Parker hale m82-m87-C3-C3A1 Rifles

rgg 7
The stock rail on the stock has a series of holes to mount the handstop on.
As to which bipod is the right one for the C3A1 off of that sight I am not sure. Mayhaps someone else can speak to that?
regards Tim

It's the Type 2 for sure (based on the C3A1 pics I've seen); I have one and I ain't givin it up :D

Carl,

Got a source for those rubber feet? I could REALLY use them for the bench shooting...

Sling Pics as promised boys!

The original slings used were the custom made ones we had for the C3.

We then went to the old C1A1 green canvas slings - easily obtained.

We now use the Tactical Intervention Specialists Quick Cuff slings in OD green(on the C14 Timberwolf).

Cheers, Carl

Here's what the slings look like.

The C1A1 sling is whats currently used, in addition to the original C3/C3A1 sling. I've seen both used. The only hiccup is that the front sling swivel is smaller then the original C3 ones, so the sling bunches up in the ring a bit.

Enjoy, Carl

This is the current C3A1 Sling - as per the Equipment Checklist and Nato Stock Number

Delta1 - The magazines are parkerized. I do not know a source and can imagine that they are difficult to get.....keep trying...you never know what will surface.

Anybody - Would like to know how many were in the kit?

Carl - thanks for the heads up on posting the sling info....should be invaluable to all the keeners that are dreaming about builds.

Offically, according to the eqpt checklist - qty 2

But that didn't stop the end users from carrying more!

That doesn't even take into account the drag bag - special order that was unofficially made by Tactical Operations - quasi woodland pattern.

Cheers, Carl

"Yet"?? He's had us from post one... :pirate:

Carl,

Looks like those rubber feet will be here in late Feb/early March; do you know if they're compatible with the new PH bipod with the feet that have a rib?

They do, because AI's bipods all are ribbed bottom feet. I used to have a set, but I sold em with my AICS and bipod last year.

Cheers, Carl
 
Carl:
Darn near forgot to ask. On the magazines was the finish just a bluing. The one I have could use some work done to it. The bare metal is showing in more than a few places.
Regards Tim

Parkerising!

Casey at Tactical Ordnance can square you away with parkerising.

He's a true gentleman to deal with as well - loves to talk and is very friendly!

Cheers, Carl
 
Most of the C3 parts are very difficult to obtain. Any idea what the scope, sights, canvas scope case and rifle case are worth. Have only seen one scope for sale and that was a few years ago. It was purchased by a board member from out west to complete his project (since sold).....was a gem! Not sure if the scope was absolutely correct and from memory it was from New Zealand.

The rifle also came with a few more accessories like cleaning kit, cleaning rod , chamber stick, etc. Anybody got any of these items?
