I have been told that Parker actually would install a Miller trigger on request and you could tell because the L,R, safe would not be stamped, the up or down would select the barrel to fire, sounds like an L C Smith type set up. I have never seen it in actuality.

I've had all 3 Miller Triggers on some of my Parkers that were installed by the Miller Family; non selective, selectly rocker on front of the trigger, and on the safety. I personally perfered the rocker on the front of the trigger. The one on the safety had 3 notches & moving from one barrel through the safety notch was a little sticky & sometime catch at Safe when trying to change on a quick selector change on a flushing bird. I've installed them on Parkers that I had stripped for restoration, upgrading, & stockmaking & they are simple in design with only a few moving parts with one piano wire spring that is operated by the selector

Unrelated to the gun I referred to to start this thread, I had a single trigger that was acting up and I was intrigued by this trigger discussion and had a little too much time on my hands, so I stuck my toe in the dissasembly process to check out the trigger mechanism. I had another single trigger gun that I was thinking of trying to swap out a replacement stock on so I took the trigger of of that one too just too see it. For those who haven't seen them recently here are some pictures of the different triggers. BTW, no Parkers were harmed in the process.:):) My friend made a spring from music wire to relace what appeared to be a weak one and seems to have fixed the issue and I managed to get the other one back together and functioning properly.
