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

Picked up a 1600, but not sure about the 2 sets of numbers....are they suppose to match, or has this been rebarrel?

No, it's not supposed to match. There were very few manufacturers stamping the SN on the receiver prior to the US Firearms Act of 1968.
As for your will to swap to the steel bottom metal, it won't have the same wood inletting (the steel one is smaller).
 
Yes, I did see a pic in this thread showing the different shaped bottom metal....I meant flog the whole rifle and get one with steel bottom metal :)
Or who knows, maybe I'm just worrying for nothing. The rifle has survived for 56 years without the bottom metal breaking maybe it's tougher then it looks lol
Next step is to get the front sight reattached.... Might leave that job to the smith lol.

Oh I like it....first gun I hunted with was a HVA in .243 when I was 16 (long gone now) so I always wanted to get some kind of replacement. This one is in pretty good shape and will make a nice carry rifle.
 
Wll, I do, but it's not the right place to discuss about it. I have the project to start a HVA shotgun thread, but, I long ran out of time for that.
Let me know what you want to know.

I'm looking at a double barrel model 51 in 12 gauge and I was wondering if it had a monoblock construction or are the barrels soldered / brazed together at the chamber end ?
( I'm thinking of a 45-70 conversion , and the gun in question is far from pristine ......... so in a round about way , after the conversion this would be rifle would fit into this thread :D ) .
 
I recently acquired a 1640 [3000 Crown Grade] Husqvarna rifle in 308 Norma Magnum. Fortunately, Baribal was so kind as to sort out what I have for me. [Thanks again, S]
It is not a rifle originally chambered in 308 Norma Mag, but undoubtedly the conversion has been done after it left the factory sometime.

It is a very nice specimen, however, and it shoots very well indeed. The pictures below show it. Has a nice piece of lumber on it as well.
Scope is a VX 3 - 3.5 x 10 x 40.
Regards, Dave.

Burnt servo,
The only model I can think of made with welded chambers is the 5o Ny Modell (New Model). They are pretty scarce and easy to identify as they have crimp marks all around the barrel and don't have the Greener crossbolt.
Just keep in mind that these guns were made for a MAP pressure of 740 bar (10 700 PSI), a Max Static Pressure of 830 bar (12 038 PSI) and a prof load of 950 bar (13 778 PSI).
 
Eagleye,

As we discussed, it was probably professionally modified and refinished, and is a gorgeous rifle. Actually, all the 3000/3100 with the thick plastic coating have that nice wood texture, the blonde colour they show is a consequence of the plastic/urethane coating, but when they are professionally stripped and oiled, they show all they potential....
Again a very nice rifle!
 
Last one....I think I'm done now, unless I come across a nice 1600 in 6.5x55 lol.
Commercial FN98 in 8x57, not d&t (and won't be), pretty clean and made in 1952. I really like this style of stock for shooting, just fits me well and recoil seems very mild. It's also neat tearing them down and still finding dried on grease everywhere.... Knowing I'm the first one to take it right down since it left the factory 60+ years ago is kind of cool.

So because of this thread I now have an HVA made '96, '98, and 1600 based action...and oddly enough the first '98 action in 8x57. For some reason all my '98's are in 6.5x55 and all my '96's are in 8x57.

the crimp marks your talking about , are they about 4 or 5 inches ( roughly ) down the barrel where the mono block and barrel insert meet ?

or are you talking about something else ?

pressure and surface area go hand in hand , very similar to figuring out force in hydraulics ..... very simply and roughly , the rearward thrust from a 12 gauge shell is very similar to 45-70 ( mild loading ) , 44 mag , and even 444 marlin . after that it comes down to the ability of the barrel thickness to safely contain the pressure .

thank you for your help :)
 
Well, I know about thrust and pressure, as that's what brings me bread and butter :)
Intensity (Forces vs Time) is also a factor, as it ill determine material / heat treatment selection.

You won't easily find a New Model 50... they only made about 800 of them and I did not see many of these (actually, i only saw a couple and own one of those).
Anyways, here's what they look like;

I have inherited my Grandfathers Husquvarna Vapenfabriks AB .308 serial # 201680 Barrel is 20" long metal floor plate. It has developed a bad crack in the stock and would like to replace it for sentimental value. Anyone have a line on where I can get a replacement stock? Or what would fit it? (standard Mauser 98?) I don't think its salvageable. Thanks for your help
