I have a 20 GA Parker with Parker single trigger in the far rear position. Is trigger position adjustable by any means. I would like to increase prceived LOP.

I have a nice VHE 20 with a rear position single Miller trigger and Brian added some spacers to put it out to 14 1/4 lop., the stock is not cut. I haven't found an alternative to that but since Miller is in business, maybe they could alter it if yours is a Miller.

I know a Parker single can be modified, because I saw a guy shooting one at Ernies a couple years ago. I believe he said he modified a front trigger so the blade was the same as the original.

They are not adjustable. The trigger would have to be replaced or modified.

Another alternative is that you could convert the SST to double triggers and gain at least 5/8" LOP.

Here is a comparison between my DHE 20 trigger position an that on a LC Smith 20 with Hunter One ST.

That trigger is pretty abnormal appearing on the smith. They typically look very much like that of the parker.

I had an AAHE with a Miller single trigger, the new owners of the "Miller system would not touch converting it back to original double triggers,although they installed the single trigger to start with. thanks to a PGCA member I traded for a set of gold triggers off a Parker, and Dave fjelline did the work, and I am satisfied with it! do not know why the Miller people would not do it, although It was a tedious job, Gary

Here is a picture of a Parker GHE 20 GA that was just listed on GI by a member of this Group. It shows a Parker SST in a forward position. Does this mean that a trigger may be found to replace the one in my gun?

Bob,
I would call that one more of a mid position trigger than a forward position.
Anything than a rear position would be less common and harder to find by way of parts.
