Parker Hale did some Enfield sporters as well. That is definitely an Enfield, not a Mauser. Looks like a No1 to me though not a No4. Either way, it should have the model stamped on the left side of the receiver, No1 MkIII if I am right, No4 MkI if NAA is right.

BTW I have a very simmalar rifle, mine is a #4 Parker Hale 303 the same as the one in your pic but without the rose wood forend tip. Mine is a very accurate rifle, more accurate than the average out of the box Remchester.

Ha, if you look at the bolt head you will see it's definately a No1 enfield
I was confused by the cocking piece, it looks very square and the grooved cocking pieces on the No1 are normally rounder. Perhaps it a No4 cocking piece.
but the reciever is definately rounder and not a No4 reciever.
Charger bridge is removed and it looks like a nice job. Not the run of the mill bubba. Sling swivels look correct for a PH conversion as well.
is that a Kurtz Muller 4x scope?

mmmm
actually now come to think of it I have that same scope as well.
I have a pile of sporter enfields that all came with various attachments. some are restorable some are not. Parker hale enfield conversions are nice rifles I consider them to be the second nicest but only after the BSA comercial enfields.
I try to restore what rifles I can back to original condition, unless its a proper conversion and not some bubba job.
In my opinion if you get that rifle for less then $200 its a deal
can you make out any of the markings on the right side of the rifle wrist/butsocket, or have they been polished out.

One of the more sophisticated Parker Hale conversions. Barrel would not have originally been 19", so its been shortened. If the barrel has a flat on the top of the breech, its a military barrel, if it is round, its a commercial PH replacement. Stock set is likely by Sile (Italy). PH used their stocks.

All I can see is 605 X on the entire right side. It shoots really well, nice and light and he's cool at $200.00 .... that plus(based on all you gunnutters' helpful discussion) it seems to be a bit of a curio as well .... I think I'll call him later and grab it.
Thanks guys!
