Karen:

Will you or a member of your family be enjoying the use of the gun, for target shooting or hunting, or is it to be retained as a meaningful artifact of your family history?

For most of us our vintage guns serve all of those purposes.

It is definitely all these purposes. Happy about it.

Karen, that Miller single trigger is a good trigger. I have a couple that were on my guns. I also have an Infallible single trigger that is being changed to a Miller as we speak. I prefer double triggers, but the Miller will serve you well.

I'll echo the comment about having a competent gunsmith check those barrels. Those ribs could have loosened from hot bluing.

Mike, why are you giving up on the Infallible trigger? I have several and they all work fine.

Mine had a doubling problem. Easier to covert it than to find someone to fix it.

Karen - you should join the PGCA as an annual member for $40
The benefits of membership are tremendous and one of those benefits is our newsletter/journal/magazine
And instead of the $100 you would pay as a “Forum Associate” a member pays only $40 foe a PGCA Research Letter.

Karen:

The Miller single trigger was the creation of Elmer Miller, of Millersburg, Pennsylvania.

Many “Pennsylvania Dutch” (read: Deutsch), who are descendants of 18th and 19th Century German immigrants, today call the town home.

It would be interesting to know if Elmer Miller had been a member of the Millersburg Gun and Conservation Club, which was a viable organization even a few years ago.
