Repair Instructions. Last Updated on Mon. How to remove the stock from a parker hale 270? Your Owners Manual EAA Model MP153. Gibbs thus made the Parker- Hale and Midland branded rifles in the US in an array of options from cheap sporters to African game. 6mm Rem,.270, 6.5 x 55, 7. Feb 11, 2012 Fixing up my old rifle. Part two of the Parker hale restoration. I will hopefully pass this thing on to my kids or grandkids someday.

The Parker-Hale you describe is most likely built on a Santa Barbera action. Some were built on a BRNO ZG47 action but these are very rare and I've never seen one in 300 Win. Only 308 Norma. I've never seen a Foremost 6500.

The common models were the 1200, the 1000, and the 1200C (detachable magazine). The actions are pretty decent commercial mauser. Not quite the quality level of the FN but functionally, quite good. Bolt handle is homely. The triggers were adjustable but were a bit of a turkey. Some one once commented that the best attribute of the trigger was that it was reasonably areodynamic so it flew well out when you threw it into a lake and was heavy enough that it sank quickly.

The zinc alloy housing, fragile safety lever and chinzy gold plating on the finger lever didn't add up to quality. As a Canadian-based gunsmith, I worked on and shot a lot of Parker-hales and most shot very well. I disliked the detachable magazine models which were prone to feeding problems. I didn't much care for the stock styling but the wood was of good quality and well fitted and finished. GD - 05/31/09 Re: What's your opinion on Parker-Hale rifles quality/accuracy?

It is now accurate after we bedded it and floated the barrel. Rather light in weight for a wood stocked gun but the stock is reasonably welldesigned to handle recoil. The trigger is a bit odd and I can see where it is fragile. I would likely replace hers but she doesn't hunt as much as she used to. Oh yes, the original recoil pad took a set in the gun cabinet and grew quite hard. It has a Decelerator on it now. There was a test on one not too long ago that essentially said the same.

It went on to say that the 1 in 10 twist didn't help accuracy with heavier bullets. - 06/02/09 Re: What's your opinion on Parker-Hale rifles quality/accuracy? [] Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 7,076 Campfire Tracker Campfire Tracker Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 7,076. Foremost was a J.C.

Penny brand back in the day. Yes, they did sell guns at one time. They worked it the same way that Sears, Wards, Western Auto etc. They would work a deal with a firearms manufacturer to produce a model to their specs with their brand stamped on it. Mossberg, Savage, Remington, Winchester, Marlin, Parker Hale and many others were involved in manufacturing guns for the major U.S. Catalog outlets. Usually the catalog store models were just a little different from the normal model and sold just a little cheaper.

Most of the differences were only cosmetic. Still a quality gun but it wouldn't quite look the same as the manufacturer branded gun.
