Actually, in the book "Ithaca Gun Co from the Beginning", pg 70, Walt talks about Ithaca prohibiting Miller from marking their triggers that were installed in Ithaca NIDs. It talks about correspondence from Lou Smith explaining to Miller founder, Elmer Miller, that a guy would be sore knowing that he paid an extra $5 for a Miller SST in an Ithaca NID that he could have bought directly from Miller instead. The last paragraph says that Ithaca developed their own SST in the early 30s and ended the relationship with Miller after that.
