    Parker Hale M85 Manuals/Documents

    Does anyone have any scans or good photos of any of the manuals and booklets commonly associated with the PH M85? I found some older threads on the site where they had been posted but due to the loss of images last year they can no longer be accessed. Any help is much appreciated!

    I have a spare parts manual so no need for that one!

    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.

    Hi Jacob

    Here's one of the manuals attached. Hope the attachment works. It's in two parts as too large a file.

    If it's for the rifle I'm thinking of that was a great purchase with the transit case etc. at a great price listed for only a few hours. I only saw the listing an hour or so after it had sold!

    It looks very much like the first owner had it from new.

    Many thanks! It is that rifle, I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands on it once my 1-1 variation is back! It seems like a nice set, I will likely make a post on it once it's officially mine.

    Gents, hopefully this works, see attached copy of the Operating manual that I have. this was in an A5 booklet format. hopefully this works. If anyone is interested I also have one of the original sales brochures... It is Trifold A4 so may tax my skills for scanning!
    Regards

    I unfortunately don't have it anymore, I really liked it while I had it, it was a wonderful kit but I had the opportunity shortly after getting it to trade in to an AI Green Meanie which is one of my two 'dream rifles' for not much extra dosh so it went sadly but will definitely look to get one back in the future, ideally one in the Jungle pattern stock to match my PH CGP prototype!
