Does anyone know if the tooling/machinery used to make the Husqvarna rifles is still in use?

It was, as in when HVA merged its production to Carl Gustaf, this was then sold to Zolli (who then continued to make the 1900 until circa 2020). They bought the rights, the designs and the machinery. I'm certain they would have used it for a long time afterwards. But 50 years later? I doubt it, certainly not all of the machines. Even oldskool machine tools wear out beyond the economics of repair.

EDIT: I'm sure some of that machinery still exists, but I'm certain it no longer makes production rifles, and certainly not HVAs and derivatives). This is my guess only, but I think I'm on the money with it.

I'd imagine everything today by Zoli is CNC machined for main components.
Small stuff likely MIM/CAST, that's pretty on par with any modern day gun maker.

Maybe you should read the sellers description and do some due diligence? Alternatively you could crawl back under the bridge you came out from.

The sellers description was "overall good+" condition.

Does that sound familiar to you in your mom's basement ?

It's long gone, pretty sure.

What was sold to several sources, including EBO in Greece, was the 1900 machinery. The 1640 machinery was most likely the old CG 94/96 revamped, so it would now be really worn out.

AFAIK, for the receiver, they start with high alloyed bar stock.

It's not my experience. Maybe should you have contacted the seller instead of making grant posts. Maybe your expectations were too high?
What did you buy that was so bad?

Good+ usually means it's worth buying. I have a few that were graded as such and I used the pics to judge if I wanted to buy it or not. Bummer you go a lemon.

Maybe you can advise people that "good+ condition" is how you grade it and it can be a real POS!

You're tha' man !

How about "shootable wall hanger plus very good" ? That would be a bestseller....
