Husqvarna Sporting Rifles #### - ALL MODELS!!!
- Thread starter Baribal
- Start date
I've been offered this rifle, it belonged to a coworkers father, he has no use for this one and is looking to get rid of it.
I know nothing about it and am looking for information, I don't want to rip him off any more than I want to over pay. And info on the model and value would be a great help.
Serial 102745
nagol,
depending on some details, such as if it's d&t for a receiver sight and the size of sling swivels loops, it's either a model 640 or a so-called model 1950 Hi-Power. Both quite the same thing.
It was built on 1949 and uses an early commercial "C" ring FN M98 action.
The value will be +/- 350.00 $

So here's my new-to-me M46 after a good cleaning and stock re-oiling;
From the first year of manufacture, 1927. Since they started at serial number 500 (or 501) then this is the 111th (or 110th) rifle made in 9.3x57.
Drilled for side mount scope. Will have to find some plug screws.
This will be shooting cast lead bullets. My big plinker;
Interesting wood on this old gal;

Nice rifle you got there....
She can shoot jacketed bullets without worries...
Hitzy; Is there nothing these guys don't have? I'll have them toss in some screws when I next order something to play with from them.
Baribal; I'll probably get some jacketed bullets and work up to a factory load equivalent too, but want to play with throwing big hunks of lead at moderate velocities. Sort of like a giant .22 on steroids. It should be fun getting a load to work with the fixed sights, but then those are the things that make reloading a new caliber interesting and challenging too.

I have done that with mine. At 1400 fps, it's basically a 36 Long Rifle, same velocity as 22LR, but with a bullet seven times heavier. It will penetrate 12" of green spruce with ease every time.
At 2000 fps it is a more-than-capable big game load for moose, caribou, and bear.

Thanks for the reply. I have a rust pitted bore. Another question, gone un-answered though I spent some time on google - the 1900 must have been made on more than one action length? My .308 has a 3" long magazine, and the ejection port is approx. 3.16". I have a hard time seeing a 30-06 cartridge running through it.
Edit; I understand these were made on one action length. Looking closer I can see that if the relief machined in the bottom of the bolt were extended, the bolt would open further and with a longer magazine a LA cartridges would feed.

Still seeing them at the moment, lots of others from other posters have disappeared.
