Cliff;
I have 2 Miller non-selective triggers, one in a 28ga and the other in a 20ga. which over a period of 40yrs. have worked flawlessly. They were a big improvement over the Parker single trigger (especially the early ones). I would not hesitate for a minute to purchase a gun with a Miller trigger and I am pleased to know that they are scarce and unusual as per Mr. Murphy.

Default Inspection, round 2 with pics

Gents,

I took a closer look at this gun yesterday afternoon. Additional information:

DH receiver serial #56,815 (not #56,875)
Barrel and forearm matching serial #101,278
Barrel flat markings: K superscript f, 4 superscript 1, 2 on back of lug, + sign just above both extractors.
Left barrel: bore .731", diameter .804", constriction .040"
Right barrel: bore .733", diameter .806", constriction .028"

As mentioned in the first post, the stock is non-original with modern dimensions, forearm heavily dinged and appears original, and a Simmons vent rib added with factory solid rib milled down prior to installation. Miller single non-selective trigger.

I am interested in this gun as a shooter for clays. I would open the chokes to IC/M. I realize it has no collector value given the mis-matched frame/barrel and modifications. If the gun can be bought for $1,500 or less, should I jump on it?

Thanks for all the great responses.

The barrels and forend were from a VH. If the barrels lock up tight and the rest of the gun functions correctly, buy it for as little as possible, then have the chokes opened up and have fun!
