Parker Hale receiver ID?

**TJ429** · 10-10-2016 02:24 PM

Hello,

I finally have some time to get around to finishing some projects. I'm trying to ID the Parker Hale receiver in the attached pics. It's similar to the M84, but this is a repeater. I saw another post that listed this as an M85, but it doesn't have the rear sight protectors. I saw another post that listed it as an M86 or M87, but it's missing the milled spot between the two Screw holes on the front ring that I've seen on the M87). A heavy Parker Hale marked Mauser-type barrel screws in nicely.

Any ideas?

Thanks much.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Ted,
What you have there is an M86 produced from my original records on the 8th of June 1989 through the PARKER HALE works. It appears in a row of .243 entries so I am assuming that was the calibre.
It was shooting 14.3mm group at 100 yards with 10 rounds.
No scope fitted for the customer who was Precision Sports at the time. Sorry no address for them.
Hope that helps you with the history as recorded.
Gil
