The miller trigger works well in my double

+1 to what Dewey said. Seeing the holes in the lock plates filled in with cheesy pegs and seeing those beautiful interceptors gone, enough to turn a stomach.

Geez, Dewey, is that anyway to talk about a "Jewel" and it's installation? HA!!! I initially thought that someone had rehardened the steel parts in the picture of the Spanish gun above, but, it appears you are correct, and that ghastly workmanship is just part of the deal with one of those "Jewels".
Hey, JohnMc, lets see a photo of the lockwork on that Purdey, hell, I could use some more "enlightenment".
Have the intercepting sears been scrapped? Unused holes in the sideplates, plugged, or not? Is there any delightful acetylene and pliers work that has been performed on the remaining lockwork?
Again, I'd love to see it.

Best,
Ted

Dewey forgot to mention the use of what had to have been dull screwdrivers to remove wood in the stock heads for miller installations.

A good freind of mine told me about how he saw a Purdey once that had its intercepting Sears left in, but bent out of the way.

To all concerned,

Some people prefer single triggers and others, due to physical constraints, require them. Our company has been humbly providing this service continually since the 1920's...thousands of our triggers have been installed in many different types of guns.

Very few come back to us for repair.

I feel it is unfair to broadbrush the work of a company that has been in business continually for almost 100 years. Certainly there have been times when the work may not have been as clean as some would like, but the fact remains - our triggers work when many others fail.

We stand behind our product and are not going anywhere. We will be here to provide service for our triggers should any out there need repair or adjustment.

I would like to assure anyone that is contemplating having one of our triggers installed that we do the work as cleanly and professionally as our hands and machines allow. References from actual happy customers are available.

Our trigger requires modifications be made to every gun that it is installed in. It is a one-way street and we make sure that every customer is fully apprised of this fact. The design has parameters within which it must live and that is just the way it has to be.

Hopefully this clears up any confusion, we are available by phone or email if anyone has questions.

Thank you for reading.

Dan

I believe the thread has been hijacked. Dewey has email, phone, PM, and probably facebook for contact.
