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

I think the problem our Kiwi friend is having is that Anthony will not export any parts, including a paper clip.

Ergo, he wants to buy, but they won't sell, so that would appear to be that, unless he can get the funds to someone here in Canada who then buys the part & once received, then mails it to him.

Did I sort of get that right, 9.3x62Fan?

That it is. They are one of my favorite bolt action rifles, three examples of which I have.

To have the apogee of world class skilled gunmaker's classic working rifles, available for $500, puts us in a position of unusual opportunity.

I wouldn't trade my Husqvarna's for any modern made rifle.
It's the FN Commercial '98 actioned sporters, 640 series, that are dearest to my heart.
 
Hi everyone,

I just recently purchased a Husqvarna, it was advertised in the store as being a 1600 series. I've been looking for a rifle to get me started hunting and had been looking for a .270 win. Tradeex only had .30-06 available recently and as such i've looked at a lot of them online. Point being, this one does not look like many of the 1600's i've seen on tradeex. If anyone can help me identify what it is that would be great! So far i'm stoked on the rifle, can't wait to get it to the range. Just wondering what it's deal is.

The info:
Says Husqvarna Vapenfabriks A.B. .270 Win on the barrel
Has a slide safety just behind bolt on right side
Magazine release is on the front of the trigger guard
Stock has zero checkering, this is why i'm not sure what's going on.
Serial No: 1868XX Also says Nitro on the barrel
Flip up rear sight
Has weaver rings and came with a Zuiho 4X32 scope, all i could find out is that it was a Japanese Company that made scopes. Not sure how good it is, haven't shot scoped rifles yet.

The pics (sorry had to use someones Iphone):





Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Hopefully it will be good for what i want to use it for.
 
Your rifle was made in 1956.
From the little I can get from the pictures, it looks like a restocked rifle, using model 1640K stock.
The 1640K was the entry level model and the late models had a sandblasted receiver.
The early entry models have a purpleish (or plum) bluing, some were not even d&t for scope mount.
 
Thanks for the info, I actually prefer this look of stock to the more ornate ones. This one is D&T as it's got a scope on it but who knows when that was done. Thanks again.
 
I can't say foir sure from your pics, but as I previously said, I suspect it can be a replacement stock, either from anoither rifle or from the factory.


Chisler,
Only the Carl Gustav 1900, starting in 1973 were made in lefty. Nothing before that.
 
Hi I have a Husky S/N 170734 1229 on receiver and on barrel chambered in .270 with an aftermarket synthetic stock.Sliding safety hinged floor plate.
Just wondering what this started its life as and when it was built and any details about the action.I have owned it for about 20 + years.
Thanks Jack
 
Hi Jack,
There's too many digits to your S/N.
If the S/N is 170734, this makes it a late 1954 production rifle. If the barrel is 600mm (23.622"), then, it originally was one of the 1640 variant, and it's impossible to be more precise without the original stock configuration.
If the barrel is 560mm, then it was first a "Husky" model (but from the markings, I doubt it). If the barrel is 520mm, then, it first started as a 1600 derivative... sorry, can't say more...
 
I'd like to find an old Husky in 30-06 so I can use the same thing my Grandpa used. I've looked at trade ex and in the EE here but there seems to be a fair amount of price differences and many different models to choose from.
Here's what I know about his old rifle;
It was 30-06 and he bought it shortly after moving to Burnaby BC in 1954.
Could anyone point this noob in the right direction as to what model(s) I might be looking for and how much I should be spending on it? I'm not looking for a museum piece, just something I can drag around in the woods and feel close to my Grandpa with.
Thanks!
 
KBCL,
It can have been a model 4000/4100, as these were popular in the days, but it also can be a model 3000 (the early type with round plastic fore end and MC stock)... If you can gather a picture or show the pictures of this thread to someone who know about the rifle, it will be much easier to point what it was...
As for prices, Trade Ex are supplying almost everything coming from Sweden, which is now almost more than what was originally imported in the days, so their prices are the rule....
