Husqvarna Sporting Rifles #### - ALL MODELS!!!

Nice replacement stock. Those 1900 deserve way more attention than what they actually get. Even the Zoli ones are simply gorgeous...
 
While I own other rifles, the twin Huskies are my favorite and most used. This one is a 30-06 carbine, it has a Monte Carlo stock and alloy bottom metal. Its got some battle scars and is my main hunting rifle, if it could talk its tales would make the other rifles cry.

My other carbine, in .270. It has a straight comb American style stock, steel bottom metal, and somebody put a Decelerator pad on it. When I bought it the guy told me it likely had less than a box of shells through it. Judging by the complete lack of wear on the bolt race bluing when I first got it, I'm inclined to believe him. This one is a lot more pleasant to shoot at the range and that's mostly what I use it for, but last year I took it out and shot a deer. While definitely not one of my biggest, it might be a contender for the most handsome buck I've killed.

Once in awhile I think about getting a new rifle, but after much thought and fondling of expensive rifles, there simply are not any rifles currently produced for under $2000 that I would rather have. I just wish I still had the irons on mine.

There has been lots of wet weather this year and I am wondering if anyone knows of a source for an aftermarket synthetic stock for the 1600 series rifles. Thanks in advance!

Not many options, a Small Ring M98 stock would fit, but will need some fitting...
 
You will have to work the bottom metal, you may have to bed the action and other slight details.
Be carafull not to order a Small Ring M/94/96/38 stock, as per the action lenght is different.
 
“Wanting to replace” For a friend... so Desperately seeking a Husky -8000 (nitro) in 7mm Rem. I had one in my care until someone accidentally put a .308 round in it one day at the range without looking at what the rifle was actually chambered in....sadly that absolutely beautiful rifle is no more....if ya know of one, I’m interested.
 
Sad story.
Better place a WTB in the EE... BTW, NITRO is just the proof mark, nothing to do with the model or make. Look for a 1900 instead of the "8000" moniker.
 
On one of my Husqvarnas (circa 1964) the last four digits of the 6 digit serial number (on the barrel) are 8401. And as is normal, the "8401" is also electro-penciled under the bolt handle. On a similar rifle rifle (circa 1965). the last four digits of the 6 digit serial number are 7871, and electro-penciled under the bolt handle is the number "7875"); that is, engraved with a "5" instead of a "1" (although there is a "1" stamped further along after the electro-penciled number. I believe it is an unrelated inspector's stamp.) Because it is so close to being the correct number, and also because the bolt is such a perfect fit (smoother cycling than most HVA rifles), I assume this rifle left the factory with this bolt and that the "5" was just a mistake...either a mistake on the part of the engraver, or a mistake on the part of an assembler grabbing the wrong bolt. I believe the former is more likely. I have seen a few minor serial number errors like this before on Swedish rifles.

Well after 10 months, and more hours then i can remember, i completed my second stock (from a very rough semi inlet). Iv yet to shoot it, so that will be the real test. Definitely chomping at the bit to get another one on the go.

Hello, Decker9 - that stock looks very nice!! Good details on fitting the recoil pad, the "shadow line" on the cheek piece and at the pistol grip cap! I notice there are no cross bolts showing - did you do the internal ones? I am a bit curious about your action? Appears to be a military 98 with the charger lip ground off. From your pictures, I can not make out what is written along the left side of the receiver. If that is a Husqvarna, I did not know that they made some some former military actions! What cartridge is your rifle chambered for?
 
Nice replacement stock, Decker9.

Potashminer,

Actually, HVA were involved in the transition of the FN 98 to something that will end into the Supreme action. They introduced their "commercial" M38 before FN did started to think of making "commercial" 98. From 1946 tom 1949, HVA marketed all the transitional M98 phases that will conduct to the Supreme. It started with the charger clip slot lips and the thumb cut-out to be removed and moved on from the "C" ring to the "H" ring. Then, starting in 1949, FN had started manufacturing the commercial actions, with the floorplate release lever, but still using the military bolt shroud.

The 146 and 246 rifles were based on the military actions.

When HVA introduced their 1640 action, it was even more "modern", using a simplified bolt stop/release, a streamlined bolt shroud and a side safety. But they did not have the licence for the patents to produce the 98. HVA stopped dealing with FN before HVA introduced the 1640 (in 1953) which was quite close to what Brno was producing at the time (the famous 21/22 models, which they already had running in full "modern" form in 1948-49).

FN only introduced the similarly finished Supreme late 1956. From 1951, FN had a deal with Sako to produce their rifles (because they were already manufacturing hammered barrels...) and this lasted at least until the late '60s, even after Sako introduced their L61R (in 1962).

Thank you for the compliment!!

Now, I may have a bit to learn here. The rifle belongs to a very close friend of mine, and he inherited it from his father years ago. Going by what my friend tells me, he claims it is a Husqvarna rifle, now, I’m not at all familiar with the husky’s, and when I did some googling, I quickly found that there are a lot of different models out there. The barrel appears to be aftermarket, 26” and chambered in 30-06. On the underside of the barrel it is stamped B.L. FAHLEN 10/20/65. On the right side of the receiver, it’s stamped model 1908, and on the left, it says Deutsche Waffen-und, Munitionsfabriken, Berlin. The stock that was on the rifle, is also an aftermarket stock from what I’m told, so I can’t go off it to match up the model. The stock that was on the rifle, didn’t have any cross bolts, so I never did put any in this stock. Im not to sure what you mean by the charge lip?

I was at work last night when I posted the photos, I don’t have a pc at home, but I can post additional photos in 4 days when I go back to work lol. I’m afraid though that my friend and I may have a mistaken identity in this rifle? I clearly recognize the mauser action, I believe that Husqvarna’s did use some Mauser actions though?

If from this description, can you or anyone can confirm wether this is a Husqvarna for me? If it’s not, I apologize for the confusion and will take down the post, to keep the thread on track :)

Cheers!
