I’m willing to buy it. Most of the PH I have seen has the BSA stamp on the butt. I need to send the information to a friend also. As soon as I get feedback from him I’ll be happy to get it.
Wait! I’m looking at to many guns. I’m really looking for the two band. Sorry.
Final price update: $1000

Is this rifle still going? If this is parker hale, why isn't everybody buying this rifle?

My 1858 P-H doesn't have any stamp on the butt. Got stuff blocking the safe right now, so I can't check the 1853 and 1861.

From the comments it is difficult to ascertain if this is an original or a replica/defarb. I would say that is why it hasn't sold. I am interested, and I bought a replica P-H on here already.

It looks like I paid 700 for the one I got here. It is pristine and most likely unfired.

English made Parker-Hales usually start at $750 and go up, depending on condition.

It this rifle progressive twist? Can't really tell from the video he took.
The British-made Parker Hale muskets have progressive depth rifling, just like the original Enfields. The OP says this one is from the 70s, so it is British-made. It seems in nice condition with a good bore. It's worth every penny of what he is asking. My guess is that the reason this hasn't sold is because a good set of pics has not been provided. This would include removing the barrel and getting a photo of the markings near the breech on the underside and the serial number, also removing the lock and getting a photo of the inside of it.
That colostomy of the bore was a great Idea.
Not an original. The hammer is not correct.

I agree except - as I posted before, I learned that some of the Parker Hale pattern 1853 (“three-band”) Enfields had 1:48 rifling. I was told that they were made for the U.S. market. I have two PH p1853 Enfields, in both 1:48 and 1:78 rifling. They are both accurate and I’m not convinced that one is better than the other. If I didn’t already have these two I would have made an offer.

PM sent. Hope we are near each other since we are both in the same state and would make for an easier transaction.

There are no "original" Parker-Hale 1853 Enfields. P-H didn't build any Enfields until the 1970s.
