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

One more question,,, for now,,I am starting to get bitten by the husq bug, if I was to get another from Tradex, and I am leaning towards a 9.3x 57, which would be a good one/model to choose, they have some m96, and m98, most of the stocks seem to have cracks but I guess that is common, I will be bedding them anyway!

There arew three models chambered in 9.3X57; the 46, the 46A and the 146.

The two first are SM M/94/38 based while the later is on a military style m/98. Really, the choice is yours, but you may find you need all three :d
 
The M98 seems to be a good bit more expensive, not sure if that is due to stronger rifle or just more rare, although I believe I read here that the M98 is a bit more robust! I am left handed, and never had a left handed rifle, might just look for one of these in southpaw!!
 
Actually, and it have been debated many, many times here and elsewhere, the M/98 is a much SAFER action than the M/98, and yes, it's more sturdy as it implies covering the case with more metal.
 
As per we discussed, a lefty X57 will be a (very?) hard to find item and will likely be a custom job.
A lefty '98 will be easier to find, but your only choice will be Zastava (but it's out of topic here).

Yes, I think I will grab one of those, but definitely will be getting more Husqvarna too,, I like the 9.3 and will peruse what Tradex has to offer in M98,,, right hand!
 
I bought this 1944 model 46 9.3X62 from Tradex and restocked it with a Richards microfit stock, it has a cocks on opening kit and a Timney trigger installed. Its a good shooting rig prints cloverleafs with Speer 270 grainers. The barrel was cut back to 50 CM before I had it, whoever did the barrel work did a good job recrowning and replacing the front sight looks factory done although I've never heard of a short barrel variation. The VX-3 1.5-5 gives a good sight picture even at the shortest ranges.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to find out more about my dad's Husqvarna. It was passed down to me about 19 years ago and has been a safe princess since. I normally hunt with his Winchester Model 70 (pre-64), but that ended last year when my quad rolled and snapped the stock (that's another story for another thread :)).

So with hunting season fast approaching I'm calling up the Husky. The boys always said it was too pretty for my to carry in the bush..but desperate times comes desperate measures.

What can you tell me about this ? any idea of value ??

The S/N starts with "308"

Baribal, I sent you a PM about this as well but then thought it would be cool to share it with everyone.

thanks !!!

That's a very nice example of a model 3000 made in 1966 as previously said.
As for value, it really depends on the location. Think around 450.00 $ to 550.00 $.
 
Why not? said:
It looks like a Model 7000 to me. The 3000 had the black Bakelite forend tip. That one has the squared forend with walnut tip.

No, Ted, the "7000" is the "Imperial" and does have a schnabel tip. The 3000 / 3100 were made in two stock versions; early one with a oiled stock, with rounded bakelite forend tip, the other late one with a heavy urethane coating with a squared, angled rosewood forend tip.

Guys I need help...

I just had my made in 1958 Husqvarna 3000 "Crown Grade action/barrel cerakoted satin black and the black McMillan stock cerakoted I bought last fall OD green but unfortunately the safety spring broke when it came apart.

I need one ASAP.

As I shared earlier in this thread my grandfather had bought this rifle in 270 Win he had it rechambered to 270 Wby mag he then gave the rifle to my dad who hunted with it for years that is until I was old enough to scoop it from him.

I shot my first several deer and moose with this gun but then my grandfather asked for it back but two years before he died at 94 he gave it back to me.

Plan has been to take my now 81 year old dad whose in better shape than most 50 - 60 year old out camping/hunting and its now all coming together I got the gun back today and we are leaving Monday morning for a week out in the bush.

He knows I've been fixing up the gun and is totally excited to hunt with it again but the broken safety spring lets the safety slip into safe position.

If anyone can help me locate this spring I would totally appreciate it.

You have couple choices; you contact Trade Ex and if they have non, you can try Kebco in the USA. You still can have a new pring made, but it will likely be expensive. Then, at the very end, you can install an aftermarket trigger, a Timney/HVA/Tradewinds if you're lucky enough to find one, or one with a side safety like the Timney #301, but then you will need to alter the stock.
 
I just bought this Model 1600 last week. I was told it's a 1954 manufacture. It's in .30-06. I haven't seen another Husqvarna like it with the same type high-comb stock. The rifle is drilled and tapped and obviously wore a scope in a previous life. In fact, it is hard to use the iron sights because of that high comb. Can anyone offer any more info on this one? Thanks, Gary







 
What you have is a modified 1640 Std, it was very common in Sweden to have the stockmakers to add a high comb on these rifles.
 
Thanks a lot for the information! Is it a "modified" 1640 due to the stock comb? Would that stock be a "one-off" specifically made to a request or a standard stock pattern? How is a 1640 Std. different than a 1600? Man, I'm excited to learn this stuff! Thanks again, Gary
