Default Single or double trigger ?

Just bought my 1st Parker shotgun. It's a 12 ga DHE with a Miller single trigger. How do I find out if this came from the factory this way ?

Most likely it did not unless it is an extremely high serial number Remington era gun... and even then likely not.

James I encourage you to join the PGCA and order a letter on the gun (assuming the data for a letter exists for it). Letters sometimes reveal lots of goodies about a Parker! Oh and post some pics of your gun. We like pics!

I have a GHE pigeon gun with a Miller trigger. Shot quite a few box birds with this gun.
The trigger functioned flawlessly, with a trigger pull/break that is beyond excellent!

Step one, PGCA letter. Let us know what you find out. It did not come from the factory with a Miller trigger.

I just joined the Parker collectors association last week , as soon as I'm notified that my application is approved I'll get a letter on it. The DHE I bought has been sitting in a safe for the last 37 years. It's in very good condition with 30" barrels 12 GA.................................
