waynewjw 2 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Acquired two Parker Hale rifles, unfired, still packed with grease on the bolt. I need help identifying the first of the two. It is a PH Safari 30-06. Proof Marks date it as 1970 mfg. has two lugs on the bolt, 23 3/4" barrel, high sheen bluing finish. The stock is birch? and doesn't have the rosewood end and cap piece. It is factory drilled and tapped for scope bases. The bolt has not engraving on it, but the safety which is a matte finish has PH circled. My question is does anybody know who made the action? It's not Spanish, as what I've been told is SPAIN was ground out of the tang but no such marking on this rifle. And would anybody know what model this rifle is? Thanks in advance for any info.

waynewjw 2 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Pretty sure it's not a 1200 as no rosewood fore end and grip gap. And no faint "spain" engraved or ground out markings. Quote Link to post

waynewjw 2 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 So to help you guys determine what the heck I've got, here are some photo's that will perhaps help determine who made the receiver. Based on the crossed swords ID it is a definite mfg. date of 1970. Knowledgeable input would be valued. Cheers waynewjw Quote Link to post
