That one certainly looks in nice condition with all the right M82 parts. Odd that the safety catch is missing though.

That's very helpful Gil - Interesting, at least it's an M82. I had hoped it was within the C3 serial range that came back to and were re-sold by PH, but such is life!

Thanks for the prompt reply....

Hi Gil

Is there anything recorded for a TX1200 s/n R22814?

Thanks

Thanks Gil. Unfortunately I don't have a lead on the rifle but my reason for asking is that in response to a WTB request for M82 stock spacers I removed the spacers from my M82 to compare sizes with...

Hi Gil, do you anything showing in your records for s/n 00114G please?

Steve, OWS (Old Western Scrounger) store in the US had lots of M82 stocks a few years ago but none listed on their site currently. They do have what are described as "M81 Cadet Target" stocks...

Hi Steve,

Pleased to hear that you still have R31350 and it's still in the UK. Having now learnt more about its background and how Parker Hale dealt with the C3s returned from Canada I wish I'd...

Thanks Ron. Sorry my misunderstanding, I read it from your earlier reply that it was only the M85 and C3a1 that had the rib on the bolt whereas I think you meant that those rifles had the rib AND the...

Ron, can you explain what you mean by "guide rib" please? Are you referring to the "rib" shown here in the middle of the bolt from the M82 that I still have?

Picture below.
Thanks, Kev

Ron, If that's the case then I'm fairly certain that the bolt on my old rifle was fitted by Parker Hale when they reworked the returned C3s into target rifles and/or M82's. IIRC the bolt had...

Ron, that bolt was on it when I acquired it so it's not been changed out since I sold it. The only changes that I can see happened were the stock and the scope. What makes you think it went to the...

Hi Ron, Yes Simon at Highwood sold it on my behalf.

This is a picture below of it sometime after I had it, up for sale with another dealer but I assume before this sale it was in private hands...

Hi Ron, I think my rifle (R-31350) was bought by a UK member on here (at least that's what I deduced from the serial number enquiry he made on here a few years ago) and from seeing his later posts I...

Hi Steve,

I had one just like this (R-31350 with I think the underlined "R" too). It had a Kahles scope and had the 1200tx type stock like this one where the M82 wooden butt extension spacers...
