Hello, after reading this thread and Pming Baribal,I ordered a husky from TEC. It arrived in less than a week. Now I wonder what the model # is. It looks like a 648 but the safety is diferent than those pics here. Any help is appreciated.

In Nov/84 issue of Petersens Hunting magazine Bob Robb reviewed the Carl Gustaf mod 3000 rifle .It was made with a Sauer action made possible by the purchase of these actions from Colt.Does anyone have one or has anyone seen one . Thank you-hessels
 
hardek,

from the little I can make from the pictures, the safety is an aftermaket one. The model is definitely a M/648.

I've seen several and there were some for sale at Trade Ex this year (don't know if they're sold). There is really very little collecting interest for these rifles (excep for Sauer collectors, maybe). They are well made rifles. Quite a lot still in use in Europe too.
 
A convertible!

I finally got this one sorted out :)

I live in Grizzly and Buffalo country, and wanted something that could take either one, if necessary. I've also been considering Africa in another year or two, so wanted something versatile enough to take with me.

I enjoy peep sights, and didn't want to have to carry the weight of a scope and mounts on hikes and while camping. I also wanted the ability to mount a scope quickly if a Moose, Caribou, or Elk hunt was in the cards, or for Plains game.

Thus the convertible! I think I have a winner.

And now the convertible part!

The rifle is an 1947 Husqvarna, original chambering is 9.3X62.
The action is an early FN98 made in Herstal. The trigger is now a Huber concepts. Scope is a Weaver 1.5X-4X Variable.

That, Even2, is one practical rifle. And pretty, in it's real-world, get the job done workability.

How well do those rings return to zero?. And the peep bar, does it replace to POI?.

I've been searching high and low for a decent walnut snable stock for my FN actioned Husky 9.3x62, ... missed out on a nice original Husqvarna that posted on the EE last long weekend, ... shouldn't have gone for that too-long paddle/camp, I guess. :confused:
 
Thanks much...I think there is beauty in practicality too ;)

The rings and bases are both Warne, which seem to have an excellent reputation. I have yet to put them to a torture test, but will in the next little while. The set I have on another rifle has been excellent, returning to POI each time, after several removals, so I can't see these being different.

The Lyman peep has a set screw for adjusting vertical return on the removable section, which is set up to rest on the receiver. The machining is very fine on the vertical tracks, with no play. It returns to exactly where I left it, each time. Go for the old, steel Lyman sights though, from the early half of the century. The aluminum ones aren't as good, and bulkier. Ebay is a good source.
 
Thank's for the tip. The older stuff looks right on these rifles, and is better made IMO.
My rifle wears a fine old El Paso Weaver 2.5X in Leupold QRW's. Have a pre-zeroed 4X Lyman Perma-center in the same rings, for open country shots or back-up. Happy with that set up, except that these eyes need a peep of late, to hit diddly squat with the irons.
That, and the sharp-edged QRW levers stick out a bit too much for my liking.

Commercial FN98's, built/barreled by Husqvarna, are the most desirable rifles of all to this shooter. :)

Click to expand...

How is the return-to-zero on the QRWs? I bought a set a while back for my husqvarna 1600std. I have yet to install them because I have to do a scope shuffle, and as much as I like shooting, re-sighting in three rifles is a PITA.
 
Only had the QRW's on/off/on the once so far .... they held zero to within a half MOA or so, that particular time.
Further testing required.
The 9.3x62 has been neglected of late, while I've been hunting for a proper walnut replacement stock. The orginal is whitewood, and way too short.
 
Sorry for posting a Shotgun related question in here, but I believe all Husqvarna 'nerds' hang around this thread.
Q. How could I find the chamber size & chokes on my Husqvarna model 310A, 12 gauge.

Thanks
 
I don't want to go too much OT and one day I will start a HVA shotgun thread, but for now, i'm out of time to do so.
Below S/N 165 700, they were chambered for 65mm (2 1/2"), above they were chambered for the 70mm (2 3/4"). As for the chokes, it may have ben modified so you will have to have it measured. Should be like Full / Full.
 
Thanks Baribal.
Mine has a lower S/N so it makes a 2 1/2" chambers.
I don't reload and it's difficult to get 2 1/2" shells, would you suggest I get the chambers reamed to 3" I mean if it's safe.
Is it possible to gets the chokes redone from Full & Full to IC & MC on this gun??
Where would you guys recommend I should get the job done??
 
As I said before, I don't want to elaboate on shotguns here, but;
If I had to do it, I wouldn't change it for 3" but to 2 3/4". 2 1/2" stuff is not hard to get through. Don't know where you're located but people like Epps have 2 1/2" / 65mm in stock all time. The chokes can be reamed, but do you really need it? The chambers may already been reamed, too. Go see a good shotgun gunsmith to tell you about it.
PM me if you have other questions, as this discussion is getting too much OT.
 
There are several excellent ones. Redfield 70M, 80M, 102M, and Lyman 35 (good luck!) and 57 SME and 57 SMET come to mind.

There are more that will work. Go for the older, steel ones...there are plenty about.
