parker hales (.243 and above) are what the keepers around here have in the cabinet so they are deer legal - they come out once every 5 years!

So what your saying is that all keepers in West Berkshire are criminals.

Hmmm why is it you always try to give misleading and often stupid ideas?
1) if they only shot once in five years their good reason to own said rifle is no good.
2) unless of course they lie and fiddle the ammo expenditure which is an criminal act
3) your talking pure bull as per usual

1. and your reason to own your rifles is? if a keeper has 1 deer to shoot every 5 years he has reason, surely??
2. ammo useage is not checked at renewal!
3. yes - happy new year! xx

I don't know what planet your on or if this one what your taking/smoking but ammo usage always comes up on renewal and in Lincolnshire on variations. Shooting a rifle once in five years is not good reson according to the Firearms Licensing Officer and at renewal you have to justify each and everyone again just like the intial granting.

Another question for you Brithunter if I may 
Whilst I had the rifle apart the other night adjusting the trigger a little, I notice that the rifle appears to have been glass bed at some point - this is evident by the brown bedding compound found within the stock.
Would this have been done when the rifle was made, or is it likely to have been done by a previous owner?
I notice that the barrel isn't floating quite as well as I'd like.... a sheet of paper run down the channel is met with some resistance up until the area of the front stock bolt.
Trigger is great though

Gary,
Some models were glass bedded, the 1200V which has a factory floated barrel
aimed squarely at the American market as V= Varmint. The 1100 Lwt had glass bedding at the recoil lug and front receiver ring but it has a pressure point about 3/4"-1" back from the forestock tip then is relieved from that to the barrel reinforce. Chamber section/swell. The 1200TX was also glass bedded with free floated barrel and lastly the 1100M "African Magnum" was glass bedded. The 1200 Super, 1100 deluxe and 1000 std were not glass bedded. I am not sure about the M81 classic.
It seems that it depended on when the rifle was made. Remember Parker-Hale changed hands/management a couple of times so ideas changed a little.
Oh yes check the bedding compound is firmly in place. I say this as it had started to break away in the 1200V but I am not sure if a previous own had been playing with it or not. I had to take it out and re-do the bedding on that one. Only a few models had free floated barrels and my 7.92mm 1200 Super will not shoot well with a floated barrel but with the correct pressure at the forestock bedding point it shoots Privi 196 GR sp into MOA. Floated it was giving 6"-8" patterns so if you float it be aware you might have to replace the bedding pressure point.
Not quite on topic but I may have mentoned to BH that my PH 308 Norma Magnum has a severely warped stock? Well, yesterday, I was in a pawn shop in the city waiting for a wreck to clear from the highway east (3 hour wait) and found a Parher Hale stock identical to the one on my 308 Norma. Unfortunately, someone had set into it a 1909 Argentine Mauser barreled action that had been reamed with a 30-06 reamer (making it a .312-06) and the fellow wouldn't budge from the $300 price. I like 1909 Argentine actions but have a few. If it was unaltered (7,63x53 Argentine) I would have bought it. Instead, I offered him $100 for the stock with a promise I'd return with my old PH stock which was more suited to that ba$tard of a barreled action. He declined with a smug look on his face: Like, "I got this one on the hook!"
I flipped him my card and told him to call me when he changes his mind. I guess I'll find out eventually! ~Muir

I'd take it off your hands for that price if I was on your side of the atlantic... Always wanted me a 1909 actioned rifle and a .312-06 would be a capable cartridge I'd imagine! Even if it did mean a bit of musical-dies
You can load the round using a 30-06 FL die with a .303 expander ball. Works fine. I've shot them quite a bit as they were a popular "conversion" here at one time. What irks me is that the guys who reamed these barrels just stamped them "30-06" and accuracy was hit and miss for the poor, unsuspecting buyer. It is a shame that this barreled action was messed with as it was otherwise left in straight military condition. As a balance, I later saw an as-issued 1909 Argentine in pristine condition, matching numbers throughout, for $395. Which is the better buy, I ask you??
I have a 6.5-06 (yes, I do... hard as it is for some to believe, I was a real hotrodder at one time) on a 1909 Argentine. Nice DWM actions.~Muir

yeah I thought it would be something like that. That as-issued 1909 sounds nice, and I guess a better deal. However, as much as I like old service weapons I'd find more use for a sporter. But that's not to say I'd pay the difference for a crap one.
You're 6.5-06 sounds nice too, wouldn't mind one in that cal either!

An interesting thing came out whilst reading a Parker-Hale catalogue, which seems the only way to find out some true information on them
, and it seems certain finishes and styles were made for certain markets and the blacked bolts were destined for the Swedish market. This was found in the foreword of the #70 catalogue.Another issue with Parker-Hale is that they made special production runs that were not listed it seems. Although I ahve yet to complete my catalogue collection and have many years to find yet none that I have or seen list the 7.92mm chambering yet we know they made a run of them as back int eh late 1980's Yorks Guns were advertising some as over runs from that special order and I acquired one some years later still NIB. It would be nice to find out about any other special production runs in different chamberings.
We know the chambered some in 440 Jeffries, 7x64 wasa std chambering but someone asked about 9.3mm and so far I have not found any listings for any 9.3mm cartridge which seems strange when they were finishing rifles specially for Swedish preferences and 9.3x62 is popular up there
. Hmmm and Armalon broughtt he P-H hammer forging plant and doing a search I see they do list 9.3x62 ................................ so the search form more P-H information continues.

That can happen with hot bluing so I hear. The barrel on my factory std BSA Supersport Five has gone a plum colour.
