Parker Hale, Franken gun

[sdh1911]

A few months ago I found a mint bore Parker Hale barrel down at Sarcos. Last week I hooked up a belt sander to the lathe and refinished the barrel, cut an 11 degree crown lapped the bore and rechambered it 0.0025" over go. I mounted up to a German 98 (1915 vintage) receiver. Then I got thinking the last time I built a gun similar to this I used the same barrel config. on a commercial P/H receiver and stuck it in a fat wood Richards stock. It shot many group under 1" using South African ammo. So I thought I'd try something totally different, I'd build an aluminum frame suspension style mounting system and then add the wood where needed. I just finished the skeleton. I'll post more pics when completed. Hopefully I'll get into the sub-minute with this one, heck I might even try match ammo this time-SDH
