I'm pleased to announce that we have purchased the Miller Single Trigger Company from Turnbull Manufacturing. We will be providing new installation of both selective and non-selective triggers for Parker, Fox and Ithaca NID guns initially. We will service existing triggers as well. More information available at the website:

Mention you heard about it here and ten bucks goes to Dave!

Best regards,

Dan, good for you. The Miller trigger, and I have several guns with the trigger, is the only single selective trigger that I would pay a premium for if it were installed on a gun for sale.

Thanks for the well wishes, Daryl. I have stocked guns with Miller Triggers before but didn't realize the genius until I began installing them. I really like the system and feel blessed to have this opportunity.

Regards, Dan

Congratulations, Ken and Dan. Bill Murphy

I’m a bottom feeder when it comes to buying shotguns. I get a lot of pleasure in taking guns that others on the board would use as tomato stakes, freshening them up and putting them back to work. The one thing that’s a deal killer for me on anything but a 410 is a single trigger on a double (be it an O/U or a SXS). The dual trigger layout just makes too much sense, is so mechanically simple, easy to use, and universal in application that putzing around with barrel selectors (which can differ from gun to gun) as your quarry flies off into the horizon just doesn’t make sense. I think that a company that converts guns equipped with a Miller trigger back to a dual trigger ultimately makes more sense. As usual this is just my opinion and since I’m providing it for free you can take it for what it’s worth.
BTW I did own a single trigger 12 bore LC Smith when I was a college student. The damn thing would spontaneously discharge and double at the slightest provocation. I had it repaired (I thought!) and sold it (I needed cash) only to have the buyer tell me a year later both barrels had spontaneously discharged while he was sitting with it in a duck blind. Fortunately I had given him the repair receipt with the gun so he was able to vent his anger on the guilty party (the lousy smith who "fixed" it).
But even without the history I still feel that double triggers are the only way to go.

Rockdoc,

Thank you for your opinion. I am sorry that the concept of a single trigger for doubleguns is not one that you agree with.

It is my hope that this thread doesn't devolve into a heated discussion over the merits of the single trigger system. My intention was only to announce the transition from Turnbull to our company.

Best, Dan

Congratulations on acquiring the rights to the Miller trigger. I hope you do very well with the business...Geo

Glad to hear of your acquisition. My Miller Trigger Parker will come to you for service whenever needed.

AWESOME
Wonderful
NEAT!!
Fabulous!!

Sorry Dan, you're right I shouldn't have rained on your parade. Everyone has their preferences, there was a huge discussion on this board a while back about "butchering" shotguns by opening up chokes (usually the first thing I do). I only wish I'd had you to send my LC Smith to so many years ago, then maybe I wouldn't have such a negative opinion about single triggers.
