Baribal,
I certainly did not intend to slight the 7 x 57. It is just that I have never used one and I do have some history with the 270.
Also, I am set up tp reload 270.......will have to start from scratch with the 7 x 57.Probably worth a try though.

My Husqvarna display
April 5th and 6th 2014 Gun Show in Swift Current Sask. I displayed some of my Husqvarna collection. The last time I brought this display out was nearly 25 years ago, I got many nice comments on my little collection and enjoyed very much visiting with people. Here are a couple pics. Cheers

Very nice Looky. In addition to having a soft spot for Schultz & Larsens, I also have the same affliction when it comes to Husqvarnas.
The rifle shown looks identical to mine, which I bought in 1949 or 50, very shortly after they were first imported into Canada.
The serial number on mine, with the beechwood stock, is in the 105 thousand range, while the one posted by Looky has a s/n in the 135 thousand range, not that much newer than mine.

Husqvarna fullstock 30-06
The green rifle leaning under that buck's ear in the tiny picture under my name (to the left ) is a Husqvarna lightweight 30-06 in an MPI fiberglass stock with a Swarovski 4X.
Anyway, here are some pictures of my favorite Husqvarna, a fullstock 30-06 with the serial numbered cardboard box that it came in.
and below is a SAKO Riihimaki .222 Rem. end cap

I just love that gun Rob. It is one I would like very much to have .
Hey Rob
Very curious thing about your rifle!?!? Basically looks NIB correct? The endcap and sight hood are not original though. There was a thread recently on one of the US forums where a fellow was looking to retrofit an aftermarket endcap on a Husqvarna fullstock. It was his Dad's rifle and the endcap/mounting screw were taken off and went missing. Interesting that yours has had exactly that done to it!!

I was about to say, "Nonsense. Its 100% original. Minty. Made in 1959."...but something didn't feel right, so I pulled the rifle out of the safe and looked at it...and laughed...sorry about this, but I mistakenly posted a picture of the metal end cap on one of my full-stock SAKO Riihimaki .222 rifles....surely some of you recognized it as a Sako end cap and hood...or rather, I should have. Anyway, I'll post a shot of the correct end cap below...all 100% original...and I'll leave up the picture of the Sako end cap, so you know what on earth I'm apologizing about.
Thanks to 264magnum for noticing my error.
Sincerely, Rob

And to have the kajonies to make such a statement as to it being wrong..............
Shows the intelligence available on here regarding firearms and the
proper what-for of them.
I'm admiring the blueing on these old rifles.
Too bad it doesn't show up like this on modern rifles.

Thanks for clearing that up Rob!!! It's funny because I just was reading that thread about retrofitting a NECG/Brownells endcap on a Husqvarna. I figured it might be a big project to do it nicely and here is a pic of a retrofit one!! Looks nice and maybe it can be done is what I was thinking! LOL Beautiful rifle!!
Honestly, I didn't even look at the cap pictures as I was looking at the box . I kinda saw that the hood wasn't right, but there's so many that have been lost that I am never surprised nor concerned about that .
Greg,
Maybe using a Sako end cap is possible too... I donno if Stoeger are avaialble to get these, though. Maybe Rob can give us an idea if it could fit or not!

Yah I should have clued in on it being a Sako but my mindset was retrofit!!! All due to reading about that other fellows project.
Sylvain maybe a Sako would work but there is such differences between most of the fullstock rifles out there and how the endcaps fit. It would be nice to know if there is a way to fit something else to the Husqvarna 458/456. I have heard of a couple people that shot their new Husqvarna fullstocks back in the day only to have the endcap go flying off and disappear!! I think there was a screw change up over the years from a smaller diameter shorter screw to one that was a larger diameter and a little longer. Maybe that was in response to some endcaps coming off!?!?

yes, I,m aware of some "flying encaps" ... Especially in calibers like the '06. I'm also sure it's one of the reasons for a lot of missing ones. I never went through the screw thing, though. I know there are a lot of stock shape variations aand that make swapping end cap pretty hard, but if the general shape is the same (or close), i can't see why it can't be fitted.. If the sape is similar enough, one can even cut the barrel band on end caps a la Sako....
