The Midland rifle was an interesting hodgepodge of parts assembled by Parker Hale into an economy rifle. The Gibbs Rifle Company was a spinoff of Navy Arms, and acquired the assets when PH folded.
An 03A3 bolt was used. The safety was deleted, and the hole plugged. The cast receiver has the footprint of a sporting 98 Mauser. The barrel is essentially a commercial 98 with a slightly longer shank. The trigger guard/magazine with hinged floorplate is a standard cast PH mauser sporting unit. The trigger assembly is a PH Mauser with a different seat. The stock is a Sile Mauser sporter, carved in Italyicon.
The Springfield bolt nose is shaped to fit a coned breech barrel. The Mauser type barrel has a flat face. The receiver does not have the inner collar of the true Mauser 98. Consequently, the head of the cartridge case is hanging out in the air.
