Miller Triggers

[Dan May]

Dean,

Here is a link to the patent. http://www.google.com/patents/about?...r+trigger+1962

Elmer patented a similar mechanism in 1939, this may be what you had. This rocker switch did not have a spring loaded detent like the 62 patent and generally had a round profile.
I'd have to see it to know for sure.

From a closet single trigger fan, good luck with the Miller project!

[Dean Romig]

Any thoughts on which single trigger would have originally been installed in 1939 by Parker Bros.? The Miller single trigger it now has is the 1962 patent.

Dean,That trigger would have been installed by Remington....Right?

[Dan May]

If it were a Parker type single, I would assume it would be the second generation, hopefully someone with more info will jump in. It can be hard to tell what was there after the Miller conversion is done, unless you look inside for evidence.

Best, Dan

I honestly don't recall that the gun had any Remington codes.

Well Dan it's great that you got the Miller tigger figured out, but like I said at the shoot now you need to get to work on figuring out the Parker single trigger..... Eric

[Dan May]

Eric,

I can fix any Parker single trigger.....by swapping it out for a Miller! Ha! Seriously though, we're willing to take a look at problem triggers from other makes. We'll do no harm, if it's over our heads we'll stop and let you know. Many of the principles are the same from system to system.

I enjoyed talking with you at the shoot, hope to meet up again soon.

Best, Dan

Just to throw a wrench in the works...Here is a 1930 Charles Daly with a Miller with a different type of selector. Small lever in front of trigger swings right or left. Works as well as my other Millers!

Well I'll be....
