Hey Baribal,
I don't have any pictures of it, but one of my 9.3X62 Husqvarna rifles has a stepped barrel with the sleeved sights, and is built on a 98 action with a stripper clip notch. IIRC it has a five digit serial number.
Not a rechambered '57, the rifle has the entire caliber designation roll stamped on the barrel, the same as my other one with the smooth contour barrel.
I have seen this barrel contour on the 96 action in 9.3X62, but this the only one I have ever seen with a stepped barrel on a 98. I am sure there must be more, and am wondering if you have ever seen one?

The step ahead of the chamber. Five digit serial number begins 934--
And beyond the forend, with the barrel band.
Have you ever seen this on a 98 action? I have seen lots of them on 96s, but never on a 98. Not suggesting the rifle is anything special, just curious.

I do believe that way back when I saw Husquavarna rifles advertised in the old Eatons catalogs along with Parker Hale rifles and Llama handguns.
I haven't seen any of these brands for years.
Don't see guns advertised in the Canadian Walmart, Sears or Crappy Tire catalogs either since the big Red PC and Liberal crackdowns (on the law abiding NOT criminals) of the 80s and 90s but Canada is sooooo much safer.

The sling swivels are 3/4 inch.
Trade Ex has the european double buckle slings to fit.
They stay on your shoulder quite well with the anti-slip material sewn onto the inside.
Fifteen bucks per, if I recall.

Then why does Norma limit the 9.3x57 pressures to 43,500 PSI?
So the commercial actiom M/96 are made out of SAE 1020 - right? If so, and they have yield point of 43,000 PSI, then why would the 8x57, 9.3x57 and 9.3x62 be loaded to higher pressure?
Because what you're compairing is not as straightforward as you'd like it to be; the total resistance of the material is based on the section, or, if you prefer, the thickness of the said material; remember when the Mythbusters made a cannon with duct tape? Just add layers one over the other and you get more strenght, hence more .built-in. safety.
That's why a M/98, even if it was made of the same 1020 steel, would always be stronger than a M/94/96/38. And that's also why Paul Mauser used a thicker receiver to suit the then new to come high pressure 8mm.
The material resistance is based on standardized tests so they can be compared one with the other.
You can find references of material analysis used by the Swedes from both P.O. Ackley and Jerry Kuhnnhausen. HVA also often bragged to have the purest, low carbon steel of the world.
Sir Charles Ross, when it was availlable, also prefered the Swedish pure, low carbon steel to make his receivers.
As for the reason why both the 9X57 and the 9.3X57 were/are kept at a low pressure, it seems that both rounds have always been problematic because of the thiny shoulder they share. If you carefully look, you will see that new the 9.3X57 cases often show a protruding primer after intial firing. After successive fireforming, the phenomenom disappears.
Then, most ammunition manufacturers rarely load their round at MAP pressure; they usually keep an average of 15% margin, for liability reasons.

I have a question:
I just picked up a rifle from TradeEx. It's a 30-06 in the 1600 Lightweight [slimmer barrel, shorter barrel, and trim, light stock].
Now, I know that TradeEx has the reputation among CGN'ers of OVERSTATING issues, blemishes, etc, so that the rifles are usually in better condition than you think they are from reading the website descriptions, but in this case they UNDERSTATED the issue [the second rifle I got from them that was significantly UNDERSTATED with regards to issues].
The description said a hair crack at the tang. Well, there are 3 cracks. One I would call a hair crack, and the other two could be called hair cracks... if the hair was from a large horse's maine.
No wood gaps, but significant and obvious cracking. Each crack is about 1" long looking with the naked eye.
The rifle has been bedded with what looks like acraglass, at the recoil lug and at the tang. There are no cross bolt or pins in the stock.
So here's the question: Do you think the acraglass bedding will keep the stock together? Or does it need a cross-bolt or pin to keep it from breaking apart?
I'll try to post some pics of it tonight.

Well, hard to say without seeing it, but usually Trade Ex will provide you with plenty of pictures (almost at will, should I say - obviously, they're more patient than I am!).
I have absolutely no idea why or how the rifle was not described as it is / was, but to their defense, I must say they have so many rifles to clean and describe, they may have made an error, like most of us can do.
My personal advise is such, and I don't mean to judge or make a moral out of it; One should always inspect arriving shiprment and inform the shipper of any non conformity or damges / breakage of the received good, even if it's to be kept. Acting in such way will protect both the shipper and receiver. I, myself always take pictures of any shipment I am doing.
Anyhow, they're are ways to fix the "Mauser tang cracks", but it's a case-by-case matter, so just post your pics and I'll try to help.

Here's the pics of the cracks and of the bedding.
