I understand Navy Arms bought Parker-Hale machinery and shortened up Lee-Enfields to make these carbines. The crown at the muzzle and the stock work look just like they came from a factory. Mine shoots very well. Had it out for a range session yesterday - with Lyman 210gr 314299 and 16gr Blue Dot 5 shots into 3.3” at 100yd. (Greek military hardball 5 shots into 4.4”, 4 of those into 2.25”, same range.) With sight on 200yd CBs were on point of aim, hardball 4” higher. This is a solid, handy, accurate rifle.
