Parker Hale T4

Really your typical heavy barrel No.4 in 7.62. Generally similar to the Enforcers. Better stocks etc than the L42A1 rifles. Pretty good shooters when set up well.

So you’d say they shoot as well as the L39/L42’s?
Would the Parker Hale barrels be considered better, worse, or basically same-same quality wise/accuracy potential as the L39/L42 barrels ??

If I remember correctly Enfield made the hammer forged barrels for 39/42 7.62 conversions. Excellent shooters. Parker Hale barrels are also fabulous. I have used dozens either on actual PH rifles 81/82/84/85/87 or used to build Mauser based rifles. It's sort of an Red Delicious apple to Cosmic Crisp apple comparison, personal preference and availability. Really finding any factory heavy barrel No.4 in 7.62 in the US is a happy day and an enjoyable rifle. Most of the target versions are reasonably affordable, while the L39/42 rifles have gotten stupid. Example, I once bought an L42A1 in its transit chest with matching optics and all accessories for $1500. I think there is one on GB now for $15000 or more.
