Ahem, Mr. Dunkle.... I had asked you some months ago to return my VHE .410 skeet gun post haste but instead, you have chosen to post pictures of it as if it were your own. Can you explain your actions?

I had tried to send you a PM but the administrator is apparantly against my contacting you privately....

This has gotten confusing. It seems that his single trigger is selectable with the tang safety and not next to the trigger as with a Miller. Is that correct Frank? Or do you have the selector like John shows in the picture above, right next to the trigger on the floorplate and barely visible in the picture unless you know what to look for?

Frank: It is a service happily provided. Ptarmigan it will be then. Mr. Flanders may now want to assist, as those birds are in his back yard while mine are a day's drive north for the willow ptarmigan and a day's drive west for the rock ptarmigan. I will still include some pheasant for you and if you like, add in some rough grouse, sharptail grouse and hungarian partridge. Shootability may require further examination in other jurisdictions due to the subtleties of local environmental factors. A tour through the hands of those on this forum should ensure all eventualities are covered, giving you a thorough evaluation, upon which you surely could rely.
Cheers,
Jack

Rich,Sure looks to be a Miller to me. The trigger on John's gun looks to be a Parker two screw single trigger.

Frank,Is "Miller" stamped on the left side of the trigger?

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?
