Is this a Miller SST?
From the current Julia auction catalog

Drew, Parker SST is what comes to my mind. We don't see the other side. Also I think, but am not sure, that all or most Millers are marked Miller.....Murphy would likely know the answer to that.
Compiling a trigger photo album? I have a CHE 16ga with gold plated, checkered triggers believe it or not. They are Parker triggers but I can't tell if they are original or done later. Who knows, the gun went back to change out the damascus barrels to fluid steel. Wish I still had the damascus set. |
On some of the Miller Single Triggers the "MILLER" stamp is out of sight up inside the lower tang of the trigger or floor plate. That one looks like a Parker single trigger.

Yup... Parker single trigger. With the late style safety slide I would guess its the later two screw single trigger..
|
I once had a Parker with early single screw SST that somebody had put a second dummy screw in to make it look like the two screw model, which is reputed to be more reliable. I had no problem with the trigger,however its irritating the length some people will go to fake things.

Thank you gentlemen; here's the other side. Who designed the Parker SST?
http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../383022170.jpg Vic Venters' recent article about the HOT in Shooting Sportsman led to discussions on other Forums. AND this trigger with the odd nubin that no one could identify http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../382663196.jpg |
Drew , see The Parker Story. There is quite a bit written about the Parker SST there. Designed within Parker, unlike Fox or some other makers.
There were many attempts at perfecting a single trigger that would not double. Some would say that they are still not perfected but I have had no trouble with single triggers in my personal experience. To me, the right side of a Parker SST looks like a Miller, but the left side always looks different. The Miller trigger is wider and not as sculptured, but then I have only seen maybe a dozen or so Miller installations, unlike people in Penn and the NE who have likely seen many many more and all the variances. Some people, and Don Kaas is a proponent of them, love Millers above all other triggers. I've not shot a Miller, I wouldn't know. |
I have some Millers on Parkers, all the early selective model, and they all work. My 12 gauge Skeeter has a non selective factory installed Miller and it works also.

Designer of Parker Single Trigger
Herman (?) Shula was a German jeweler who designed the second model Parker single trigger. He was Babe DelGrego's grandfather.
Miller's are usually stamped Miller, but the stamp may be obscure. A very slightly modified Miller design is used on the K32. Best, Austin |
Thanks again gentlemen.
First model? http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../383031308.jpg Second (two screw) model? http://pic20.picturetrail.com:80/VOL.../383027433.jpg |
