Ted, as you may be finding out wood shrinkage happens as your wood ages. Worse for guns is that old guns have suffered lots of wood shrinkage, use, anbuse and poor repairs. I have a Miller Triggered Fox pin gun which looks like a beaver altered the in letting in what I guess was an attempt to stop wood from interfering with trigger operation. I could do a better job with a spoon.

Although most Miller triggers work as they should, some of the installations look like they were done with a hatchet. All of mine work well.
