Parker Hale serial number check M86/M87

**Molonlave** · 07-07-2022 05:06 PM

Looking for a serial number check on a Parker hale action. It was labeled as M86. I think M87 is correct.

Serial number 02096C

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.

That number is not logged in the files but numbers close to it are, and definately M86 rifles ie 02098c built on the 24th July 1987, sorry can't be more definitive on the search

Thank you!

Any record of 02139C?

**Gil Boyd** · 08-25-2022 04:04 PM

Andrew,
Nothing logged in the records I'm afraid.

If 02139C is the one on Gunbroker that sold yesterday - it's an M86. These were surplus receivers that were sold by Numrich (Gun Parts) a couple years back. You see quite a few of these for sale. Pls check the hardness as some of these were not heat treated - in fact Numrich has a warning on the packaging.

Hi Gil,
Any record of 02106C? Currently for sale on GunBroker as another unfinished receiver. It is listed as an M98 receiver so it may go for cheap if anyone here is interested.

A few years back these parts were widely available from the closure of Parke Hale, many I saw were partially finished & hadn't been hardened. Perhaps that's why this one is not on the list.

02103C is there as an M86 produced 24th July 1987 sold to Precision Sports. Loads around the actual number but no record 02106C
