Hi everyone, I am a shooter from Wolverhampton, England. Over the last 30 years or so I have owned and shot a 1957 FN FAL, L1A1 SLR, Lee Enfield No1 mk3, No4 mk1* and currently a No5 mk1 along with bayonet. I am looking forward to finding out more about these rifles on this forum.

Got bit by the US Rifle Cal 30 bug about a year ago and have yet to find a cure
( except something else chambered in 30 cal )

So far I've got 3 Garands, an M1A and just picked up a 43 Remington 03A3.

Looking forward to learning more about these wonderful rifles that defended our country and chatting with folks that are far more knowledgeable than myself.

Thanks,
Howard

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here. Some of you may recognize me from CGN where I can often be found. I'm on here to find out more information regarding a Parker Hale 1200 TX rifle I recently was lucky to acquire. I'm looking forward to learning a lot and possibly answering some questions too!

Hi! Total noobie to this forum and Mil/Surp. Hopefully one of you fine folks can help shed some light on this issue!

I've had this unit for about 30 years or so (bought at an auction for $50) but I've never fired it. I've taken it apart several times and cleaned/lubricated it and it looks like there is no corrosion in the barrel. My question is in regard to the stock. It's shorter than the stocks that I see usually associated with this vintage rifle. It does not have the top rear handguard or the front top/bottom handguard. It looks to me like a standard rifle stock. I don't believe it is a sporterized P14 as it looks like the same era as date of manufacture. Can anyone shed some light on this or should I look for a set of handguards and try to fit them on?

Thanks in advance for your help!
