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

KBCL said:
Thanks for all the info you've provided. From going through this thread with my dad and asking a few other family members it would appear I'm looking for a 4100 like the one pictured below. Any tips on what I should search for at trade ex? When I search Husqvarna 4100 nothing comes up.

Thanks again!

You just have to scroll through them all and look at stock shape really....I think Tradeex also describes the 4100's as carbine barrel length.....that shorter barrel gives them away as being the 4100's....or 4000's if the stock style is the monte carlo
 
Actually, Trade Ex have no 4000/4100, as these were exclusively made for North-American market, what they have are 1600 Std and, maybe, once in a while very rare 1600 MC.
The stocks are different from the 4000/4100 as they don't have a cheek piece and have no fore arm checkering.

The 4000/4100 all have the fore arm checkering and cheek piece.
 
Johnn,
A lot of those front sight hoods were replaced over the yeears, and many shapes and styles of aftermarket ones were available in Sweden and the sights and hoods were often replaced in the store, before the rifle leave.
The 1751 sights are wider than those encountered in other models. The front hood should be 20mm wide vs 17.5mm for the others.
The wider front Hood goes along with the longer barrel and wider rear sight for quick acquisition.

I can't say what's the difference you're referring to, but from your picture yours seems to be beveled.

What would be an approximate value for one of these then? I suppose I will start saving and maybe start a WTB thread in the EE.
Cheers!
 
All depends on condition, caliber, orignal or not... say between 350.00 $ to 550.00 $... more for uncommon calibers or luxury models.
Trade Ex really are the price setters as they are the only source importing this guns today.

That it is. The one pictured in your post #915 appears to have a rounded end which is why I asked about the difference.

A 1955 vintage rifle with its original cardboard box
Has a very nice fiddleback grain dark stock picture does not do it any justice
 
Nive ones Dr Who!

The 1651 Lyx is engraved on the floorplate, the 1651 Special is the same without the engraving. You have the late
stock.

Is the S/N well above 290### ?

Johnn,
Do you means there are flats on the sides?

Like those on the sides of the forend as in post #928? No. And that one in #928 seems to be beveled forward. Mine, that forend isn't quite as squared off and it's beveled back from the bottem to the top and towards the action.



The profile or configuration of the one in post #928 looks more like that on my model 3000 in .270Win.

 
Some of the late 1651 have that configuration (square on both sides).

Can you post a close-up of your front hood?

This is what's on the 3000 in the lower photo in my post #931. With it are two more hoods that have a light/faint crosshatching visable on them.



And this is the forend of the 3000.



Hope that helps. ;)Still 'looking' for the correct hood for my 1651:).

Yes has engraved floorplate S/N 295###
According to that S/N makes it a 1965 production .
 
That seems correct, Dr Who. Nice guns :)
Are you willing to give me full SN (you can hide last number by a "X") for a survey?
If so, just send me a PM. Thanks!

Johnn,
That's how a 3000 hood is supposed to be. When I was saying "square on both sides", I was talking about the hood.. just like the one you pictured. The two others are replacement, not from HVA factory.
Dr Who's 1651 is a late one, not too many with that stock. BTW, the 3000/3100 with that stock configuration (squarish forend) all have the glossy plastic finish on. The European model 1640 MC does not, neither do the 1651 Special (both of the squarish type).

As for the "correct hood for a 1651", any 20mm one can be ground to be the same...
 
Husqvarna 4100 30-06 1962 Vintage

29g0dbq.jpg

They say every picture tells a story , here's my story .
My first Husqvarna and my first rifle , bought off my Uncle back in 1971 for $100.00 .
Shoot my first head of big game with it a small 4x4 Whitetail.
My dear mother knocked it off the gun rack <1974> and broke the stock at the pistol grip . So I ordered a semi -inletted "AAA" Claro Walnut stock from Pachmayr's for $110.00 and began my first attempt at restocking . Took over a year of filing-shaping-sanding and a few words that the Queen wouldn't use to get it ready for the final oil coating . Then began the checkering once again my first real attempt , well doing it at 28lpi was not a lot of fun but took my time and over all didn't turn out to bad. Had the barrel reblued, sights removed ,installed, a Jaegar # 69 trigger . Shoots 180gr Speer Mag Tips into nice 3/4" groups point like a fine shot gun and is a joy to carrier and a very prized possession of mine.
Sorry for the long winded story.
 
BTW, Johnn,

I should have say that over the years, I saw quite a few 1651 initially imported to North America, especially the late ones, with 2 square sided hoods and this seemed to have been "factory" ones. I personally am not into trying to get too fussy with hoods, as like I said before, it's like a "consumable" and lots of people removed, lost or swaped them...

As I've said on many occasions in past, :)thank you again for all your info and help. While I prefer to keep any firearms as original and stock as possible, for me it isn't the be all to end all. My primary interest is 'as shooters'. I'm not a collector. Thanks again.
