C bardwell Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Has anybody ever heard of a bottom plate conversion that would fit a Parker hale 308 ? Think it's a 1200 safari cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 You may have more luck searching for conversion from bottom plate to magazine ( if that’s what you’re after ) for the Remington 700 BDL, which unless I’m mistaken, is more or less the same Mauser action. I know they were available for the 700 as I had one many moons ago, and considered having mine converted at the time, and I know the Parker-Hale Police 1200 in .308 had a magazine. I have an old PH catalogue somewhere; I’ll ratch it out and see if theres anything relevant in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 There were some PH's that had detachable magazines, not sure if they would be compatible with your 1200. There is a gunsmith called Norman Clark who bought up all the PH stock. He may well be able to advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 There were variants of the 1200's which had detachable magazines. Basically a M98 mauser, if I remember correctly, bottom metal and magazine conversions are available. But speak to the folks recommended in the above post first. I'd be interested in seeing the results if you go down this route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 May be easier to put a military floor plate trigger guard on and then use a Numrich Mauser 98 magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
