That's a late 640, if you mind knowing.

Thanks Barbil for the info so late would be 1962- 64

I got another rifle for Barbil in 9.3x62. I think it's a 640 but I am not sure. Here are pics of it including the serial number. I would be looking to get a date of manufacturer to.

Okay, I couldn't remember. I had done my homework at one time. I have a nice CG stutzen in 6.5x55 as well. Lots of guys seem to not like the m38, but they are sure slick rifles. I have a wartime m98 actioned coyote rifle...and man is it a clunker. (I won't use it to judge other m98s) I had a 1640 at one time, but good lord the trigger was beyond awful.

Actually, the M94, M96 and M38 are the same action. The M94 have a factory swept down bolt and the M38 is the same configuration while the M96 have a straight bolt handle. Hisqvarna used the shelved surplus M94 on their M46 and when they started manufacturing the M38, they used some of the unfinished actions to build their later rifles.

No. It's more like '52 - '54 while HVA started their 1640 (1953).

Model 640, late model (1952). Someone added the fore end checkering.

Makes sense just out of curiosity what lyman or redfield peep sight would fit a model 640?.

LYMAN 48FN or 57FN. Check for the FN98 receiver sights.

Model 650, late model (1952). Someone added the fore end checkering.

How can you tell it looks pretty clean to me?. Also what was the model 650?.

Thanks for the info I originally thought I needed to look for the lyman 57HVA.

That was a typo (fixed) it's a 640 and they did not have the front checkerig from factory
It can also be a replacement stock, but it's impossible to say it from those pictures

What pictures would you need to confirm if it is or not?.

The inside of the stock, in the bedding area would have a letter stamped. The barrel channel and the bolt relase area might have one too.
