There's recently been a new addition to my Husqvarna family, now the Husqvarna "Triplets".
The most recent addition, a model 3000 in 270 Win.
Model 4000 Lightweight in 30-06
And a short while ago I picked up this model 1651 in 358 Norma Magnum, which will hopefully be this years 'Moose medicine'.

Got ya!! The pictures of the individual rifles have the obvious but I thought I'd make it a little more challenging for you in the picture of the 'Triplets'. There's a Moose pictured on the mat under the rifles.

Nice CG, Smokeeter,
Just for those who don't know it yet, the CG 1900 rifles are actually the SMOOOTH operated push-feed development from Husqvarna model 1970, made only 1967 to 1971 with the HVA name.
In 1971 HVA merged with the Carl Gustav Stad Gevarfabriks, becoming FFV (Forenade Fabriksverken one of the Swedish State owned arms company). The 1970 model then ended up being marketed under the Carl Gustav, Husqvarna being mainly used for the shotguns until 1989.
The model 1900 and "derivatives" 2000/3000/4000/8000/9000 models were made in the CG Eskilstuna plant for some time, ending up late '78 early '79. But the procduction continued stil using the CG name, with rifles made under contract in Belgium, then in Italy and ending up at Antonio Zoli's plant in 1989 (and they continued stamping Carl Gustav on it).
There were some Zoli-made 1900 stamped with the Husqvarna name in the late 1980's and maybe even later.
There are two other Swedish compnies who made the 1900 (1970) design; Viking Arms and Geson. Plus there are also some H&K-made and some Merkel copies of the 1900 (197) actions.
There were also two

Johnn,
Your new acquisition is splendid. Maybe even too ###y for you.
Now, go get a real moose with your tag.
Holiday time
, Sept.10th - 30th. Retirement is a good thing.1600H / Alloy vs Steel floorplate Question
Original question here;
http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=490679
The alloy floorplate came somewhere at or close to S/N 220000 (or, 1958).
From what came out over the years, all of the Helstock rifles had an alloy floorplate (fullstock models were made from 1958 to 1967).
And, finally, yes, the 1600H (Helstock) is one of the "lightweight" variants, but HVA never called it that way, it's all due to Tradewinds / Dorken Bros - Ruko for Canada.

John, do you have a source book (or several) for all of the Husqvarna information you so kindly share here, or are you "The Source"? If your knowledge is a compilation of personal study and hands on experience I'd sure like to see it available in print form. I have just one Husqvarna, so am not a collector or even a wannabe. I find myself coming back to the information and pictures here on a regular basis as a matter of general interest....come to think of it, the possibility of where that might lead is a bit frightening!
I'm not John, but I'll try to answer,
For me, the best "written" source is the Husqvarna Museum book - Originally "Husqvarna Hagelvapen 1877-1977" in Swedish and "Husqvarna Jaktvapen 1870-1977" as a swedish language reprint only - there is a very rare english version of the original book, but it's really unlikely you may find one.
There are some Internet sources, like Gunboards under the Swedish Civilian firearms (an US-Based International Collectors forum - of wich I am a longtime member), skydevaaben.com wich publishes a partial translation (with some minor errors) of the HVA book, some collectors / value books, but they usually are "in the grey" or full of errors, any HVA articles, in the Gun Disgest of the production period, former Tradewinds, Ruko, Ellewood Epps ads are also very helpful, anything else wich can help.
But, still the best source apart The Book, is first hand personal experience, from handlig / owning / dissassembling / repairing these rifles / shotguns. But still, after over 20 years of HVA love, I still learn and discover stuff on a regular basis.

Apologies about the wrong name, as the question really was directed at you...guess I misread others' posts and somehow came to wrong conclusion about your name. Thanks for the information. I always appreciate your posts, and in my opinion, you are one of the regular CGN'rs who make participation on this forum a very educational and interesting experience.

Guys, are you crusing me????
I'm only doing this with the purpose more people get into it.
And, you did not even opened the shotgun, the double rifle and the cape guns doors....
I think I can speak for many of us that share your appreciation of Husqvarna firearms but lack your knowledge of them and related issues. We value your depth of knowledge on the topic and really appreciate your input and postings
.Any plans for using your recently acquired 1651 in 358NM this season? As I've mentioned previously I hope to introduce mine to Mr. Moose this fall.As I said, I like to share with others. 20 years ago, the information on these firearms was almost inexistent in North America and what was availlable was either too partial or wrong.
Regarding moose hunting; I don't know, will depend on hollyday schedule, and I'd like to bring the daughter and introduce her to Mr Moose hunting... Don't know yet how it's going to work.
