Parker Hale M85 Serial Number Checks & Provenance on Manufacture (Records)

[Roy W]

By serial number the rifle you're referring to will be a Youville castings 1200 type action with the m84/85/86 screwed on bolt release.

So a Mauser 98 commercial action with the Midland style bolt stop.

Basically a Midland with an M98 bolt instead of a 1903 bolt.

Many thanks.

Having done some closer inspections, it is a Parker Hale Scout with some home modifications, in .308
