Parker hale m82-m87-C3-C3A1 Rifles

The list that was recovered from the Parker Hale bankruptcy records sales to a couple dealers in the UK. There are a total of 56 1220TX's listed as "M82's from Canada". The majority went to T Hallam (Charnwood Industries) for resale. A few of these have resurfaced for sale in the UK and Germany.

"R-39712" is not on the list.

Thanks again
 
I was fortunate to get a copy of the remaining C3 and C3a1Parker Hale records. A handfull of these serial numbers have shown up in the past 5 years - mostly from gun club members in the UK and Germany - I know of 3 imported to Canada and 1 the USA.

You have a very solid foundation for a C3 build. Is this single shot? and did you take out of the stock to check date code? Send me a picture of what you see - It may be the correct C3 build date which would be awesome!

Funny, I do see them come up in Germany more so than here. Another M82 is on sale yet again.

Hi Ron, the rifle is single shot but the stock has a cut out where a loose magazine spring and follower sit and it allows for a single cartridge to be inserted onto the follower. I'm not sure if that is just how they came or not. The date code on the barrel is ZB, 3. From a quick search I did that indicates 1974? Would love to hear your thoughts.
 
I still have my original C3 sniper pam from my course in 1976
They were brand new PH 1200 s and new Zf69 Kahles scopes .
we also learned the PH micrometer sights as well. Complete lit included the spotting scopes.
we used USA 7.62 NATO ammo I think it was M118 National Match ammo ?
First time I learned the "Hawkins" position on that course.
I was very lucky my instructor was the great DCRA marksman , ex Brit sniper Larry Fish.
 
Actually saw two sets of parker hale bases at the Warburg gunshow today, 20$ a set. Did a double take. Hadnt seen them in years.
