My recently acquired model 46A (I believe) built in 1942 by Vapinfabriks. This beaut is chambered in 9.3x62. It is in fantastic shape and I love it to death. Cannot wait to get a hunt in with it. For those wondering the rifle beside it is an M1-9mm carbine made by Chiappa in 9x19.

And my new husqvarna 8000, 7 rem mag.


Great guns. I'd take one of these over any modern day Sako.

The 8000/9000 models are only found within S/N range of 350000 and 380000, the last of the "real" HVA around 373000 after that, they are marked FFV or FFV-HVA, then, FFV changed the names to Standard, Monte Carlo, Lyx and Sportskyttestudsare. HVA used 1970 name in Europe (see below).
Also, as per 8000 and 9000 were Tradewinds names, they are often stamped "9000" or "Tradewinds, Inc. Tacoma, Washington-USA, Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB Sweden" and other variants. Below is a reopst that explains the links betweens models and production dates.

In Sweden, for the same period, they are known as being "1970" - "Standard", "Standard MC" "MC Lyx", '"Sportskyttestudsare"... it quite followed normal HVA denomination.

Then, you have the HVA-FFV-CG ones, caleed "1900" - "Standard", "Standard MC", "Lyx" and "Trofé" and "Sporter" - these have SN starting by "5"
The American and Euro models sometimes differ, though. You will rarely see a "Standard" or "MC" rifle here and the "Lyx"

Then, you got the CG made rifles, which ended up being called "Grade II" or "Grade III" and even "Grade V" and "V/T", "Continental I and II" "Swede" here, SN starting by "6"
In Sweden, they were called their "standard" names, so, Lyx and so on.

Now, for a Euro-NA comparison (but there may and actually there are some slight model difference)

For the "3" serial (HVA)

Standard = none
Standard MC = none
MC Lyx = 9000
MC Special = 8000

For the "5" serial HVA-FFV-CG
Standard = none
MC = Standard
Lyx = Deluxe
Sportskyttestudsare = V/T


All in all, with the "6" series;

Standard = Swede
Standard MC = Swede MC
Lyx = Grade II
Trofé = Grade III
Presentation = Grade V
Sportskyttestudsare = V/T

Hey guys i think buy a comercial hva m96 in 8x57
Does this action are ok to shoot the european ammo s&b for exemple 196gr at 2500fps ? Or the m96 is weak and im better whit usa load like the 170gr at 2200fps ?
 
Thwy are OK to use with Euro ammo, that's what they were made for. Just keep in miind that the loooooong throat will probably get you closer to 2300 / 2350 fps with Euro ammo. If you have higher velocity, then, you are lucky.
 
I have two questions, 1st I want to freshen the checkering up on a couple husqvarnas I have (one was 'refinished' prior to my ownership, leaving the points of the checkering sanded off) and I can not seem to confidently measure the lines per inch my self. Was there a standard Husqvarna used? (for 4100 and 3100). I am also curious what the weight difference is between the steel and alloy bottoms is. I apologize if this info is in the thread already; I have read it through at least twice, but not recently (my two daughters, one 2 years and the other 3months leave me with limited spare time!)

Thanks!
 
6.5x55

I finally got around to trying out the 6.5 Husqvarna that I recently got ,tried with fusion ammo ,it would not fully extract the shell, have now got some different ammo (hsm) and it seems to hold shell much better,the groove at the shell base on the fusion seems wider,has anyone had anyone else had problems with fusion ammo with their Husqvarna 6.5?

Yes, ObviousNovice, this is a model 46A, rechamgered to 9.3X63.

Hey Baribal, with these rechambered models are they safe to use with heavier loads? right now I am using Privi Partisan 286gr soft points in 9.3x62. seemed to digest fine with no visible issues. but looking for clarification on how strong the actions and chambers are in these rifles.

thanks.

Dan.

They used 18 TPI for the 1600/1640 and the 1900 series.

As per weight difference beetween alloy and steel bottom metal, expect +/- 1/4 lbs difference for the same model.

American made ammo are most of the time based of the 308/30-06 dimensions and that's one reason why they are so underloaded.

Well, Dan,
You can do what you want with your rifle, but the M94 was designed and made in a time when ammo pressure did not exceed 47 000 PSI and there are obvious reasons why Paul Mauser created the M/98 with all these added safety features to go with the then "to be introduced" 8X57IS and it's higher pressure. I don't say a M/94/96/38 won't hold that, but it will do it with unsuited safety features.
The original M/94/96/38 rifles chambered for the 9.3X62 (649 and 46AN) have very long throats to lower the pressure (and of course you will see a drop of velocity). The rechambered ones, I have no idea.

Then, I am not personally a believer of "poor man's magnum" stuff. As an example, Anthony from Trade Ex killed a polar bear with only one shot of the 9.3X57 with a 250 grains Accubond at 2125-2150 fps, so to me, it speaks by itself.... but I, myself, shot a lot of games with many bullet types at "normal velocities" and none ever resisted to one shot....

Then, I see my bad spelling... friggling phone...
