You are right!

I am not surprised. However, David Miller has been building Rifles since either the very late 70s or the very early 80s, Before the Model 70 Classics came out (which I believe he helped design) he did most of his work with Mauser's and Model 70s, His sales literature advertises using 1909 Argentine Actions and I believe he used a few g.33/40 actions as well as Pre 64 actions. Maybe there aren't 150 Miller 1909s out there, but there are quite a few.

Another guy that has used 1909s in the past is Mr. Wiebe. He has used them for some pretty big boomers. I wonder how many he has had come back with problems? One could certainly ask.


(Mr. Lambert. Thank you for posting the photos of Mr. Carmichael's Miller Rifle. that one looks like he used the original 1909 bottom metal instead of Ted Blackburn's bottom metal. beautiful rifle! )
