I picked this scope up several years ago, but didn't have time to really look at it. I felt something was up when the camo paint covered everything including where the rings should be and the underside of the turret complex. If you've painted a scoped rifle, you don't really get the underside of...
Found a scope and mount! I also have the rear sight, but my picture of it is not in focus. I'll post one later.
The milled relief to accommodate the rear sight is visible below:
PH RALS rings will attach to the M85 receiver if a one piece mount is not available
OP: great project! Now you've got the bug, and speaking from experience, you'll be searching for PH stuff in the depths of Mordor. Keep the pictures coming!
Question for the experts out there: was original M82 bottom metal steel or aluminum?
For your viewing pleasure
From Parker Hale records:
This Parker Hale M85 was completed on the 27th April 1987, and built by Eddie Taff Chief Engineer.
It fired a 14.5mm group @100 yards with 10 rounds.
No scope...
Terry of Illinois: been there brother and that shit is not funny.
Mike70 brought up a good point yesterday. I didn't realize in a few weeks it will be a year ago that I first listed this!
How pathetic! It's time for this post to be put to rest. Thanks to all for the compliments and encouragement.
Let's give this one last shot!

When using the XTSP Mk13 trigger, is it necessary to modify the inlet of the MK13 mod 7 chassis in the trigger area? If so, can anyone post a photo?
I'm looking for some information about the trial for the M40a6 upgrade. The specific area I'm trying to obtain clarification is the stocks provided by Accuracy International and the configuration of the barreled actions used during testing. It appears...
This is exactly the info I was looking for. Many Thanks!
I had the pleasure of speaking with Marty a while back while ordering a couple M40a6 lugs and he was a wealth of knowledge about the issues related to this topic. He focused primarily on the challenges with the RACS chassis. I wasn't...
You bring up an excellent point. I doubt the ASR program would have been initiated had they selected the AI PSR. But, I'm a self admitted AI fan boy, and thus my opinion is heavily biased :D
