Parker Hale serial number check M86/M87

[Molonlave]

Looking for a serial number check on a Parker hale action. It was labeled as M86. I think M87 is correct.

Serial number 02096C

That number is not logged in the files but numbers close to it are, and definately M86 rifles ie 02098c built on the 24th July 1987, sorry can't be more definitive on the search

Thank you!

Any record of 02139C?

Andrew,
Nothing logged in the records I'm afraid.

If 02139C is the one on Gunbroker that sold yesterday - it's an M86. These were surplus receivers that were sold by Numrich (Gun Parts) a couple years back. You see quite a few of these for sale. Pls check the hardness as some of these were not heat treated - in fact Numrich has a warning on the packaging.

Hi Gil,
Any record of 02106C? Currently for sale on GunBroker as another unfinished receiver. It is listed as an M98 receiver so it may go for cheap if anyone here is interested.

A few years back these parts were widely available from the closure of Parke Hale, many I saw were partially finished & hadn't been hardened. Perhaps that's why this one is not on the list.

02103C is there as an M86 produced 24th July 1987 sold to Precision Sports. Loads around the actual number but no record 02106C

Thank you gents for the responses.
