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.

Mr Pomes,

If you haven't already experienced problems with the safety and/or single trigger function, you may soon. It appears the rear screw on the top tang is protruding excessively up through the tang and the closer the top and bottom tangs get to each other the more prone it will be to malfunction.

....wouldn't you agree Mr. Suponski?

Hey Bill,
After everyones help I didn't want to be rude. I ended up with the gun pretty much by chance. A friend of a friend deal. A guy I work with had a friend out of work and selling whatever he could. I wasn't really interested in most of his SHTF stuff but he mentioned an old SxS shotgun. He said it was a 410. I told him I really had no use since I'm primarily a waterfowler but to bring it by.
He brought it, told me what the guy was looking for, and I took it.
I'm pretty sure its just a shooter. I don't think its got a lot of collector value.

Frank

Any Parker .410 has collector value.
