Trying to determine what Model this Husqvarna is

[homeboy1]

This rifle has been in the family for 50+ years. It's in 220 swift. I'm attempting to determine the Model Number and whether or not it is large or small shank. I was thinking about re-barreling it to 9.3 x 62. I believe the stock has been modified but am not sure. Any assistance as to Model Number, etc would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't rebarrel that, I'd restock it with an original factory stock.

That would be a cool and rather rare chambering worthy of preservation.

Large ring action (no doubt FN, very early 1950s) in an aftermarket stock. Not a common cartridge for a husqvarna. Safety looks to be aftermarket as well.

As PB says, a commercial FN Supreme action - arguably one of the best 98 large ring actions.

Well, what you have there is a "1950" "High Power" rifle likely imported by Tradewinds or here in Canada by the Dorken Bros.
This particular caliber is much more desirable than a 9.3X62....
The model was 640 and relies on a "commercial" 1898 FN Mauser.
The stock was heavily modified and the sights removed.

You can check this thread (and I usually answers faster and more easily when it's posted there) to gather more information.

Thanks for the info. Given that it's somewhat rare, I will leave it alone and pursue other options for a 9.3 x 62. Thanks again.

It would be a kinda fun coyote rifle out in my part of the world. Helluva lot more character than a new Axis!

Exactly..... you could likely get one, or an m98 in 9.62 from Tradex for a little more than the price of the rebarrel job....

leave it as is . and go to Tradex and pick one.. might need some work but good value
