I thought the Millers were what John showed and like the Repros have. I guess I've never seen a Miller if that's what they look like. Thanks Dave...

And Jack; I would be glad to participate in the testing of that little sweety on Ptarmigan. Just send it to me after you're done with it on pheasants and I'll spend next April testing it. I just happen to have very recently acquired two boxes of older Mark V 2.5" .410 shells....

Here's a baby ptarmigan I caught on the tundra here on June 28. He seemed unable to fly away with his mama and siblings. Hope he's ok. Cute little bugger, eh?

The picture Frank just posted is of the early variation of the Miller trigger. The less common late Miller trigger has a rocker ahead of the trigger for a selector. Neither are similar to the original Parker trigger selector. Nice gun, Frank. Do you mind sharing how you found such a treasure?

I've never owned a late design Miller, but all of my early Millers are working and have never failed. The one on my PHE Trap has probably been fired a million times judging from the condition of the gun.
