So got the bipod today. Ended up ordering one from CCDN. The bipod is pretty beefy, solid steel. But its very obviously of lower quality knock off compared to an original. The handstop however is...

Thank you for all the input, I will post some upates as to what I end up with.

Cheers.

Maybe, I am not sure. Does this PH handstop fit the 1200tx rail? To me it doesnt look like it would but maybe I am just looking at it wrong.

Ended up with a Farrel pic rail. Have to say it turned out pretty good, for me anyways.

So I have a stupid question about the forend rail. Mine looks like this...

Hello All,

First I wanted to thank everyone for the replies within my "scope" thread. I have finally got the rifle set up and was able to get it scoped in this past weekend.

Sub 1 inch groups...

Well that explains it. I ordered the model mentioned in the thread but no big deal, stuff happens. Going to call them tomorrow and get this straightened up.

Bummer.

It is completely flat.

I ordered:

Parker Hale MOA - Steel Black Matte: 0 MOA - PARKER HALE-0-G43

It has "Parker Hale" and "M84" stamped into the top of the rail.

Got the Farrell base today. Holes line up nice, but of course the back receiver holes are larger so the back rail holes will require smithing. The rail definitely feels quality for sure.

All good. I find the history to be quite fascinating but can also understand why there is much confusion / frustration.

I did learn (thanks to everyone who replied), that I have some type of...

Hello All,

I am looking for a .303 Enfield No. 4 MK 2 magazine. The original serialed mag was lost in a car crash (no one was hurt thankfully). I have searched the internet but have not found a...

So I took the rifle to my local gunsmith this morning and he said no problem with getting this worked out. So I ordered the Ferrell 0 MOA (since the furthest I generally shoot is 400yrd - its all...

Yes the barrell is 26in and it appears to be 0.9 in diameter at the muzzle best I can measure with what I have available. The top of the barrell is stamped "Parker Hale Ltd Birmingham England"

See...

Ok took some more pictures, these are easy to read...couldnt find a magnifying glass around here.

Can you help decipher this?

Thanks again.

This has all been an interesting experience and thanks for your patience with my ignorance. I really love this rifle. One because of the sentimental value, but shes rather beautiful as well.

So...

Im going to look closer for any signs of rechambering or rebarreling.

But at this point the only chambering mark I have found is on the top of the barrell.

Pictures attached of top of the...

The no 45 weaver rear would still need modified though, correct?

Thanks to everyone for all the helpful info.

Ive had it out of the stock to check the trigger housing etc. The only chamering marks I have found are on the barrell, which is 30-06. The barrell is very heavy and seems to fit the proflie of the...

The barrell is parker-hale, with the proof markings. And imported by Jana, Denver Colorado stamped in as well. I am being told this parker was purchased with the 30-06 chambering and is late 60's.

Thanks for the replies.

The serial number is indeed prefixed with a P, which is like P-4....

Does this basically confirm the 1200tx model?

I know for sure this rifle is definitely not from...

Thanks for the replies and in fact the back screw mounts are larger, something I didnt notice when removing the beuhler mount. Is this why "standard" mauser type mounts dont work on the tx?

Sad...

Also, if anyone can help answer some questions, like..

-what model this looks like? Im thinking 1200TX but it appears slightly different.
-what receiver is on the rifle? 98 mauser like action?...

Hello All,

Looking to scope this Parker. I don't know much about it, belive it to be from the mid 60s. The Parker has the 98/148 trigger group/housing. Also, the rifle has a heavy barrell and a...
