    Ari,
    I can confirm that Parker Hale M85 serial number 00282F was completed on the 27th April 1987, and built by Eddie Taff Chief Engineer.
    It fired a 14.5mm group @100 yards with 10 rounds.
    No scope was ordered or fitted with this order.

    It was built into a GREEN NATO stock and sold to the Germanicon Army under contract 10682 with 4 other M85 rifles.......232F/259F/281F/275F all were supplied without scopes fitted.
    That is all the information recorded in the PH records
