Parker Hale M82 Rifles

[Promo]

Did a few pictures of my two Parker-Hale M82 rifles and had hoped to learn something on those.


Top rifle is serial R-30120 which I got told is listed in Parker-Hale books as

R30120 SOLD TO MR T. HALLAM 5/11/1996 FROM CANADA AS M82'S ORIGINALLY

T. Hallam means Charnwood Ordnance, for what I've been told. Note the rifle also has the rifle serial stamped on bottom of the pistol grip. I also have the handstop and bipod for it (plus open sights), but the screw head of the handstop seems to have been messed with a bit, so have to fix that first. For what I was able to understand is that this rifle therefore is one of the former Canadian M82 sniper rifles, hence if someone has a lead on a Kahles ZF69 from the Canadian contract with the correct scope rings for this rifle...



Bottom rifle is serial R-33458, listed in Parker-Hale books as

M82 ENTRY 609 and sold to a Mr T HALLAM of Canada on the 5/11/1996

.. as posted on this forum. Not sure if this indicates that this rifle also was a former Canadian sniper rifle, but seems to have been sold to the very same person as the other rifle. It came complete with diopter rear sight as well as a Pecar variable power scope.


Would appreciate if someone could teach me whether it is possible to verify one or both as former Canadian sniper rifle.


If there is interest, I also have a PH M85 rifle, can do some pictures of this one too.
