Parker Hale M82 Clone

G'day folks. Interesting info on this post. I've just bought an M82 clone from an-ex RAA sniper. So have been trawling the Web seeking to expand my knowledge.
I first handled an issue M82 back in the early 80's as a young RAAF Armament Technician. My trade not only included all weapons, EO, escape systems on aircraft but also all the small arms in use by the RAAF.
Being a country kid, brought up on shooting, hunting, fishing, any wonder I chose the military trade as a 'Gunnie' that I did! LOL
When the first couple of M82's came into the service bay for annual service, I was in 2nd heaven!!! So the M82 has always been one of the rifles on my long term wish list.
This one was built up with original PH1200T action, correct PH mounts & rings, stock fittings, correct pattern stock, PH iron sights and a Lothar Walther barrel in the right spec's and profile.
The only thing missing is the scope!
Man, Khales ZF69 6x42 BDC scope are rare as rocking horse dung!!! Guess I'll just have to be patient eh! LOL
As a temporary stand in, I picked up a nice period correct Khales Helia 6x42 with 7A reticle, steel tube. Will be sending it off for a full refurb tomorrow.
Looking forward to hearing & learning from other M82 owners.
Regards

Your PVA prefit experience

Sold another 6 ARC barrel you for guys! I need to start getting commissions! ;)
Same thing here. Got a customer of mine who now swears by PVA and PVA only. Thanks for hooking him up Josh! He has nothing but great things to say about you guys and tells anyone who will listen to him.

Also, finally got around to breaking in my 300 PRC barrel from the Group Buy. Love it.

Tacos

don't take it too seriously. all tacos are not supreme versions. :p
where do you live that doesn't have any mexican food? :oops:
actually i met a middle aged couple once from somewhere in the midwest that had never had a shrimp.
Pretty much dead-center of the mitten. There's a place in town that's edible, but it's not what I'd call good.

When we lived outside Detroit, we could go to Mexicantown and get decent food.
