Parker Hale Safari in 308 info

[bsmitty27]

I recently purchased a Parker Hale Safari in 308 with 20" barrel. It is wearing a nice walnut mannlicher stock, Which I know is not factory, it has matching numbers on receiver, and bolt, D 631
It also has proof markings which I believe makes it proofed in 1962-63

MXB
2

The M = makes the year the 2 = is the inspector and the B = Birmingham Proof house. It has the cut out on left side of action
What Im wondering is, where was the action made I believe it is pre Santa Barbara.
I will try to get pics up tonight if I can figure out how to do it now that photo bucket is gone.
Thanks
Brad
