This is interesting! How do you know that it must have been a shooter from Pennsylvania? I am very curious.

Pennsylvania was the home of Miller triggers. It is a very big trapshooting state and trapshooters were the biggest customers for Miller triggers. The Miller brothers were prolific trap and pigeon shooters and saturated their market in areas close to their shop. The beavertail forearm is another clue since the original forearm on your Parker would not be a favorite of trapshooters because it allows the hot barrels to burn the hands when the gun is shot on the trap range.

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.

Who is your choice of a gunsmith to fix your problem? Miller Single Triggers?
