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

Thanks for the info, I've been trying to find a picture for awhile but no luck yet. My 92 year old Grandma is, 92 so her memory isn't what it used to be. My dad sold it quite awhile ago and doesn't remember much but maybe having a couple model numbers will jog his memory.
Knowing my Grandpa it probably would have been the best quality he could afford but if I can't figure out exactly which one I guess I'll just have to choose the best of the 3 you listed.
Cheers!

Yes 170734 is the s/n but 1229 is a seperate stamp on barrel and reciever. It is the 600mm barrel. So if it is the 1640 what do you think the action is. According to Skydevaaben it is "Husqvarna 1640" action I was hoping that it was M98 or are they the same?
So the real point to all this is that I need some parts. The little latch on the rear of the floor plater broke off so I need to replace the floor plate. Any ideas on where I can get the part? Just so it is clear to me it would be the early style steel floor plate.
Thanks again Jack
 
Yes, S/N tells me it's a steel floorplate. The only place where you can try, unless someone here have a spare flooplate assembly, is Trade Ex (see above for their banner on the forum's header).
The action is the 1640, and it's a compound design of the M/94 and the M/98. Some parts fit, other don't. A whole trigger guard / floorplate assembly from a commercial M/98 can be fitted, but it usually need some work.
Since you have the steel floorplate, an experienced welder or a gunsmith may be able to weld a small piece and reshape it to fit the latch.

Found an old post of yours on gunboards.com:
I don't think FN decided by themselves to stop selling actions to HVA; it's HVA who decided to make their own action, and since they did not have the license to build M/98, they compounded both non-licensed features of the M/98 to the M/38 (for which they had a license).
Then, by 1951 FN were already selling actions to Sako, which means they lekely already had stop selling to HVA...
The FN Supreme seems to be patterned after the 1640 while the 1640 seems to be patterned after the Brno 21/22.

The FN M98 trigger guard /floorplate can be fitted to a 1640/1600 action. This goes for all the production. By S/N 220 000, HVA made "alloy" trigger guards, and the stocks are a bit different, but still, the FN tg/fp assembly can be fitted (but the stock will not be fitted for it).
Standard Mauser springs can be fitted to the 1600/1640 actions. This ain't an issue.

Now, the 1900 parts will not fit the 1600/1640. Zoli part (are supposed to) fit the 1900; as far as I can tell, the difference between old and newer production are the bolts and triggers (and the receivers) but the newer still "should" work with the old style, less the release lever. Coagula / Solve

That helps me alot
Thanks
 
Well, using my answer (post #903) will be easier as what you posted was not intended to answer your question, but a different one.
 
Is this yours?

It looks like a "Special" model, is there any other markings (roll stamp) on the barrel (other than HVA + caliber + Nitro) ?

What is the barrel lenght?
3 leaf rear sight?
Adjustable trigger?

BTW, that's a very nice catch....
 
Barrel is 23" (to the front of the ring), weight is 7' on the nose. Markings are as you mentioned; nothing unusual. Standard trigger. Rear sight is single leaf, fixed. (I guess I could have blown the dust off it!) It has an unusual cross bolt and pin that appear original. Aluminum bottom metal. The blind hole screws do not seem to have ever been removed. I nabbed this one from one of the first batches at TradeEx and got lucky.




 
Tumbleweed I have the same gun, also from Trade Ex, and I have wondered what the model is. From digging around on a few other sites the best match I could come up with was a 1640 special.

I've enjoyed this gun a great deal over the past couple of moose hunts and have been checking the Trade Ex site time to time hoping to find another. I also find mine to be accurate as well.
 
OK, that clears it up. Since it's a recent import, it's a "1640 Special". It was made in 1964.The pin and cross bolt are original.
You did, very, very well indeed... That is a true collector item for N-A. :)

Thanks for the help Baribal. I do have other HVAs (I started out with a Model 3000 in about 1962, that I still have and enjoy) but this one was a bit of a head scratcher. I can't even remember how many 4000s and 4100s have come and gone through the years, but a lot.

The trouble is, the only one I can bring myself to hunt with is a rat bag 1640 that looks like it was dragged behind a mule. The rest are too pretty, and there's something fundamentally wrong in that. Like a girl that's to pretty to expect her to cook....*LOL*...it just ain't right.

Just picked this up the other day....needless to say I'm quite happy with it. Question is, is it factory original or aftermarket custom. The fella I got it from is quite sure it came from the factory like this, or at least out of Sweden like this.....I'm not sure, don't really care....The stock is stamped Nyberg-Sons inside under the barrel channel. The wood is in better shape then the metal, so I think aftermarket......who cares....whoever did it sure knew how to whittle a piece of wood...about 8.5 lbs



 
It reaaly looks like a replacement stock, if not, it's been reworked for sure. First, it seems to have a steel pistol grip cap, second, the buttpad is too modern and not the right type, third, the wod is much more figured than your averga HVA stock and way too pale for a 1651, fourth, the fore end nose should be plastic, fifth, the original 1651 have a SS crosspin and a visible cross bolt and neither are plugged by black dowells, then.
You can remove the barelled action from the stock and check for factory approval stamps (usually letters) in the inside of the stock and determined if it started life as a HVA production stock.
But to me, this type of stock and work is more likely a high end replacement. The stock shape style looks more like a mix of British safari and American style.

As for the barelled action itself, it seems to have started it's life as a 1651 Std, as I can't see jeweling on the bolt - or it was removed and if it started as something else than a "Standard" model, it should have the HVA-Tradewinds-Timney trigger.

If this is of interest for you, the 1651 have a different sight hood than any other HVA ones as it's beveled on one side (see below)

But all being relative, your rifle is simpy gorgeous.

Here's what the 1651 Special should like - the Std model have a Schnabel fore end.

Thanks Baribal, I think it's aftermarket as well.....I'm trying to find some info on Nyberg-Sons, but so far nothing. I have a 358 Standard as well. I can't remember if this has the regular trigger or not....I'll pull it out again and see
 
In Sweden (and I guess here too) the Standard model (like most others) was available with the adjistable trigger as an option. They got acces to much more custom work from the factory than we did.

As for searching for Nyberg & Sons, check using "kolvmakeri" or "vapen", there seems to be a couple of Nyberg still in business. Good luck!
 
Just to add to the available info....this brochure came with my first ever brand new Model 3000 in about 1962. I have no idea why the last one rotated (it's straight in photobucket!), I hope one of you guys can fix it, or you're going to get a crick in your neck!

You told me some time back, that my Husqvarna in 358NM was a model 1651 but I notice a difference between the shape/configuration of forend tip on yours and mine.



:confused:Why would that be?? Also, would you happen to have a spare front sight hood that you'd be willing to part with?
 
Thanks for all the info you've provided. From going through this thread with my dad and asking a few other family members it would appear I'm looking for a 4100 like the one pictured below. Any tips on what I should search for at trade ex? When I search Husqvarna 4100 nothing comes up.

Thanks again!

Why not? said:
Okay, here's one to get started.

30-06 Model 4100, aftermarket recoil pad, Redfield 4x of same vintage as the rifle. Right at seven pounds, as you see it!
