+1, on all counts. And 40% less expensive than a Purdey or H&H and not owned by some international conglomerate.

I was talking with a UK-trained gunsmith yesterday about two vintage UK best guns that had Miller triggers installed after they were sold. He described in detail what that conversion does to the gun's action (removed interceptor sears, bent main sears, wood removed for the trigger mechanism, safety altered, etc.), and the ham-handed way it was done on those guns. That is a whole different issue than an OEM trigger installed when the gun is ordered.


Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
