Husqvarna Sporting Rifles #### - ALL MODELS!!!
- Thread starter Baribal
- Start date
I'm hoping someone could give me date of mfg on this and some history.
Here's one I picked up at TradeEX in 8x57. SN 1449xx. On the bottom of the action it has this number 2461E. Comes with rear sight flip ups in 100, 200 and 300 meters and front sight cover. Schnabel tip stock presumably Beech. It's a Commercial FN action with military trigger and no thumb cutout. Came with a three hole sidemount and Weaver bases installed.
I could not get the action out of the stock as the forward action screw was rusted shut at the head and trigger guard. I tried everything and after breaking a screwdriver bit I had to mill out the head and punch the action out. Some rust on the barrel bottom just in front of the action, but no serious pitting. Cleaned up nicely and barrel bore appears to be almost new. Seems like it was shot very little and put away wet.

Yes, it's a late model 648 dating of when the 1640 serie was introduced. The stock is of beech and the design was the same as of the early 1640 serie.
Rob, we actually don't know the date of proofing under Swedish regulations, we only know the year of manufacture which, obviously was the same or very close, but the systems is not like the British system were the SN means little while the proof mark is the year that counts... it's the inverse actually.

I am planning on installing it on my Mauser Oberndorf (ca. 1925) sporting rifle.
I'll need to pick up a cocking piece, because it is going to be necessary to anneal it before drilling and tapping, and then rehardening. If I mess up the cocking piece, I'd rather not do it to the original in the rifle.
Managed to find a Lyman wigwag (Model 34?) for the Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine that I made up on a Greek military action.

Thanks Rob and Baribal.
All cleaned and going to glass bed it. A little linseed oil won't hurt it too. The bluing is still very good and the trigger is excellent.
You can see where they stoned, polished it and the sear. The action is very slick and not loose like military 98's.

Husky bolt release
Does anyone on here have an idea where to find a bolt release like the one indicated by the arrow? Tradeex unfortunately only has the scalloped type in stock. I've gone and worn mine out somehow. Poor timing as I have a couple of hunting trips planned and my go to rifle is now out of commission.

Large ring vs. small ring, about 8oz heavier or thereabouts.

I have made a couple, including one my father-in-law did in the bush many years ago while I was guiding. He was a blacksmith,and made it out of an old piece of strap hinge. Did the entire thing with a chain saw file and a hammer.
I was amazed to watch as he did the hole first. Punched the hole using a common five or six inch spike that he filed the end flat and then trimmed around the last quarter inch or so of the flat end until he had the diameter of the hole he wanted. He hit one side, turned it over and hit the other side, and then back to the other repeatedly until he the hole punched through. Did it it a few more times until big enough to accept the small bolt that holds the ejector in place.
He then filed the metal to the shape that was to be inside the receiver until it ejected a case properly. Finally heated it as hot as he could get it in a wood fire, and quenched it in cooking oil. The entire thing was inside the action when installed. Had to reach inside with a finger to move it if you needed to remove the bolt.
It worked for the rest of the season, and the next Spring bear hunt as well. Bevan King made me two new folded ones some time after that.
