supergnome Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I was offered an old Parker Hale,the chamber was marked 762 . Can I put this on my cert in a 308 slot?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 yes , I have one , It's an M82 otherwise identical to the TX1200 which is what I suspect you have . It's on my fac as 7.62 /.308. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 There should be no problem if it's sorted with the FLO-they are in effect the same...but....there is something of an 'administative' difference between authority to acquire a 308/7.62 rifle and either of those calibres specified alone, and not matching up the rifle marking eg a 308 authority against a 7.62 rifle and vice versa. It derives partly from inconsistency,but also FLO trying to be helpful-they will give any of 7.62,308,or 7.62/308 if asked....it's such a common issue that arises later when the actual rifle isn't available at the time the FAC authority is granted.It's also something of a calibre/cartridge thing,but "308/7.62" covers it all;best sort it out-otherwise it will come back to you. Marty may/not have had 7.62/307 on his FAC in advance...7.62/308 covers it,so no issue at all. Is there any reason you can't ask your FLO-after all,that is the opinion that really matters-can't see a problem,worst scenario is FLO may want FAC authority amended to 7.62 or 7.62/308.....if so,maybe best to comply....or risk at least some awkward issues...why?Ask-may be no problem at all,as it's a distinction with no effective difference,and FLOs will probably agree....on this at least FLO will be on your side...play safe? gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGYT Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 if you do need the 7.62/308 amended make sure you remember to get the ammo allocation to match as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalua Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 yes , I have one , It's an M82 otherwise identical to the TX1200 which is what I suspect you have . It might be so, but my P-H 7.62 is a T4 - a civillian target rifle based on a No4 Mk2 action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergnome Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Not sure what model it is but its heavy, long barrel, synthetic stock, single shot and very cheap. I will have another look. Only wanted it to start up shooting centrefire rifles and re-learn load developement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casebar Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Synthetic stock? have you got any pics you could post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalua Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I saw a TX1200 in a shop in Lancashire a year or so ago the stock of which had been painted matt black. I thought that had a synthetic stock, until I was put right by the vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971silversurfer Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Will it not have had a Mauser action synthetic stock added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergnome Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 A dealer is selling it for the owner so I can't easily get photos of it. I don't want to appear too keen. When the bolt is drawn back there are two screws holding the action to the stock which is grey in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
