Husqvarna Rifle Serial Number Lookup
(Except for carbines with four-digit serial numbers, on these the other parts only have the last two figures in the serial number). Parts on Husqvarna made rifles.
I found this lists, first are bolt action rifles; 1927 501 1928 700 1929 1370 1930 3000 1931 4600 1932 6000 1933 7100 1934 8200 1935 9600 1936 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 5 5 500700 And the second are shotguns; 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2. First, thanks very much for the super serial/production date list in this Thread! Yet, wondering whether any known, unaccounted, omissions? Particularly in respect of the early postwar Model 640, FN mauser 98 rifle, 'Husqvarna' marked actions, 8mm chambering. These actions reflecting newer solid left receiver wall as well as vestigial stripper clip receiver bridge 'hump' with unfinished clip slot.
Apparently attributed to '48-8 production era, 50K+ serial range. Thanks for any information/opinon! I emailed shotguns.se. Tobias is not willing to spend the time and money to recreate 'skydevabben' but he will ask the owner, when and if he sees him, if the site, or data, is for sale. Gunboards might be the ideal choice for host if that looks promising, and I might be willing to make a reasonable donation. Apparently the book it was based on was 1 of 300 copies published in Swedish when the factory closed down in 1977, I think.
Gotavapen is aimed at military arms and is not interested. Can you imagine it took this 'disaster' to bring me back to Gunboards. I have been busy focusing on archery, and mentor a University archery club.
I shoot an Assyrian horse bow by Csaba Grozer and use the thumb draw.
I just started fixing up my fathers Vapenfabriks A.B. Nitro 149XXX. It has a Monte Carlo stock with flat bottom pistol grip, slide adjustable ramp rear sight for I believe 100-300 yards.
It has a push button in front of the trigger guard for removal of the mag floor plate. 600mm barrel. GREAT shooting gun Dad has always had a bit of 'Scottish pride' regarding his $28 3-9x30 bushnell scope from the 70's and how many deer it's killed. But after this years 'fail' on a nice mule deer from aging eyes in low light looking into the setting sun with the Ol' antique sportview, I was given the green light to bring the gun into the modern age with a new scope, rings, mounts. For the scope I'm going with a leapers 4-16x50 AO mil dot I'm wondering though. Will a Mauser 98 picatinny rail fit his receiver screw holes? I know there's issues with stripper clips but this isn't a military model it's for filling the freezer:D the following is what I'm considering.
Sooo update on the rifle. After a complete dis-assembly and finding tons of years worth of carbon build up and gunk (surprise?)in the bolt assembly that hasn't been cleaned in 40 years, things are running much smoother now. I've found a few small hairline cracks in the stock, one behind the mag well and a typical one at the rear of the tang. I'm going to glass bed the action with devcon 2 ton and that should get some more solid years out of the rifle stock. I installed a crispy razor sharp 2 lb Timney trigger (that I polished with with a ceramic stone) and Dad was AMAZED what modern machining can provide! ( maybe I can con him into buying a mill to finish the machine work, wait that won't work he's Scottish and tighter than bark on a tree! NM) I machined a picatinny rail with 20 MOA slope to fit (the span length between the holes was off by a few thousandths) Also added a UTG 1/4 MOA 4-16x 50mm scope with illuminated mil dot, a step up from the 1/2MOA 3-9x 32mm!
Ararat leran masin texekutyun. Hopefully he can see that monster buck he missed out on in WY this year this time around:D Any suggestions on a bluing or parkerizing finish? I was thinking oil bathe all the metal for several months and let the metal soak as much oil as it can and polishing it. Like log truckers do with the floor boards on their rigs. If not I have some good methods for super blue. The bluing is pretty sparse on parts of the barrel and trigger guard.
