Miller trigger owner #2 told owner #3 that no records exist. In edition to the obvious machining required to fit the single trigger,drilling, machining, and welding are required internally to complete the modification. Patents have expired but copyrights are still enforced that is why copies exist without the Miller name.

"Copies"? Do you mean the triggers built and/or installed by the present day Miller Trigger people? I don't think they stamp their triggers, but I may be wrong. I doubt that the present day Miller Trigger Company would install their $1000 plus trigger on a $600 Trojan. Investigation continues. Personally, I have not seen a Miller trigger on a Parker without the "Miller" marking, but here we have one, apparently.

Bill you would be shocked what people are willing to spend on there A grade Ithaca Lefevers much less a Parker Trojan. A $1000+ won't get you a copy of a Miller trigger much less a real one. Yes, Miller is stamped on current REAL installations.

Yes, i have seen a few Parkers with Miller triggers that were not marked. Being that they were installed by others or they were just of the same design.

The highest quality Miller install I have ever seen in person was on a 20g Trojan. The gun was also restocked in Straight grip and converted to an ejector gun. I suspect that Lefever may have done the work. The trigger install was CLEAN and done right! Certainly not by the Miller Brothers. Those guys were Crude to say the least.

Why would Dan not install a new miller in a Trojan? If the owner wants to dump that money on such a gun, I am she Dan would accommodate the job.

Great response Brian! Of the 4 or 5 installations I have witnessed all that I can recall had the Miller stamp. I don't know any businessman that turned away work because his/her effort wasn't worth the cost.

One thing I can say about this trigger is that it is very smooth and breaks very crisp. The positioning of the trigger is perfect for me. The selection bar works very well and has crisp sections. I am very impressed with this "after market" trigger. I have checked several times and still see no trigger marking. Thanks for all the information guys.
