Made by Miroku in Japan and import-marked MORGAN, UT, this Sporting model carries the barrel inscription "CITORI SPECIAL STEEL 12GA - 2¾ and 3" and the receiver's durable silver-nitride finish over steel. The serial year code "YW" denotes 2024 manufacture.
The barrel set is back-bored with Vector Pro forcing cones for smooth transitions, and topped by a floating ventilated rib for consistent sighting. A green fiber-optic front bead provides a clear reference. The monoblock bears a "30" stamp confirming a 30-inch set.

Mechanical notes on this example include great barrel fit, ejectors in good timing, solid firing pins, and a locking lug indicating a long service life ahead.
