    1996?!?!?!
    I am wondering about the year of production, when did they shut the Parker Hale production down?
    your rifle R33434 was a Canadian contract C3 which was traded back to PH (towards a C3A1) in approx. 1990, refurbished and sold commercially.

    Your rifle would have originally shipped to Canada in approx. 1973-75
    BSN from the Republic of Alberta
