    Could be a SUPER CLIP, SCOUT or SPORTER to me with that number. As SPORTER's started at C07 to C08*** and most went to York Guns.

    Strange that there are NO C09*** recorded in the files at all!!
    The info provided to HOLTS is very vague Metropolitan Sniper!!!! not during my service!

    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.

    Any info on R-37288? Very nice single shot 1200TX with a 1974 dated barrel. I was told it came from a former Canadian Olympic shooter (?) but I did not get a name or any more info as it came from a pawn shop. I have talked to rgg_7 as I am also in Canadaicon, and he thinks it may be a restamped "P" based on some pictures I sent him of the receiver. I am still curious anyways.

    Any info on R-23594? I have an opportunity to purchase this, it is in a target stock and I think 24" barrel, but does have the M82 Parker Hale sights/bases with the heavy rear sight base. That's all I know about it.

    Pretty much my first post here but I have been a member and lurking around for some time! Thanks all.

    If the barrel on R-37228 is dated 1974 it's correct for the action. R-37228 would be near the end of the c3 serial range.

    Are R-23594 bases steel? That is right in the prime C3 serial range.

    Tarrantula,

    Your rifle Parker Hale M82 S/N R-23594 is recorded in entry 638 in the PH register and sold to Mr T Hallam on the 5/11/96 came from Canadaicon and marked as an M82 originally.
    Sadly nothing at all on R-37228 but would have been included within the number range of the C3 Canadian production run which went up to 38000.
    PH employees did not record the rifles original serial numbers before they were C3'd which would have made many records complete for owners today and provided the rifles history and provenance.

    Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. Very interesting stuff. I do believe that R-23594 has the steel bases.

    Sorry Gil, the number on the 1200TX was R-37288. It is a really nice piece in any case, and I haven't shot it yet.

    I also have a built up clip fed C prefix rifle that sits in a 1200 stock, heavy 26" barrel, replica C3 bipod/sling and Kahles Helia 3-9 that shoots really well. I only started down the rabbit hole of the 1200/M82/C3 a couple years back but I'm always looking to add new stuff to the collection! Thanks again for the information guys, I'll try and post some pics soon!

    Ari,
    Could you tell me what barrel your rifle has please as I have a Pro Stalker shown with 40 as its last two digits no other numbers?
    A lot of S prefix M81's were sold to York Arms in the UKicon in and around your number FYI.
