    Lightbulb A.G. and A.J. Parker and Parker-Hale Service Rifle Target Sights

    With thanks to MILSURPS.COM member, Oatmeal Savage.....

    He found an excellent link to the U.K. National Rifle Association Historic Arms Resource Centre (click here). One of the topics covered in detail is a very detailed set of articles, pictures and operating instructions on all of their various models of sights, as illustrated in their catalogues over 60 years ~ 1920 to 1980.

    Details of the various rifle sights and adapters made by A.G. and A.J. Parker and Parker-Hale Service Rifle Target Sights (click here)

    Accordingly, we have updated various MKLicon entries with this information.

    Regards,
    Badger

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I've been watching some E-Bay auctions trying to get one for doing a little precession shooting. Boy, they can get truly expensive. I just have to keep looking-SDH

    If anyone collects these Parker and Parker-Hale sights they ought to be advised that what the thread showing them doesn't mention or illustrate is the sheer variety and detail of the variations within each sub group such as the 5's! There are tens of sub variants including quick release plungers, plunger at the front or rear, anti backlash balls, coarse or fine lead screw threads, square or dovetail type cursor arms......... I could go on and on! And let's not forget the 1/8" BSF thumbscrew thread....., a thread that I didn't even recognise as existing! There's 5's, 5C's, D's and the 5CD version too....., phew!

    They are now expensive but they were expensive when they were being produced. This is reflected in the even more expensive price now. But they ain't makin' no more.

  7. Thank You to Peter Laidler For This Useful Post:

    When DCRA shooting back in the early 60's I paid $25.00 for my Parker Hale 5c from S. I. Robinson in Winnipeg. That was alot of money for me in those days, should have bought many more...no should have bought IBM stock.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
