ghost95 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I need another project like I need a hole in the head but...I have a chance to buy a stripped 98 commercial Parker Hale receiver from a friend. It;s drilled and tapped so there wouldn't be too much to do to get it ready for a barrel. Question...Has anyone built one of these receivers? I think they were fore sale at Numerich a while back. This is not the casting or 80% finished receiver but appears to be a receiver that was stripped after being built. Thanks for all your info.

gun nutty Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think the PH's were Santa Barbaras. Should take standard 98 stuff fine. Wonder if these receivers had anything to do with all of the "Cadet" 7.62X51 target barrels that flooded the market. Did they just strip the rifles down to components? There was a 98 PH called the Midland; took a Springfield '03 bolt, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have a few Parker-Hales. Photo's would help to know which one you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailormilan2 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 IIRC, the Midlands take an '03 bolt and ejector/bolt stop assembly. Also, some the later PH receivers that took 98 bolts and parts lack the guide rib cutout in the rear receiver bridge. So, you have to find a bolt that has that part removed. I've seen them on Gunbroker. However, if this is the type you are good to go. It appears to be totally '98 parts approved. :-) http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=339576911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost95 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks for the replys. I think the receivver is like the one in the link so maybe I should get it. I just got 4 receivers and bolts back from heat treating so I have projects a plenty now. Hmmmmm. Thanks again. C- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 The one in sailormilan's link is standard 98 clone. The rear sight mount holes are D&Ted oversized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailormilan2 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 It would be nice to know what they are D&T'd at. Some people don't think the 6x48 screws are stronq enough, and go over size with 8x40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
