Here are photos of my Interarms 7x57 Zastava-Mauser. There has always been some confusion between the Interarms imports and Parker-Hale, being that they were quite similar in many ways, including the use of Zastava actions. The receiver is stamped Interarms, Birmingham England, Alexandria, Virginia. I have what I believe to be one of these it bears Yugoslavian proofs but is not stamped Mark X. Some Zastava barreled actions were also stocked in England for Interarms. The Churchills were made in an African safari rifle configuration. The Churchill and Whitworth guns were of excellent quality. Interarms also imported rifles built by Churchill in England as the "1 of 1000" series. Sam Cummings and Interarms had nothing to do with Parker-Hale, as far as I know.Īs you mention, Whitworth built rifles in England on Zastava actions for Interarms. Val bought The Old Western Scrounger when Dangerous Dave retired (my previous post was ambiguous on that point, I wasn't sure if Dangerous Dave had retired or if he had died). His business is located in West Virginia. If you go into the 'Firearms and optics' sub forum and perform a search on Parker Hale there are at least 15 pages of threads.Ĭlick to expand.No, I just looked it up and the Parker-Hale guy is Val Forgett, the owner of Navy Arms. PH rifles can be dated by the crossed swords stamps on the underside of the barrel or action.Įdit: I went and had a closer look at the link about and it only gives about 5 pages of threads. There was a fella on there called Brithunter that wrote extensively about them. The key forum that holds a wealth on info on Parker Hale rifles is 'The Hunters Life'. Later models 1100, 1200 etc used the Santa Barbara actions with no thumb cutout, trigger with side safety, allow floor plate. It had the military style trigger, steel floorplate with no trigger bow button to release, low swing over safety on the bolt c0cking piece and a thumb cutout on the LHS of the action. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our!Īpparently the early PH rifles used captured military actions.

The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to. They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things. Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board.
