Miller Triggers

[Dan May]

Dan,

That's a big wrench!!! I looked through all of the patents and none show a selector like that. Likewise, we don't have anything similar in all of the leftover Miller "hardware" in our possession. After looking over the patents, I believe this selector is a variation, and based upon, Elmer's 1939 patent. I'd love to see the inside of that mechanism. My guess is that the resilient pin that works against the spring which selects the trip position is mounted in the top rear of the selector switch. In doing this he most likely omitted the lengthwise shaft that would have been connected to the original rocker button mounted at the forward end of the trigger body. Just a guess.

Very interesting, the Millers never cease to amaze me. Thanks for showing us, hopefully I'll get a chance to examine your gun some day.

Best, Dan

Dan; I had a Parker DHE trap, 32 inch btfe, with the Parker SST marks present on the trigger plate. The Parker SST was replaced by the Miller with rocker selector. There were several Remington repair codes on the gun but these do not infer the type of repair.

Philosophical question - would a Miller trigger installed by the Millers be more or less desirable than a Miller installed by Remington?

Best, Austin

Another Question...Did Remington actually install Miller Triggers?
