Parker Hale Barrel/gas block on an ex NZ rifle
Afternoon all,
A question for Kevin here I think, I had a rather interesting ex NZ contract Lithgow L1A1 pass through a few weeks back, it was fitted with a very late production 1986 dated, Parker Hale barrel/ gas block..
I assumed this was fitted in the UK, however it hadn't been UK proofed, so did NZ purchase any PH made parts at the very end of its service life there??
Its the latest manufactured example I have seen, can't imagine they get much later then that, after all the L85 was in production by that point.
That said, I do have a couple of PH 1989 made cocking handles..
