What is the story on the Helstock Conversions? Modified to Helstock after production using an available kit?

They were available both for the DIY hobbyist and from the gunsmiths. Yes, it was an aftermarket thing, there used to be A LOT of custom / replacement parts for the M/94/96/38 and HVA rifles in Sweden.

Thanks, Baribal. Tried a bit of searching and found limited info.
 
Well, that's what my wifes says, too ;)

Dr Who,
It depends what is your interest in the thing. A 1640 in 9.3X62 and it's counterpart a 1651, .358 NM is a must (for me anyways), A Presentation rifle is also a very rare sighting. We know only one original .308 NM (would be a 1651 too) and it's in Sweden.
A 46AN and a 246, even if D&T is a rare breed (227 and 228 made).
A 1900 in caliber 358 NM or 458 Win...
A SXS # 37 in 500 Express.. a 410 m/E in 9.3X74R, # 70 in 360 express (9.3X57R)... a Clef-Serpent action.... there are so many.... ;)

Nothing wrong with the 8mm cartridges, but not very common on this side of the pond,I'm partial to faster cartridges !, one of the 3 guns above was in our family since new and has always been deadly accurate, really likes Federal Premium 165gr NP, the other two I picked up for a great price, was looking for a 270 in the same model but ended up with another 30-06 !

Thanks for the kind comments everyone,

A 30-06 Husky I owned years ago also really liked Rem 165 gr factory ammo. Every shot touched.

Great thanks for the great info Baribal
Keep up the good work :cheers:
 
So I figured I'd give a sneak preview of the stock I'm refinishing. Here's the Carl Gustafs grade III magnum I picked up from the EE as received. The polyurethane was chipped and yellowed. I stripped it and sanded the stock.



Here it is after three coats of BLO, with some wet sanding. I still have 5-7 more coats to do to seal the wood and bring up the shine a bit, but this thing soaks in oil like crazy. I think it has very nice grain that was hidden under that polyurethane. It should get a little more sheen over the next few coats. I'm happy with it so far. Then I'll just need to recut the checkering and oil that and she's good to go. I've also got a spare stock that will be on it when I'm out in the bush. I've never been any good at wood work so I'm pretty proud of myself so far and felt like tooting my own horn a bit.

Looks amazing,hard to see that nice wood before..kelly
 
Nice job. If you intend hunting with it, you better think of adding some waterproof overcoating, such as wax or alike. It will need less maintnenance to keep it clean if you do so.

As for the 7mm in the EE, depending on S/N it's either a Grade II or a Lyx.
