Last use of the Midland name would appear to be a pretty sad rifle cobbled up by Parker Hale from surplus Springfield bolts and a newly made hybrid action. There were many complaints of poor quality and poor fitting of stocks, barrels and triggers.
The very last of them possibly yes. Over here if you want a reasonably priced rifle, cz is the one to go for, and has been for the past 50 years. PH were trying to compete with them at a time when gun laws were being tightened in the uk, they were doomed to failure.
The midland i had was beech stocked, but with a mauser action, the metal work was free from tool marks, very well polished and the bluing was extremely good (much better than on the vast majority of modern rifles). I sold it to buy something else and regretted it ever since.
