finally picked up my Miroku today super stoked, however I took it home cleaned it off and oiled it up everything works fine however I can't seem to get both barrels to fire one after the other, they both work I've tested them on snap caps but I can't seem to get one of them to fire and then the other anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Inertia activated for second barrel.

Fire one, bang but on cement, then the next will work.

Click safety on and off after dry firing the first snap cap, it will then select the 2nd barrel.

I cant comment on the specifics of your purchase but with mine I got three extra chokes (in additon to the two installed in the barrels) so 5 in total with the tool.
The box looks the same but I got a 'certificate of inspection' which is on a yellow card that fits in the bottom of the box.
If you bought it new I would be asking a couple questions. FYI I paid $1500 about 5 months ago.

I went through the same learning curve a few months ago.
Yep theyre chokes, the top is "full" and ths bottom is "half" - or the confuse matters Browning / americans call it "full" and "modified'.
See the smaller notches on the chokes? The bottom choke has a set of three small notches at the top left. These identify the choke sizes and are explained on the green tubes.
Im guessing the spare is marked "CL" or "Cyl" for cylinder and is the most open of the chokes with "full" being the tightest.
Its good to have the other choke options when switching between field vs target or steel vs lead. I know last year I ran a different choke setup on the rice where the shots were a lot closer.

If the barrel was stamped saying ' Special Steel 12GA - 2 1/4" And 3" ' does that mean I can shoot any shell on the market?

cause I ran 125 7 1/2" shells through it a couple of days ago no drammas but I plan on running 3" and 21/4" shells through it later

You'll want to take the chokes out for cleaning, hence the tool :)
