How many Millers were built?

I saw a miller with serial # 271, built in 1997. I thought there were less than 200 built, I see I am wrong. Anyone know how many were built BEFORE  Dakota Swindled  Kyle Miller? Just to keep Don Allens name A positive, the party's that gained controll of Dakota after his death then swindled Miller, Nesika, and Lil sharps Companies.....

  My Model F is #115, I was told that Kyle started at #100. Can't verify that though. Very nice triggers no issues with the triggers so far.

I  have 110,  110A, and 8.  All are said to have come from Dean Miller personally, I am the 2nd owner.   All three have subtle variations. 

8 came to me as an unbarrelled action,  so it may be the last  "virgin"  action.   Strong evidence shows that it will become a .32 Miller short when it grows up.

I think half of them are coming up for auction at Amoskeg but all appear to be wrong handed. Anyone know whose they are?

In 1988 we went to Goldens shoot where Dean was showing his miller's. Before leaving Ralph McDonald ordered a action from Dean, which was Deans Cadillac model with milled out side recesses for inlays on each side....... Ralph got it in 1989, since then my wife Sylvia has got it now in her possession and its her pride an joy. 
The ser # is 180 ....... So I'm not sure where it is in the line of millers but I do know its fairly early........

I was told that #s 1-100 were originally for the family and friends that helped Dean get started, but not all numbers were used. The production actions 101(?) on up to the mid-500s indicate that around 4-500 were made. There are several "sets" around- a centerfire and a rimfire with the same # and a different alpha suffix. At least 3 pistols were also "Factory" guns.
There does seem to be a lot of bare actions on the secondary market.
Don't have any info on what Dakota did' Wink

I have a quick question. What is Clyde Miller's middle name. I have a barrel marked C.D. Miller.

Also what is the diameter and pitch of a Miller/DeHaas and has it always been the same?
